“Bhutan, there are no words to describe how amazing this country and people are. The agency is very professional and attended to us with all the attention and support. Many tanks Thinley. The guide who was with us was “Tashi Wangdi”, he is wonderful, very attentive and gave us valuable information about the culture and history of Bhutan and all the places we visited. Many tanks Tashi. The driver who accompanied us was “Chencho Dorji”, he is also excellent. Many tanks Dorji. Wellington and Cris.”

“What made our Bhutan experience exceptionally memorable were not only the stunning natural beauty and historical architectures, but a glimpse of the heart of the Bhutanese unadorned sincerity, altruistic and respectful.After contacting a few tour operators, I decided to go with the local travel specialist because of Thinleys prompt and professional communication. We emailed back and forth for many many times to customise the trip according to our preference. Thinley was very patient and considerate in addressing our problem and suggesting plans.Our Chinese-speaking tour guide Rabgay and driver Khandu also contributed in delivering an exceptionally relaxed and enjoyable Bhutan experience to our family. They did a good job of taking care of us at hiking and helped us to accommodate to the fast changing climate and environment. Rabgay is very professional and earnest in explaining everything. The vehicle, food, and hotels are all very satisfactory.Apart from Thimphu, Paro, and Punakha, our trip to Gangtey Monastery and Phobjikha valley (Thinleys suggestion) really brought surprises to us. The Valley impressed us by its stunning natural beauty of primitive cedar forest, graceful cow and horses on the meadow and near the river, and most importantly, the peace and silence. At Gangtey monastery we attended a ritual dedicated specially to our family, smoke offering, dharma talk, and meditation session. Thinley made a lot of efforts in arranging these and he also explained us the deeper meaning behind the ritual. He is a dedicated dharma practitioner and brought us a lot of edification.Thanks so much again for delivering us such a great experience and I would highly recommend this agency to anyone whos interested in visiting Bhutan.”

“The trip to Bhutan was interesting, strange and surprising in many ways. We needed to combine work matters with getting to know this amazing country. We had basic information from various sources like almost all tourists, but the landscape, culture and people still surprised us, of course in a positive way. We have only positive experiences, I think mainly thanks to the agency and the guide (who could have been a bit more talkative).”

Bhutan - Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Bhutan is a hiker’s paradise, perhaps best known for its dramatic landscapes, steep cliffs and Himalayan peaks. Sometimes referred to as ‘the last great Himalayan kingdom’, the country maintains a mysterious, sacred history that you simply won’t find anywhere else, even in its neighbouring countries. Enriched with Buddhist culture, Bhutan is great for travellers looking to take a mindful holiday with a spiritual connection. Unique cultural experiences abound in Bhutan, from incredible monasteries to dozens of year-round festivals.

Tour Highlights

  • Trek to Taktshang Goemba (Tiger’s Nest Monastery), an impressive 7,000 feet above sea level
  • Attend Thimphu Tshechu, a three-day festival starting the 10th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar
  • Visit Punakha Dzong, the crowning place of Bhutan’s kings
  • Snap a photo of a Takin, Bhutan’s national animal
  • Cross the iron chain bridge at Tachog Lhakhang

Travel Tips

  • Don’t expect to do much swimming on your visit to Bhutan. The country of Bhutan is completely landlocked, and its lakes are considered sacred.
  • Be courteous and respectful when visiting monasteries, temples and other religious places. Be sure to remove your shoes and hat before entering. Many of these sites also forbid photography, so never take photos without first asking permission.
  • No, you’re not seeing things - those certainly are paintings of penises you see everywhere in Bhutan. These paintings are meant to dispel evil and act as a protection against malice. They’re also meant to encourage fertility and were originally encouraged by Drukpa Kunley, or the “Madman from Kyishodruk”, Bhutan’s fertility saint.
  • The Bhutanese love spicy food. Red and green chilis can be found in nearly every local dish. In fact, the national dish, ema datse, not only contains chillies, it is also served with dried chillies on top!
  • If you come across the royal family during your trip to Bhutan (which is likely to happen, given the country’s small population of about 800,000 people), do not take their photo without permission. Be sure to show respect as the Bhutanese truly love their monarchy.
