An Inspiring Tour to Bhutan We had a great trip to Bhutan this year. We worked on the trip for a whole year with an agent - Jovi who is wonderful, he planned a magnificent tour for us and was always there to answer our questions. The tour was great with wonderful guides who did everything they could to satisfy and make us happy. They took good care of us where needed. The drivers were excellent, in winding, rugged, narrow roads we felt completely safe. Everything on the tour worked perfectly well. Thank you.

I am big on fitness and love hiking. I took my trip to the marvelous jewels of the Himalayan Kingdom, Bhutan over a year ago. I feel privileged to have been a part of their rare and unique culture besides the awe-inspiring natural beauty.The high altitude hike from the 4000 meters Chelela pass to Kila Nunnery was my top favorite. The path was deep in the forest and was showered with rhododendron flowers along the way. About Bhutan as a whole, I couldnt say better things say or describe. It was marvelous.
