Thimphu Adventure Tour Reviews

Regina Misovicova | Traveled in October

5.0 - Excellent

Interesting tour through 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).

Incredible Bhutan Experience

We have joined a group tour organized by this local travel specialist for Dagala Thousand Lakes trip in 2019. It was one of the most scenic treks that I have ever been to. All along the way you will be greeted by towering Himalayas like Mountain Jumolhari, Kanchenjunga, Tsheringma and on occasion you may see Mount Everest as well. I took this trek on end of May when the wild flower was in bloom. The trek also gives you a glimpse of many glacial lakes. We had a wonderful trekking experience with the agency. Thank you. Note: Please bring warm clothes as it can get chilly on such elevation even during May month.

Wonderful Trekking Experience

The trek started from a remote village in Thimphu and the trekking trail offered breathtaking views of gorgeous mountains. We were able to see the entire Himalayan ranges and came across plentiful of crystalline lakes. The 5 days trek was not very strenuous and we were able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and tranquility of secluded mountains high above sea level. The tour ended with a hike the signature spot of Bhutan, Paro Taktsang which was a great experience. The highlights of the tour were mountains- lakes and Taktsang

A fine hike in beautiful hills

The Tigers nest was a super start to this holiday and must not be missed. There followed a tour of the Pato valley. The a fine fine hike with four nights in tents from Paro to Thimphu. Well organised with a guide who was great for Bhutanese culture and who had very good English. Good food and we were looked after well. Scenery is not as spectacular as in Nepal but it is a beautiful area. We reached 4200 m and it snowed on s one night but we were warm enough. After the trek we spent time being driven to various wonderful cultural sites and over a pass into a further valley. The Dzongs and temples were superb. A memorable trip.
