My family went to Bhutan in July this year. Mr. Jovi helped us organize everything and He was amazing. So helpful, clear communication, and efficient every step of the way. He helped answer many questions about my travel in Bhutan as well which was so nice of him. Our Bhutan trip was so great, and my local guide Migma was the best! and Sonam ( his driver) were excellent. Would recommend this company and especially Jovi for organizing!

Mr William Edward Beckman | Traveled in September
My whole team was so adaptable and kind. My guide Spring took me on incredible hiking and cultural journeys with his endless knowledge of history, Buddhism, architecture, animals and nature. Our driver Lahto was amazing at navigating the mountainous roads safely and confidently with added humor. The owner Tsenrig met me for dinner one night because I mentioned I wanted to try a lot of Bhutanese food. All the stops we made were so good and the accommodations were so nice with not a bad meal the whole trip. If you’re still on the fence, get this: I left my coat in a town 2 hours away and got it driven to me in 4 hours later so I didn’t leave without it on my early flight the next morning. Truly not a bad word can be said about this team and their team made my trip one of my favorite traveling experiences I’ve ever had.
Desum Ronya | Traveled in August
