I visited Bhutan through this company in early March 2020. Mr. Phuntsho of the company had been very prompt and helpful in organizing the trip. He kept the itinerary flexible which allowed me to spend more time at places I loved. I did not have any issues right from the planning of the trip until I left the country. My guide and the drive were a very friendly and I must say they really made my trip one of the best. I highly recommend Bhutan Acorn!

Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 3 reviews
Best birding, wildlife and cultural tour in Bhutan. Bhutan is a small country nestled in Eastern Himalayas - a land of rhododendron forests, stunning panoramas and friendly Buddhist culture. Bird watching in Bhutan is a sublime experience. Towns are very small and surrounded by untouched forests. There is very little traffic and the roads provide excellent opportunities to walk through what are surely the best-preserved forests anywhere in the Himalayas. On this trip we will see some 350 different birds, 12-15 mammal species and an amazing variety of butterflies and flowers. There will also be time to see the amazing architecture, visit dzong’s, which blend the role of both fortress and monastery, and meet the friendly Bhutanese people. Overall, experience the unique culture of Bhutan, expanding your interests but not compromising your main objectives! This itinerary has been designed to see the best of Bhutan, with a minimum of long-distance driving, and removing the need for camp.

In February 2020 four danish birders were on a two week tour across Bhutan with Langur Eco Travels. Our guide Sonam was not only very good to find the birds, but could also tell us stories from this marvelous country. The team did a fantastic job, and everything worked perfect. We can higly recomend Langur Eco Travel and a tour to Bhutan.

We had an amazing time enjoying the culture and nature of Bhutan, guided by Jigme and accompanied by Sonum. Before booking I exchanged many emails with Rigzin at the head office who couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating to my many questions. We had 7-8 days to explore Bhutan and Rigzin helped to personalise our itinerary based on my love of food and my travelling partner's love of art/history. For anyone who is wondering whether to book a trip, I would say do it! Bhutan is unlike any country I've ever been to and Bhutan Travel Club went out of their way to make sure we were fully informed of the history and culture.

My husband and I stayed at the Curassow lodge in February 2020. It was off season (the rising water season) so we had the lodge for just ourselves. Everything from welcoming to the last minute was just perfect. We had an amazing guide Leoncio Nina, who grew up in this area and knows everything about local plants, animals, jungle survival tips and local village people life. He was fluent in English and very friendly with us. Our guide was very good at spotting animals. We saw sloths, pygmy monkeys, capuchin monkeys, red howler monkeys, dolphins, caymans, reptiles and many birds. The lodge was very clean and the cabins felt cosy and relaxing to sleep in the middle of jungle noises. The meals were so delicious and served with love, fresh jungle fruits juices different every time, local fish. The food was a part of the jungle experience. They even cooked barracudas and piranhas that we coughed by our hands. The staff was constantly asking if we need something, and were willing to help if we just need something. After we left the lodge Leoncio helped us with the transportation to another lodge and two days later with the transportation to the airport. To conclude, IT WAS THE BEST EXPERIENCE WE HAVE EVER HAD ON OUR VACATIONS. If you decide to book this trip, BOOK DIRECTLY FROM THEM, they are very responsive and you can easily transfer money through Western Union.
