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!
2. 15-Day Bird Watching and Cultural Tour in Bhutan
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.
