What to do and see in Bhutan, Bhutan: The Best Tours
Remote Bhutan first allowed the world a peek inside in 1974. With four millennia of habitation, the Himalayan kingdom offers a trove of archaeological treasures, including many ornate temples and dzong fortresses. Isolation has preserved the heavily Buddhist-influenced culture of the last Shangri-La.

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!

What can we say? Chencho has the perfect qualities to ensure your time in Bhutan is all you could hope for. Firstly, be assured every part of your tour will be impeccably organised (you will not notice unless you care to). You may want to take in a darts or archery competition as you pass by: no problem, flexibility to accommodate your wishes is a given. You may need encouragement to cross the river on the chain bridge: a gentle hand awaits. As you trek through the gorgeous mountains your guide will have banter with a friend driving the yaks or another passing en route to Paro. Does he know everyone in Bhutan? (Possibly) With a sixth sense awareness of your goals (and limitations) Chencho will be there to guide, encourage, support. His knowledge of, and respect for, his country is infectious and will add a spiritual dimension to your journey you may not have anticipated. Did I mention, he is gorgeous.

Journey highlander is run by unprofessional , untrustworthy people-- Omnath Chhetri and Poor employee Januka. We had booked a complete package.They gave vouchers for very good hotels and took good amount of money & once we reached Bhutan , they changed all hotels to distant localities and newly opened cheapest ones. The Driver was supposed to know the itinery and be a guide but HE was ignorant and had no connection with Journey highlander. In ToTo, it was bad bad experience.

We had an outstanding trip to Bhutan, even as a global pandemic began to unfold. Our guide Pema and our driver Kencho, were absolutely phenomenal! We met Sonam and Tashi during our trip, and it was clear to us after meeting them, why we were having such a great experience. I highly recommend Bhutan Swallowtail Tours and would DEFINITELY use them again and again.

I wanted to travel Bhutan for a long time as I had many Bhutanese friends from my college days in Bangalore. I was finally able to pull things together and take out time for this trip to the wonderful Himalayan kingdom in 2018. To my luck I found out that one of my friends, Thinley was operating a travel company in Bhutan and he helped me arrange all the logistics. He arranged a wonderful Bhutan tour for me. The trip was amazing as I was able to meet my good old friends and explore the country of happiness with them. Some of the highlights of my tour are: • The magnificent Tiger’s Nest • Wonderful Paro valley • Excursion to the highest motorable pass of Chele La (3,988 meters) • The serene valley of Ura in Bumthang Bhutan is a paradise of natural beauty and unique culture. Every word that I heard describing this gorgeous stood true. It is a must visit place for anyone who like mountains and nature.

Booking the entire tour through Druk Asia was very convenient. Each of my enquiry was replied via email within 24 hours. E-tickets and visa was also send via email with no need for us to go to the office, which reduced much hassle. We had a fantastic time exploring the various attractions. The natural scenery and architecture was awe-inspiring. The key highlights of our trip was the very pleasant Phobjikha nature hike in Gangtey and the challenging but must do Tiger Nest hike. But what got us captivated was seeing the snow-capped Himalayan mountain range at Lawa La Pass. No words could describe our emotions, it was simply breathless!! Our guide Kinley Dendup was very professional and knowledgeable in sharing with us all the stories and details of each attraction. Not forgetting our driver Phrupa who tirelessly drove us from one place to another safely. Their friendliness made us feel we were on holiday with friends and not just as guide and driver. Would definitely recommend Druk Asia as the to go agent to my friends for their trip to Bhutan.
