About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- iannao0 contributionsA Magical Cultural Journey Through BhutanMy 8-Day Happiness Bhutan Tour was an unforgettable experience filled with breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and warm hospitality. From exploring the iconic Tiger’s Nest Monastery to visiting stunning dzongs and monasteries, every moment was truly special. The itinerary included moderate-difficulty hikes, allowing us to fully appreciate Bhutan’s pristine nature while experiencing a sense of accomplishment. One of the highlights was seeing the majestic black-necked cranes in their natural habitat—a truly magical and serene experience. Our guide Sonam was knowledgeable and passionate, ensuring we gained deep insights into Bhutan’s unique philosophy of Gross National Happiness. The tour was a perfect blend of culture, history, nature, and adventure. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an enriching and joyful journey!Written 6 February 2025
- 65jacek_0 contributionsA country unlike any other...It was our first visit to Bhutan.Did it with a friend.Have choosen randomely from Google Thunphel Travels because from the scratch they offer was clear enough to make a decision to go with them.In the end we have received really good value for money. I ask for 8 days Bhutan Classic and I got what I asked for.Final price include everything and standard of 3 star hotels in Bhutan is amazing.All meals were included. Guide@driver were excellent ones.The tour was a remakeble one and Thunpel Bhutan Travels rose to the challenge. Thank you Kinley for all your efforts to make us happy in your unique country..:)) Jacek@EmilWritten 19 November 2024
- Serban70000 contributionsAmazing tour in Bhutan October 2024We had a wonderful time in Bhutan in October 2024, and Kinley and her team significantly contributed to our successful trip. They were very organized, waited for us at the airport, and then drove us everywhere, according to our plan, and budget, and of course depending on the weather conditions. The car was very clean, the chosen hotels very clean and with nice rooms, and both our driver and local guide were amazing. They made sure we have enough time on our own (whenever we liked), and did their best to show us authentic experiences in less touristic areas, including many places where we met only local people. We were very happy with our experience, and we recommend them a lot, as they are a local company, very reliable and you would support a local business, just as good (if not better) than international tour operators that inflate the prices and at the end of the day they use also the local operators. We will happily return and use their services again!Written 30 October 2024
- chandnis4840 contributions10/10 - Will surely do it againI had planned my entire 1 week trip to Bhutan with Thunphel and I am so glad I came across them. Kinley (owner and planner) is a superwoman who will customize every aspect of your trip; sometimes even on-the-go based on your interests. I had the pleasure to spend time with her as well as my fabulous tour guides - Kungzung and Yeshey who were amazing travel partners throughout. Did I mention it was a solo trip? As a single lady traveling, they collectively made my trip so amazing that I did not have to think twice about my safety; I could thoroughly focus on just enjoying every moment in this beautiful country. I went as a stranger to Bhutan but came back with a bunch of friends who I look forward to visit again soon. Highly recommend them to plan your dream trip to this beautiful land of the dragon!Written 15 September 2024
- 154divyap0 contributionsBest decision ever!I had the most wonderful time in Bhutan. Sonam and Phubra were the best guide and driver. This was my first ever solo travel and it was the best decision I made. They were so knowledgeable and they made sure of my safety at all times. The best part is the itinerary was catered according to my need and they understood my likes and dislikes! I am definitely coming to Bhutan again.Written 17 June 2024

- layphengo0 contributionsBhutan trip in Apr 2024I visited Bhutan with a friend on 21 Apr to 1 May 2024. We took a package from Thunphel Bhutan Travel which provide us with a car, a driver and a tour guide. The itinerary was mostly planned by Kinley (thanks, boss) with few changes by us. We visited Paro, Bumthang, Ura, Trongsa, Phobjikha, Punakha & Thimphu which include witness the Ura Yagchoe festival, Simply Bhutan, National Institute of Traditional Arts and Craft, Royal Botanical Park, Royal Takin Preserve, Tiger's Nest hike, many temples, monastery, fortress where the tour guide was very patient to tell us the legendary stories, history, etc. Some of these places we visited include hiking/walking to reach there. I like to hike in a cool weather. We were impressed by ourselves that we managed to complete the Tiger's Nest hike which started from 7.20am to 3.30pm. Overall, no regret visiting Bhutan though it's expensive. Thanks Kinley, Sonam (Jack) & Lhabchu for the wonderful trip.Written 22 May 2024

Bhutan Bound - Do yourself a favour and contact Thunphel Bhutan Travel as your first point of call.
Bhutan Bound and you want a most reliable, efficient and informed agent, with outstanding communication skills who addresses your every need then it would be very much in your interest to seek out Kinley Wangmo of Thunphel Butan Travel (www.thunpeltours.com).
Pre trip planning was made so easier through Kinley's clear understanding of our needs and her wonderful accurate feedback ensured that we were to undertake what was a most memorable few days Glimpse of Bhutan with great confidence and assurance that all that was planned would actually happen.
Such was the attention to detail that on the day prior to the commencement of our trip our assigned guide Thinley met us at our hotel at Jaigaon on the Indian border to inform us that next day he would meet us at immigration and take us through the process of entry into Bhutan. Such made ease of entry totally non stressful - a very good start.
Thinley was an extremely knowledgeable guide who had his client's interest at heart. He understood his client's interests and needs being well organized, punctual - if Thinley said we are leaving at 7 am we left at 7 am, in other words ensuring that valuable time was not lost sitting in hotel foyers - and most flexible as we did on occasions customise our tour at very short notice.
Our very friendly and concerned for our safety driver, Tenzing, provided a very safe environment in a very well-maintained vehicle as we moved though our day's activities.
During our tour Kinley even made a special effort to meet us and provided morning tea for us - a gesture that was really appreciated and didn't go unnoticed. Thank you Kinley.
Accommodation provided by our tour was superb and all factors relating to such were aptly handled by our guide. All meals - breakfast, lunch dinner were included in the very competitive tour price and were fantastic as we were able to experience a range of cuisines which adds to the experience.
A word on Bhutan - it is a magnificent kingdom with a rich unique history and culture which is reflected in the populations Proud to be Bhutanese demeanor. Specifically with its dramatic landscapes, unmatched scenery, beautifully maintained buildings with their unique Bhutan architecture - windows, cleanliness of rural and urban areas Bhutan has so much to offer.
I wish to thank Kinley for her outstanding planning and organization as such ensured a most memorable few days for us. Her input, support, help and flexibility were greatly appreciated.
Lastly, I'd like to thank the comments made by previous reviewers of Thunphel Bhutan Travel because it was they who made me fully aware of the outstanding service provided by Kinley and her husband and as a consequence we also contacted her and are so pleased that we did. Thank you Kinley. We wish you the very best - you deserve it.

We had a great experience in Bhutan, after arranging our travels with Kinley in the months before arriving. Kinley was accommodating to all our ideas and wants. Our experience with Kinza as our guide and Wang Da as our driver was wonderful. Both kind and funny people we got along well for the 14 day trip (and we never travel with groups or guides)

I booked my trip for 4 days with Kinley. Everything was systematically organized without any issues and she was also kind enough to have dinner with me the night I arrived. My tour guide was Thinley, he was very patient and answered all my questions. He is very knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable. The hike to Tiger’s nest was the highlight of my trip. I also got lucky with witnessing the full moon auspicious day chanting happening at all the places of worship I visited.

From the moment we arrived in Bhutan and were met by our guide and driver, Niduh and Kandu, the arrangements made for us by Thunphel Bhutan Travel fell into place perfectly. The beauty and wonder of Bhutan is well reviewed elsewhere, but the importance of having a local travel company that takes time to understand your interests and values may be underestimated. We were fortunate enough to find the ideal company in Thunphel Bhutan Travel. They were attentive to every aspect of our trip - patiently arranging our schedule and accommodation while accepting our comments and suggestions and then continually checking with our guide to ensure our trip was going well. Kinley's and Phuntsho's hospitality was exceptional - not only did they take us out for dinner but also they took us for drinks with their friends and Kinley drove from Thimphul to Paro to see us before we left. Their genuine, friendly concern for our enjoyment of the trip was exceptional. If you are considering visiting Bhutan we highly recommend you use the services of Thunphel Bhutan Travel.
