    Let me add my praise to all the other reviewers for the excellent and amazing communication and attention to detail we received from Tsehten, head of Bhutan Travel Guru. From start to finish he and his team communicated promptly and clearly, taking care of all the details of our trip--procuring our visas, obtaining the required travel health insurance for us, arranging the flights in and out of Delhi, and providing an excellent, safe, and personable driver, good quality car and attentive guide. It was a fabulous trip start to finish and his prices were all-inclusive of hotels, meals, entrance fees and other expenses (except for tips and drinks). His all-inclusive quote for the trip for the four star hotels we requested (truly lovely and luxurious hotels) came in roughly the same price as another top reviewed Trip Advisor tour company in Bhutan for lower quality three star level hotels. So I highly recommend him for both service and price! I had trouble logging in to the flight reservations for our Druk Airlines trip from Delhi to Paro, Bhutan, and one simple email, and one hour later we had the boarding passes and seat assignment via email which his team had logged on done on our behalf.

    Bhutan is a lovely and unique country and an experience like no other. On our last night, we visited a local woman who runs a homestay and had a hot stone bath she prepared for us and a delicious meal she served. It was one of the highlights of our trip to see inside a typical farmhouse (after passing them all week) and hear from her what life is like for her raising her children with her husband on a small farm in Bhutan. Turns out families in Bhutan are struggling with many of the same issues we face here in the U.S. The countryside and afternoon hiking were spectacular and the many historic forts and the Buddhist monasteries and temples very interesting and well restored.

    My girlfriends and I had an outstanding experience with Bhutan Best Inbound Tour. Among the tour options that we considered, this was the most well-suited to our tastes, well-reviewed, certified by the Bhutanese government and fairly priced. Thinley, our tour coordinator, was highly responsive from the very early planning stages and flexible with the itinerary. He made it a point to greet us in person in Thimphu. Our guide Lhab was truly incredible: he was friendly, patient and so informative. We genuinely felt like we had made a new friend. We also had wonderful drivers (Geym, Pema) througout. We had great exposure to Bhutanese food and culture, saw numerous stunning temples and monasteries, as well as engaged in more adventurous activities like rafting, hiking and camping. Of note, following a last-minute request, Thinley and Lhab arranged for a poignant commemoration of a couple of recently departed loved ones of members of our travel group; I will cherish those memories and their kindness forever. A couple of us were so moved that we decided to extend our trip, and Thinley and Lhab facilitated this with great courtesy and helpfulness. Overall, this ranks among the favorite trips for everyone in our well-travelled group. I highly recommend using Bhutan Best Inbound Tour for travel to Bhutan and can't wait to return to this stunning, peaceful country someday.

    We travelled to Nepal from 14/11 to 28/11/19. The trip was organized by Rik Van Belle, MyHimalaya (Ghent, Belgium) in corporation with HimalayanDreamTeam Kathmandu (Mrs Indira Kathiwoda)

    From the start (a warm welcome and diner), to the end of the trip we felt a personal attention and every day Indira stood in touch with us, and was ready to adapt our tour to all our wishes.
    We also met very kind guides, drivers and porter, who friendly wishes to show their country and looked after us very well.
    Everything was perfectly arranged: the pick-ups at the hotels, the city walks, the trekking, the flights and transport. We stayed in beautiful hotels and charming guesthouses and lodges and everyone was very friendly.
    We definitively recommend this organization for a visit to Nepal!

    Thanks a lot, Indira and her team, and Rik!

    I am grateful to Heavenly Bhutan for planning an amazing trip for me. The journey is hassle-free and everything is well-organized. Bhutan is a place you should go once in a lifetime if you want to get close to nature and see how happy people live their lives with a minimalist approach. My guide Mr. Suraj and captain Tandin, were great company throughout the trip. Suraj assisted me and provided me with his extensive knowledge of Bhutan's history, beliefs, and culture. He also assisted me in experiencing authentic Bhutanese cuisine and restaurants while Tandan drove us to the mountains of Bhutan and both made my trip one to remember.

    We had a well curated and guided tour across some spectacular sites in Bhutan. The tour planning to itinerary was handled by the Bhutan Travel Club in a professional manner while customizing it to meet our personal requirements. The guides were very courteous with in-depth knowledge of the sites that we visited and was happy to tweak the itinerary to make the journey very comfortable for us.

    Bhutan has always been on my bucket list so in 2020, I booked and paid for a tour with IKNOWBHUTAN. Unfortunately, we all know what happened. However, Mr. Sangay is a true gentleman. He kept our reservations open for two whole years and we finally made it there in December 2022. In addition to that, he honoured the 2020 prices which we paid despite the fact that costs have gone up quite substantially since then. The 2020 trip was supposed to be for celebrating my 51st birthday. Guess what, I got to do that too as Sangay insisted on having the birthday party as it was part and parcel of the original deal!.

    What I love about the company is that for just the two of us going, they were able to specially curate a unique itinerary which meant we got to see what we wanted to see at our own pace. The hotels that Sangay booked us into were awesome!!!! Some of the most unique hotels which are representative of the mountains and the valleys that we visited. There is this particular hotel that still utilizes an 18th century wood fire furnace to heat up the rooms and one has to put ones own wood every now and again to keep warm. Truly a bespoke experience.

    Both the guide as well as the driver provided by IKNOWBHUTAN were the consummate professionals who are experts in their trade. They say Bhutan is filled with magic. I say the magic is because of people like Sangay who can make a jaded old man have his birthday in December.

    TRULY remarkable experience and thank you Sangay.

    Best Bhutan tour I had ever in January 2020 which was arranged by one of the best and top travel agencies in Bhutan known as Bhutan Travel center. it was nice to see the beautiful evergreen mountains. Everything easy for me from the beginning. I would say this agent is customer-oriented and the most experienced agent which I came through. They provided me with the best price with exceptional services. My Guide Gurung and Driver Karma was a friendly person, they made my tour very comfortable. It was a well-arranged tour with a very comfortable vehicle which was very safe for me. The food was really organic, Delicious, and hygienic. The entire tour was exceptionally beautiful. Thank you so much to my agent and the entire team of Bhutan Travel center for organizing my lifetime memorable trip.

    I went on this tour in Bhutan and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. The guide was amazing in every way. Their communication was clear and they provided a detailed plan for each day of the tour, which helped make the most of my time there. They were also very flexible and accommodating to my interests, which made the tour feel very personalised. Additionally, the guide was extremely knowledgeable when it came to the history and culture of each location we visited. They provided a lot of insight and context that helped me understand and appreciate the sights we were seeing.

    The hotels were also of high quality, and provided a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The driver was also excellent and made sure that we arrived safely at each destination. The meals during the tour were well-timed and delicious. We even had the opportunity to try some home-cooked meal experiences which were awesome.

    Overall, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in visiting Bhutan. It was an unforgettable experience, and I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to explore this beautiful country.

    Our trip to Bhutan with Best Bhutan Inbound was amazing! Our guide Namgay and driver Tenzin made the trip really great - they were both very friendly and made sure we had an itinerary that included everything we wanted to do. I really appreciated the effort they put into our trip, and their flexibility in changing or adding some activities based on our preferences. We were interested in seeing a local market, so they found us one. We wanted to check out archery, so they found us a place to practice with a bow and arrow. We wanted to see animals, so they took us to a reserve with takins. In addition, Namgay was extremely informative and always took the time to answer our questions about any sites we visited. We never felt rushed, and had some downtime in addition to activities.

    Before the trip, I spent a lot of time emailing with Thinley at Best Bhutan Inbound about our trip. Thinley was extremely responsive, friendly, and helpful and I really enjoyed working with him as well! He even gave us a gift once we got to Bhutan, which was very thoughtful.

    I would recommend Best Bhutan Inbound, as well as Thinley, Namgay, and Tenzin!

    After planning to visit Bhutan since 2015, we were able to finally make it there in mid March 2023. With the recent change in rules etc., I thought it would be better to book my tour through an operator based in Bhutan. After a quick search on Google, I sent out emails with my itinerary to 3 companies. The response from Bhutan Best Inbound Tour caught my attention.
    Mr. Thinley, provided me a quote and was extremely prompt to answer all my queries in the most detailed and respectful manner. What surprised me was when he called me in India to explain that my itinerary was a bit hectic considering the mountain roads and speed limits in place. However, he assured me that the assigned Guide and Driver would try their best to achieve.
    After transferring the agreed amount, our Permit and other formalities commenced. Details of our Guide (Mr. Tandin) and Driver (Mr. Sonam) and car were sent to me.
    The entire logistics from our pickup from Bagdogra airport to Phuentsholing border crossing to taking care of us for our entire 12 day stay and dropping us back to our hotel at Bagdogra was near perfect.
    Having visited 25 countries so far, I can confidently state that Mr. Tandin and Mr. Sonam were extraordinary. Their honesty, behavior, punctuality, consideration and knowledge of Bhutan impressed us and made our trip a memorable one. I can also add that Mr. Sonam is the safest driver I have encountered in many years (considering that I myself drive since last 30 years) and which is a necessity on Bhutanese mountain roads. I wish both these gentle souls with good luck…
    Mr. Tandin and Mr. Sonam understood our expectations on this trip and strived to fulfill them. They took us to restaurants that served mouth watering Bhutanese food😋😋. We just loved it.
    I believe that any company is as good as its boss/ owner and Mr. Thinley did not disappoint me. It was extraordinary that he took out time from his busy schedule and came to meet us in our hotel at Thimphu! His sweet and thoughtful gesture to present us with Prayer flags is a memory to cherish. He coordinated with our Guide and made sure that we hoisted our Prayer flag on Dochu La pass on the auspicious day. Thanks Thinley…🙏🏻
    My best wishes to all these gentleman for making our trip a memorable one. Mr. Tandin and Mr. Sonam is a dream team for any tourist be it solo, couple or a group…

    I highly recommend you book your trip to Bhutan via Bhutan Travel Guru.

    The communication while planning the trip was excellent, and they were more than happy to customize our tour based on our preferences.

    The tour itself went perfectly starting from the very beginning to the very end. Our tour guide and driver, Sonam and Gele, were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the trip. They never rushed us, but always kept us on good time.

    Bhutan is a wonderful place to visit, and if I find myself back I will definitely plan my trip with Bhutan Travel Guru.

  • Dema and Kencho met me at Paro airport coming in from India and I was immediately put at ease with their friendliness and Kencho's careful driving through the mountainous roads in a very comfortable, warm and solid SUV car.

    Unfortunately I became very ill the next day (something I had eaten in India)and everyone, Dema, Kencho, Karma, Lhendup and the hotel staff were so caring and attentive and offered to take me to hospital. Luckily I was a lot better after a good sleep and some hydration salts they gave me. I felt comforted that I was in good hands being on my own in a foreign country.

    The rest of the trip was amazing and I didn't feel that I had missed anything seeing monastaries, dzongs, a museum, shopping, lunch at a farmhouse, attempting archery and the beautiful scenary. The weather was beautiful and sunny during the day and the hotel rooms were warm and comfy at night. They made sure I was going at a pace I was happy with not feeling 100%.

    I feel that I made some beautiful friends in Bhutan and I would love to return for a festival and do the Tiger Nest hike.

    I definitely would recommend Acorn Tours who genuinely go above and beyond from the visa and flight bookings to caring for you as a person.

    Thank you Dema, Kencho, Karma and Lhendup.
