From our travellers.
We had a wonderful 12-day trip to Bhutan thanks to Thunphel Travels. Being our first international trip and with added overhead of guides and so on, we were really clueless, but kindly made everything easy for us. She planned the itinerary based on our needs. We got to visit all the famous and must-visit places, but also got to experience unexplored places like Ha, got to try hot stone baths, got to visit a cheese factory, tried craft beer, and stayed at Tharpaling Monastery.
This was the perfect choice for the perfect trip. I realize these things are highly individualized, but I think that's what made it so incredible for me. I felt completely accommodated and attuned to before I went, and felt all the flexibility and structure necessary to enjoy every moment. Thank you again for all your effort and attention. I felt every ounce of warmth, wonder, and benevolence that Bhutan so generously provides. I recommend personalizing your interests and taking advantage of the knowledge and kindness on offer here. I'll surely be back!
My wife and I had a fantastic time on the Paro Tsechu tour that we booked through this company. The company operator, Kinley, was incredibly friendly and helpful and our guide, Ugyen was excellent. The accommodations they put us up in were amazing, and all of the food provided during the tour was wonderful. They were incredibly accommodating and helpful throughout the booking process and during the tour itself. Lastly, the festival itself was amazing to witness and Paro was a beautiful city to experience. Looking forward to visiting Bhutan again and booking a tour through them.
