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.
My friend Tyler booked this 3-day tour for us for our group of 7 and we couldn't be more happier. We had an incredible experience with them and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Bhutan. Their team was exceptionally helpful and responsive. The itinerary they crafted for us was perfect. Our guide, Yeshey, was knowledgeable and passionate about sharing Bhutan's history and traditions, making every site we visited even more meaningful. He is simply amazing and funny too. Our driver, Jigme, was always on time and ready to pick us up and take us where we needed to go.
My 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.
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.
