Bhutan a really beautiful country with interesting history and culture






Hi Sangay,

Thanks for your email.

The trip was fantastic, really beautiful country, interesting history and culture.

Positives: Well organised; very friendly and helpful guide and driver - Passang was incredibly knowledgable and friendly. Our drivers (Tahndo and Sangay) were both very friendly and drove well. On the last night our guide even organised a special dinner based on our requests. The restaurant even opened especially for us! We felt very special and it was delicious. Every hotel was terrific, the car was maintained in IMMACULATE condition. We were very well tended to. THe hikes were also a highlight

Negatives: Maybe a little repetitive at times - we learnt a lot about Bhudist history, which was great, but at times we had the same story a few times. Buffets - so many buffets! We would've liked to have eaten at a few more 'authentic bhutanese' restaurants, rather than buffets catering for Westerners. I think that's why the last night was so special - it felt a bit more 'real'. One other aspect was it was a bit 'restrictive'. I appreciate that in Bhutan you need a guide, but at times we just wanted a bit more time to ourselves, to walk around freely, check out things at our own pace. The itinerary could be a little 'rigid', and maybe a little more flexibility would be good.

I hope I haven't been too negative - the positives far outweighed the negatives and our guide/drivers were very friendly and helpful. I'm just giving some construction feedback to work on for next time.

And I've got a couple of pictures for you - you've probably got enough of the Tiger's Nest so I went for a few other things! Let me know if you want any more, and please send a link when they're up so we can check them out!

Thanks
