Excellent one stop services for the Bhutan's trip and I never regretted choosing to go with Druk Asia. The 7D6N trip have given me and my wife an understanding of the rich Buddhist culture and lifestyle of Bhutan.
From the pick up at Paro International Airport on the first day to the sending off on the last day by the Guide and Driver were seamlessly perfect. The hotels are great but the free WIFI have rooms for improvement for the 3 stars hotel/resort that we had stayed in.
Every meal is fantastic especially the vegetable dishes.
The climb to Tiger's nest was most memorable especially when rookies like us were struggling to climb up the path and you see elderly locals walked past us effortlessly.
Definitely will go to Bhutan again with Druk Asia!

It is quite regrettable to learn that my elder daughter is among the least travelled within her peer group. In January this year I made her a proposition to visit Bhutan together after finishing her 'O' Levels examination in December and at that time Bhutan is merely an unfamiliar geographical term to her. Choosing Bhutan is to let her have a unique travelling experience different from the mainstream in addition to learn the Bhutanese way of being the happiest people in the world.
We started falling in love at first sight with the beautiful landscape and architecture out of the aircraft window before the landing when the plane flew within a very close distance to the mountain range, puzzling if we were in Kolkata but finally learned that we have arrived about an hour ahead

We had a wonderful and magical time in Bhutan. You have an amazing country and we left in awe.
About the trip - we feel privileged to have been amongst the few travellers to have visited Bhutan.
The itinerary was fine, as per what was described in your travel notes. So we were well prepared. We were lucky to have encountered National Day and saw some of the festivities. We also enjoyed the traditional festival (sorry forgot the name for that). I think besides the amazing scenery, the other most interesting aspect of the tour is understanding the culture of Bhutan.
For this, the guide plays a very important role. He/She is almost the only touchpoint we have to understanding the culture better. We felt Kunzang was good with children and willing to be patient with them. Perhaps she could

I had a fantastic time in Bhutan and enjoyed every minute.
My dedicated guide Ms Tashi Dema and my driver Dorji Dago were excellent in every way and very professional.
I would like to thank them from the bottom of my heart. The new Hyundai Santa Fe car 2200 cc was excellent with good road holding. Im glad i went alone and did not join the tour because it gave me more flexibility.
Will certainly return to Bhutan in April.

Kuzuzangpo La,
Thank you for the time in organizing our trip and answering our queries patiently.
Our visit to Bhutan took our breath away. Not by the air of the altitude but by the clear blue skies, the carefully preserved mountains, the richness of the culture that is deeply build on Buddhism and the warm service rendered during our stay.
The experience would not have been possible without our guide, Kuenzang Tshering and our skillful driver Passang. Passang's driving made us feel safe as the mountainous hairpin curve leads to another, to another, and to another. Kinza, our guide is highly knowledgeable about Bhutan's history & Buddhism. He exemplifies the practise of the religion which makes our understanding of the country beyond the superficial level.

It has been a few days since I was back at work, and I can't help but miss the days when I was in Bhutan. I miss the beautiful valleys, the mythical mountains, the clear rivers and most importantly, the kind people whom I've met during my short stay in Bhutan. Guess I left a piece of my heart in Bhutan.
Kinley went out of his way to make us feel at home, acceded to our various requests and even volunteered to carry our heavy bags up tiger's nest because it was clear to him that we were all tired from the climb. It did not feel like Kinley was there with us merely as a guide doing his job. It felt like he was a friend showing us his beautiful home. We also want to thank our driver (I think he is called Chillie - not sure how to spell) who really tried to make our rides as smooth and

Hi Sonam,
Hope you are well and enjoyed your travel back home (Bhutan).
Serene and myself thoroughly enjoyed Bhutan. This was especially so because we decided to travel with Druk Asia. Joni, Ugyen, Diwash and yourself made this trip possible by accommodating with our change of dates due to my grandma's passing.
When we decide to return to Bhutan, it will be with your company.
Thanks again.

Dear Sonam,
We had a fantastic trip to Bhutan. We were very fortunate to have great weather for our entire stay.
The flights in and out of Bhutan were great: food was good and the crew very friendly (they even allowed my wife and I to join our kids in Business Class during the last stretch).
We have provided a completed feedback form to Nim - our guide. Unfortunately, our original guide (Bull) was feeling unwell after our first day. We had Nim as a replacement for the remaining period. Nim was good: interacted well with our children, provided good information during our visits to the various sites, and was punctual and pleasant. His English was not as good as Bull's, but it was more than sufficient. Our driver, Karma, was excellent. Despite the difficult roads, he drove with confidence

Dear Sonam,
Kuzuzangpo La! Hope this email finds you in good health too.
This trip was a fruitful trip for my friend and I. As you know, besides sightseeing (mainly in Trashigang, first visit to this part of Bhutan), there were visits to the schools and families we had identified to help. We had achieved 80% of what we set out to do. The rough terrain as well as the long rides from one destination to the next which we had to "endure" was worth and the "chance sighting" of the 4th king; Druk Gyalpo Jigme Singye Wangchuck on 17 Dec14 (national day of Bhutan!) made this trip even more rewarding. We also saw the black-necked crane in close range.

Hi Sonam,
Kusuzanpo La!
Yes we enjoyed our trip very much, is awesome! Especially at the colorful Dochu La Festival and the unexpected snow on our way up to the Tiger Nest Monastery. The only regret was that we were slow and unable to make it up to the Tiger Nest Monastery. We rested at the cafeteria when the snow was getting thicker and our guide Tshering suggested we turned back as it was too dangerous to carry on. Not too bad, some of our fellow tour mates who had made it shared their photos with us.
