        Beautiful Bhutan
        Bhutan has so much to offer: breathtaking scenery, peaceful monasteries/temples, beautiful fortresses, friendliest people, history, and unique food. World Tour Plan makes your time in and traverse through Bhutan seamless. They were very responsive to questions before and after booking. They accommodated special requests such as visiting a festival or stops not listed in the itinerary. The nine day itinerary in Bhutan was perfectly planned and I truly enjoyed each and every site visited. Namgay, guide, and Yeshi, driver, were wonderful. They took care of us like family and always made sure we were well taken care of. My time in Bhutan was magical and relaxing and World Tour Plan’s expert planning, Namgay, and Yeshi ensured I had that full experience. Highly recommend!

        Amazing trip on the Kingdom in the Clouds-Walking Holidays
        We loved our tour; Kingdom in the Clouds-Walking Holidays with World Tour Plan. Our private guide & driver, Singgay & Nyamgay, were exceptional. They were knowledgeable, friendly and fun to spend time with. They were also flexible with our plans. It was nice to spend as much or as little time as we wanted at sites and they were quick to come up with alternatives when the weather changed or we got behind in the schedule. They even switched hotels at the last minute when they found out the hotel did not give us the view rooms they had requested. We enjoyed hiking 8 out of the 11 days instead of spending time in a bus or driving through the country. The tour also includes glamping above Tiger's Nest. Hiking down to Tiger's Nest gave us a unique view of the temples. It also meant we did not have to hike up to Tiger's Nest with the hoards of tourists. Instead we had a peaceful walk through the woods and past small monasteries on the way to Tiger's Nest. I can't recommend this tour & tour company enough.

        Best tour of Bhutan
        The wonderful days in Bhutan became unforgettable memories. A lush forest covered in greenery, warm smiles of people, leisurely relaxed dogs, cows and horses made me feel happy too. This meaningful journey was made possible by great assistance of WORLD TOUR PLAN, especially by my knowledgeable and friendly guide Singye and skilled and kind driver Namgay. Thank you for everything, WORLD TOUR PLAN!

        Peace against the world kind of an experience in Bhutan 🫶🏻
        For sure Bhutan is one of my favourite country, The sceneries in Bhutan is splendid , with greens, peace and culturally rooted places. I have come across the most amazing and humble people in Bhutan who made me feel so welcomed and it’s quite clean and preety safe for a solo travelers . I really enjoyed the taksang trekking and the amazing view of phunaka valley. The architecture are so unique and one of a kind. And this was all possible because of the @worldtourplan , who made my stay enjoyable. Also I had my stay at numinous hotel, since the day I arrived the staff hospitality had my attention and I really appreciate it , the hotel is pretty hygienic and the food is far better than other 5 stars hotel.

        Amazing Trip
        Their marketing team was by far the most punctual compared to others that I contacted. They were willing to work with me on customizing the tour for my needs. The tour guide and the driver combo was amazing. They accommodated every single request that I had during the 7 day private tour. I highly recommend their company.

        Fantastic experience and brilliant organisation and help from the team at World Tour Plan. 6 days gives you enough time to see the important temples, as well as fit in a two day hike in the area above the Tiger's Nest. Our guide Singke was wonderful - knowledgeable, fun, great English, and good company throughout. Highly recommend it.

        Bhutan, at long last!
        Thanks to John’s World Tour Plan nudge and the recent Bollywood buzz, the Land of the Thunder Dragon finally called my name. After years on my bucket list, I embarked on a solo adventure, armed with a fantastic customized itinerary and, surprisingly, a female guide and driver . Thank you, Mr. Karma. From the serene Sitting Buddha to the vibrant vegetable market, each stop was a tapestry woven with breathtaking landscapes, rich culture, and genuine smiles. The highlight, of course, was Tiger's Nest, perched precariously on a cliffside like a dream come true. This solo journey has left me with a treasure chest of memories and a yearning to return, next time with family, to delve deeper into Bhutan's magic. So, until next time, see you !

        A magical way to explore Bhutan
        World Tour Plan is willing to go above and beyond by customizing a tour of Bhutan that meets your needs. I appreciate their responsiveness to my initial inquiry, quick turnaround of the visa, and willingness to change the itinerary. I would recommend booking with them and would do so again. I was ill at one point and I appreciate their concern with my well being via message. I would say the only drawback is the proprietor of these tours is removed from the process. Save for an introductory phone call to take payment, they were essentially done with the tour once I was connected with my tour guide. This is more of a middle man operation, I prefer to work directly with the tour guides if possible.

        Breathtaking scenery and amazing service
        I did a solo 10-day tour. I was met by the guide Singye and the driver, Dorji at the airport and we ended up having a fantastic time. I had requested more hiking than what was offered on the multi-city itinerary and Singye happily obliged. He was an excellent guide who has a vast knowledge of his country, particularly the nature. He ensured the pace was appropriate and was always helpful. I got tonsillitis and they took me to hospital and sorted out the medication which allowed me to miss very little of the itinerary. Each of the hotels were situated at the best locations with amazing views. I'm not usually in any 'star' hotel as my style is extreme budget but this was a lovely treat. It was an unforgettable once on a lifetime trip and I'm so happy World Tour Plan helped this come to fruition. I highly recommend the company and would love to return fjr some trekking and camping.

        Simply the Best!
        I participated in the Best of Bhutan tour by World Tour Plan with a one day add on. I have visited 165 countries and have looked forward to visiting Bhutan and was not disappointed. It was a beautiful country, my favorite so far, and the itinerary was excellent as were the selected hotels. Most significantly, my guide, Tenzin, and my driver were superb. Their English was excellent and they were fun, flexible and knowledgeable. I can not recommend them more highly.

        Great three-day experience in Bhutan!
        Wonderful experience!! I only spent three days traveling solo in Bhutan but it was so much worth it! The places and sights I wanted to visit and see, from Tashichho Dzong to Paro Takstang and even more were all squeezed in such a short period despite the distance of locations! My highly knowledgeable tour guide Mr. Tashi Norbu and the careful driver were very friendly. Food at the selected restaurants and hotels was great, though I hope to have a bigger stomach so I could have finished all the very hefty servings! The staff at the hotels where I stayed were very accommodating. Rooms were very clean and tidy too. I wish I could have stayed longer, but it just means I'll be coming back! Thank you World Tour Plan for a well-arranged private tour!

        worthwhile
        This tour package was worth it. The beautiful mountains and valleys were so beautiful. The hiking was one of the best thing i did in Bhutan. The welcome hospitality by the guide and the driver was very welcoming. Moreover they were very patient and knowledgeable. The arrangements were done professionally and all were up to the expectation. The historic monastery, temples were so rich in history and i liked very moment spent in Bhutan. i would surely visit again and recommend World tour Plan to be your next holiday planner.

      What a great stay it was! Me and my family we reached back from the trip and i cant imagine how beautiful the stay was. We were warmly welcomed by the guide at the airport. The guide and the driver was very humble. since the beginning of the trip it went as planned in the itinerary. The drive from the airport to the capital was very soothing to eyes, we visited Paro, Thimphu, phunakha, phobjika valley too and the experience was breath taking. The people and the places are so rooted to their culture and tradition. The places were very neat and clean, the food was something we looked forward to and it lived up to the expectation. since the tour was for 13 days and Luckily Thimphu Tshechu was being held when we were in capital SO we wanted to extent our stay for 3 more days to attend the festival and the tour operator did all the necessary arrangements in the nick of time. the festival was colorful and meaningful. sadly the stay had to end but the memories me and my family made there will always be cherished i am so very satisfied with the services rendered by World tour plan and would definitely recommend them if you are planning to visit Bhutan. Its a great place for travel gateway with family and friends.
      Thank you world tour plan for making this trip a success.

      I had a very pleasant 13 days tour in Bhutan with WORLD TOUR PLAN. It was very organized and had a thorough itinerary with professional management. The guide was insightful ( fooding, lodging , good communication skills, etc) and a great companion. I had, luscious Bhutanese food at various restaurant. I
      was in tuned with the nature and the cultural sights that Bhutan had to offer....The night life was very lively and peaceful. I had a great experience and it was a blissful getaway from my busy schedule; thanks to this company. Therefore, i would like to recommend my fellow travelers, aspiring to visit Bhutan to grab the package offered by WTP without a second thought!!
      Anyhow, I am looking forward for my second visit.

      We are just back from 12 days tour. We had an amazing experience in Bhutan. Everything was well organized. Guide and driver were professional.
      Suggestions: If you are visiting Bhutan , make sure you ask your guide to take you to different restaurant. Some time you can try Bhutanese food, some times Indian food and Nepali food.it is advisable to try different cuisine as we get other food as good as Bhutanese food in Bhutan.
      Thank you World Tour Plan, we would love to visit again.

      After waiting for more than three years, I finally did it. I visited Bhutan again. This time I stayed for longer days. This trip was customized one of 15 days .I stayed mostly in farm house and I did lots of hiking . My favorite hike among all is taktshang hike and phobjikha hike. What more you need when you are provided with good car and an experience guide. Enough to make best of memories. I was lucky this time about food. I was serve alacarte. Thanks to the owner for looking into it. My menu wasn't repetitive unlike previous visit.I will visit again next year with my family. Until then see you. Thank you for your great hospitality. Namaste 🙏

      To visit Bhutan was a long awaited wish come true. It was indeed the best holiday therapy form my busy lifestyle.The best thing i did on tour was witnessing the people of Bhutan and experiencing "Gross National Happiness "for real , in the world where GDP is overruling their country Bhutan was unlike them.The simplicity of people i came across and the way they are grounded to their cultural roots were fascinating. During my stay i got to connect with nature and it was mesmerizing to see one of the endangered bird species " Black necked Crane" in Phobjikha .isn't it wonderful?
      to talk about the food there chilies are dominant and the local dish i was offered was "ema datshi" and there were some other dried meat dishes too and i would say my tongue was delighted . It was a great experience to mender along the valleys of Paro, Thimphu and Punakhka. Everything(hotels food places i wanted to see) was on mark.
      Thank you World Tour Plan for making my best tour in Bhutan.Would surely visit second time. Highly recommendable!

      We had a seamless journey from Kolkotta to Paro, everything was well taken care by World Tour Plan,Mr. Karma.
      The guide and the driver was professional. We had the most flexible tour with lots of addon services were most of the services were free.
      Hotel were neat and food was amazing. We got to taste many indian foods, bhutanese food and we also participated in cooking class.
      The walk to Bumdra and taktshang was above and beyond.
      This tour is highly recommended to 20- 65 age group travellers .
      If you are a hiker, cultural lover, foodie,then this tour is for you.
      You can go for this Tour without having second thoughts . This tour is a perfect blend of all the above.
      So go for it.
