I just finished a wonderful 6-day trip with Yak Holidays and would recommend them wholeheartedly. Everything about the week was great. We visited several beautiful sites per day, including monasteries, nunneries, fortresses, museums, mountain passes, and more. The accommodations were very comfortable. The meals were tasty and punctual. And our guides (Milan, Chimi, Sonam) were friendly and did a great job telling us about the history, culture, and religion. They also added in extra things that weren't on the itinerary, like visiting an animal sanctuary to see the national animal, the takin. In particular, I want to thank the team for taking care of me while I wasn't feeling well. Sadly, the altitude was too much for me, so I was unable to visit Tiger's Nest. The team arranged for me to have a traditional hot stone bath at the hotel, and then they added the Dzongdrakha Monastery for me, which is known as the Second Tiger's Nest. It was a great way for me to have a similar sort of experience without the hike that I couldn't do. I hope to return someday and visit the actual Tiger's Nest with the team at Yak Holidays. They did such a great job, and I'm grateful to have been in such good hands. Kadrin Cheyla!

It was all well organized. Sitha who runs the Yak Holidays Int'l agency was attentive and answered all our questions before booking the Bhutan trip. All the places we visited were excellently explained by So Nam (our guide). She also went out of her way to accommodate any and all requests from us with care and kindness. The driver, Som Bir, was also excellent. We really enjoyed the trip! It was definitely worth the money! 

Mr Sithar did a great job as our travel agent. This trip was booked, then rebooked, then covid came, he did all that needed to be done to get our money back from the hotels and others that we had already paid. After covid he booked it all again for us, responded to all my emails promptly with the answers I needed. He also did a great job with last minute changes, as the airline changed the date of the non daily flight, and other unexpected changes that were out of his hands. Our 2 new friends, Chungdu Dorji and Damcho Tshering did a great job. Chungdu, Our guide, has a lot of knowledge of all the history of Bhutan and of all the temples, Monasteries, Dzongs, and other buildings of the country. As well as the religion. We learned very much from him and I especially enjoyed our conversations about religion, Bhutanese society and culture. As well as his sense of humor, with a twinkle in his eyes. Our driver, Damcho, was fantastic, as he drove up and down those million curves of roads, he made us feel very safe. Great driver! And more than a driver, he participated and helped on the hikes, as many times as parking allowed him to. Always friendly and kind. Together with Chungdu they made a great team! Thank you for a memorable trip. We hope to come back again some time. Bhutan Tip: Do not exchange too much foreign currency when arriving in Bhutan ... if you have left over, you cannot change it back!

Spent 7 days and 8 nights in Bhaten late Faburary, arranged by Yak Holidays. Bhaten is a peaceful place with unspoiled countryside. Besides Tiger's Nest, Katsho Gormba and Kila Gompa nunnery are surprisingly memorable. The choices of hotel and the food are excellent even I only chose 3 stars accommodation. Mr Sithar, Ms Sonam and Mr driver and the coordinated effort of all hotel staffs delivered true hospitality. It's a joyful experience from the beginning of booking to the end of the trip. Thank you.

Yak Holidays was a great company to travel with. They were supportive in what we asked for and the guides had lots of knowledge! The only feedback we have, was that when we wanted to change things up in our itinerary, our guide had to receive permission before we could change it. This made us feel like it was a struggle to change our own trip. However, everything worked out and our guide provided great service. Additionally, the hotels were amazing and extremely clean, the staff were so helpful and the food was great! However, the hotels were on the outside of town making it challenging to walk around the city's in the evening and explore or meet other people. Over all though, we were happy with our Yak Holiday experience!

I cannot compliment yak holidays enough. From the get go, Visa process to receiving us from the airport to sending us off, everything was just perfect. They were courteous, available, knowledgeable and provided some interesting stories/ details to the Bhutanese culture and life. Ps: Yak holidays' choice of hotels are just amazing 😉

Twenty years ago I made a trip to the Himalayas. I was dreaming about visiting Bhutan but at that time it was not possible. I am very glad that it became possible in autumn of 2022. The trip, though very short, exceeded my expectations. I am particularly grateful to Sithar of Yak Holidays Int’l for all the support he provided.

My friend and I emailed Yak Holidays for our Bhutan trip and Sithar had been the liaison person. He is very responsive, and tries to assist us in thr best ways possible. He even accommodated to our request when we wanted to watch the festivals, and drafted a new itinerary efficiently. Our flight and all were booked, and we really didn't have to do anything besides sending in our passport details/ photos. When we arrived, our guide (Tashi) and driver (Kishore) were waiting for us outside the arrival hall. Kishore was very akillful with his driving skills, navigating through the long, winding roads, and went slow because one of us was having motion sickness. Tashi was also very thoughtful, brought us for short hiking trips so that we can acclimatize to the altitude in preparation for the hike to Tiger's Nest. Bhutanese we meet throughout the trip were very friendly, always welcoming us with a smile! We never went hungry because they really feed us with a lot of (good) food. Hotel stays were alright. The rooms were very nice and big. Basic amenities are there. Food was good for some of them. One or two hotel rooms were a bit cold, as the room is huge with only one heater. You can always ask for extra heater, just that we didn't. Overall, the 7D6N trip was really unforgettable! Recommend to travel with Yak Holidays as they are really very responsive, and accommodating.

Just got back from Bhutan with Yak Holidays. During the initial planning , we approached a few other tour operators before deciding to go with Yak. Throughout the whole planning process, we found Mr Sithar easy to work with and also very accommodating. .Always very prompt to reply to my emails and questions and that did make us feel at ease. From the minute we landed in Paro, we were taken good care of by Lal(guide) and Nima (driver).Lal was very informative, patiently sharing his knowledge of his country, culture and history ofall the places we visited. We even get the chance to visit a local market in Thimphu.Nima was a good driver and we felt safe with him behind the wheels especially in some parts of the roads which were quite challenging. We had a great time in Bhutan and it was very nice of Sithar to meet us in person. Thanks to Sithar and his team for making the trip to their amazing and beautiful country very memorable.

My trip to Bhutan with Yak holidays was very pleasant from the very beginning to the end. I have nothing but praise for Mr Sithar and his team. The driver and the guide who were with me were highly knowledgeable. In the near future if anyone decides to travel to Bhutan I would highly recommended Yak Holidays Int'l.

Yak Holidays Int'l arranged a 15 day tour for me as a solo traveller. I cannot say enough about the extremely high level of service they provided me from the moment I arrived at Paro to my departure. I can only thank Mr Sithar Tamang for the excellent service and flexible itinerary he provided me, with quick and courteous answers and was constantly in touch with me. I would also like to thank Mr Tashi (driver) and Mr Jigyme (guide) for keeping me safe and as well as entertained throughout the entire 15 days I was in Bhutan both the guide and the driver had immense knowledge about the history and culture of Bhutan. Overall my Bhutan trip was amazing and all thanks to the team of Yaks Holidays Int'l and can't wait to explore more of Bhutan soon for eastern bhutan tour.

My husband and I spent 6 days travelling in beautiful Bhutan with Yak Holidays Int'l. The scenery was breathtaking, the history fascinating and the people were warm and welcoming. Our guide, Milan and our driver, Tashi took very good care of us. Milan had immense knowledge regarding the history and culture of his beautiful country and shared it with great pride. Tashi was an excellent driver and negotiated those challenging roads with grace, patience and expert skill. We felt very safe and cared for in the hands of Milan and Tashi at all times. We celebrated our 30th anniversary while in Bhutan and Milan took the time to inform our hotel of this. The hotel decorated our room for the occasion and had a special table set up for us at dinner at Milan's request. My husband became ill the night before our hike up to Tiger's Nest so regrettably we had to postpone this adventure for another time. The staff at the Himalayans Keys Forest Resort were very kind and caring. They continually checked in on us and made my husband homemade soup to assist with his recovery. Milan and Tashi took me to town to do some shopping and a little exploring. I highly recommend Yak Holidays when visiting beautiful Bhutan. Milan and Tashi made the trip memorable! Thank you to you both!!!

Yak Holidays is extremely responsive and worked with me to make the perfect itinerary for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Bhutan. Our guide Jigme was very flexible in ensuring we got to see (and eat!) everything we wanted to during our trip, and our driver Yota did a great job in chauffeuring us across the country. Would highly recommend Yak Holidays to anyone looking to travel to Bhutan.
