Our first trip to Bhutan had been nothing less than an awesome experience. Warmly welcomed by the assigned guide Tshering Norbu, and driver Sampa, they partnered well and took real good care of my family throughout. Kind, attentive and always on the lookout for us during the trip was heartening. Norbu exercised flexibility in the itinerary, tweaked to better accomodate our speed and energy levels at different times. These made our experience extra pleasant. Special mention to Norbu to accomodate my younger son's frequent requests to play soccer when each day ended. A reason why both built a close relationship. We truly felt as if Norbu and Sampa are members of our own family at the end of trip such that we parted ways clearly emotionally on the morning of the departure. Will highly recommend Bhutan Travelers as well as Norbu and Sampa to take care of your intinerary.

We had an unforgettable experience in Bhutan and cherished every moment of our trip. We planned our visit to coincide with the Thimphu Tshechu and were fortunate to attend two out of the three days of this vibrant festival. A helpful tip: the dances performed during the Tshechu vary each day, so if your primary reason for visiting Bhutan is to experience this festival, make sure to attend at least two days to fully appreciate it.
We started planning our trip about four months in advance. With so many tour companies to choose from, we ultimately selected Bhutan travelers through a mix of research and a bit of luck. After comparing several options, this company offered the best deal, and we have no regrets! The guide and driver were incredibly helpful and accommodating. They stayed with us throughout the trip but also gave us the freedom to explore towns on our own whenever we requested it.
One highlight of our trip was spending a night at a homestay. It was a wonderful experience! Bhutanese food is generally very spicy, but knowing our preferences, the hosts prepared a milder version, which was both delicious and thoughtful.
In addition to the Thimphu Tshechu, our guide went above and beyond by taking us to a smaller town’s Tshechu that wasn’t part of our itinerary. This unexpected detour was a pleasant surprise and added depth to our cultural experience.
The hotels we stayed at were much more luxurious than what we usually opt for as budget travelers, but it seems this is the standard for international visitors to Bhutan. While we appreciated the comfort, we wouldn’t have minded simpler accommodations or more homestay options for a more local experience.
On our final night, the owner of the Bhutan travelers joined us for dinner. It was a lovely gesture and gave us an opportunity to connect on a more personal level.
Overall, our visit to Bhutan was a magical experience, filled with beautiful memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. We highly recommend this destination and the Bhutan travelers.

This is my second time in Bhutan and with Bhutan Travelers. Where do I begin, 5 years ago I came for the first time to Bhutan and the itinerary Bhutan Travelers had crafted for us was amazing. It included a 5 day trek, everything fell in place and I fell in love with the country.
This time around, I organized another trip in which I brought 6 friends with me. Once again, a 5 day trek was included at my request and the Black Crane Festival. Our itinerary was completed to perfection. In the group, there were travelers that had never come this far from home and were lucky to have one of the best travel experiences in their lives.
I requested for our guide to be Chencho, as I had met him 5 years ago on my first time to Bhutan. Chencho is a fountain of information regarding everything about Bhutan. Lots of fun on the trek, meeting fascinating local people, experiencing wonderful hospitality and everything the country has to offer. We have thousands of pictures captivating beautiful landscapes. A true awesome travel adventure!
This time around I got to meet the owners of the company and spent sometime over dinner chatting with them. Amazing peeps with years of experience in crafting trips around their country and making sure the groups of foreigners that visit get to experience and are well taken care of.
If you want professionalism and for a company to take very seriously to make sure your trip is enjoyable, use Bhutan Travelers. I highly recommend them and will use their services once again in the near future.

This was my second time visiting Bhutan. Both times I traveled with Bhutan Travelers and I cannot recommend working with Karma and his team of friendly guides and drivers enough! As a solo female traveler I felt at ease every step of the way. Always feeling looked after and cared for. I was able to create an itinerary that suited my needs and desires. I was interested in incense making, textiles, cultural festivals and nature treks. I spent wonderful nights under the stars and with so many kind people. It was fun exploring such a rich culture. I highly recommend traveling with Bhutan Travelers!! Don’t hesitate! It’s a trip of a lifetime!

Visiting Bhutan was an amazing experience. The country and the Dzongs are a feast for the senses. Our guide, Yeshey, and driver, Kencho, were the best. They were fun, knowledgeable, and professional. We really enjoyed their company and their guidance.
The country is absolutely beautiful. I especially enjoyed the hikes that we did. I feel very privileged to have hiked to the Tiger’s Nest. It was a beautiful hike and the monastery was incredible.
We were so impressed with the kindness and friendliness of the people. Everyone we met was so helpful and kind.
I loved this tour and felt we learned so much about the country, the religion, and the people. Bhutan will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you Bhutan Travelers and especially Dechen, Yeshey and Kencho. This was a trip of a lifetime!!

We did a 6 day/5 night trip with Bhutan Travelers. The booking agent was quick to respond and very helpful. Our guide, Rinzin, and driver, Gelle, were also excellent and very professional throughout the trip. They eagerly shared their knowledge about the sites, as well as insights into the spirituality and customs of Bhutan. The itinerary was very well planned and not too packed, allowing us to see important sites without feeling rushed. Bhutan Travelers also provided a very comfortable car and excellent accommodations with all meals included. Despite there being a required daily cost for tourism to Bhutan, the cost is worthwhile for everything to be included. This was a wonderful trip and I highly recommend travelling there with Bhutan Travelers!

We just completed our 5-nights-6-days tour through Bhutan with the customary stops. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Pema, our guide, and Nima, our driver. Both young men were wonderful. Knowledgeable, polite, punctual, and had a good sense of humor. Many linguistic misunderstandings lead to healthy laughter and a pleasant time. My German accent, my husband´s New York accent, mixed with Bhutan-accent.. it was great. We enjoyed learning a lot about Bhutan Buddhism and the history of the country. Everything was great, except the cold insides of the hotels and restaurants. Since heating is not ubiquious and only done with some electric heaters, we were forced to keep our ski jackets on inside and felt frozen at times. It might be better to travel in the spring or fall, we are told. Other than that, it was a great experience and we wish to thank Karma, the agency owner, for responding to our many pre-trip questions and we want to thank Pema and Nima for making our 5 days with them so comfortable and fun. Learning does not have to be dead serious!

We had a fabulous and well organised tour by Bhutan Travelers. The previous comunication was very quick and helpful (thanks Dechen). The itinerary very well organised giving us time for ourselfs. The accomodation and meals were very good. A special thanks for our guide Thinley and to our driver Kinga they were absolutely fabulous, always caring of our needs and interests, with a high level of knowledge about Bhutan. I strongly recomend Bhutan Travelers.
