Bhutan holiday

How this holiday makes a difference

All travel to Bhutan is carefully controlled by the Bhutan Tourist Association in order to ensure the protection of Bhutan’s unique culture and minimize the impact of tourism on the lives of the people whilst ensuring that they benefit from the revenue tourism brings to the country.

All our itineraries in Bhutan are operated by a privately owned Bhutanese agency, using licensed local guides and drivers. Groups and individuals may make donations to a privately owned and operated orphanage in Thimphu - assistance with providing school uniforms is always appreciated. Providing notice is given, visits to the orphanage are both possible and greatly enjoyed by children and teachers alike. In Eastern Bhutan we offer support to a school for the Blind and whilst few travelers venture that far, it is possible to contribute through our local agent.

As a wholly Nepalese owned and managed company, we are inviting tourists into our home. As such we want them to gain as much as possible from the stunning natural environment and the immense cultural wealth of the Himalayan region. We are also very conscious of the impact that mass tourism can have on the environment and the negative impacts that this can have on small communities, whilst appreciating the social and economic benefits that tourism can bring.

Reviewed 09 Oct 2008 by Terry Boucher4 star rating

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


The climb to Tiger's Nest and the amazing view of the spectacular monastery.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


The homestay is a very worthwhile experience in order to understand the life of the Bhutanese. It is also a great way to try Bhutanese cuisine although this is a little daunting due to the chillies... Be sure to bring flashlights and earplugs. Wonderful hiking experiences available even if you are not on a treking trip. Be sure to request this of your guide if you are interested. We added an extra day in Kathmandu thinking we could take a day trip out of the city for a day. Due to a general strike, however, we could not leave the Thamel area which was frustrating. So, 2 days in Kathmandu is enough.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Yes. Obviously we spent money in the country which will help the developing tourist industry. We greatly respect the way the Bhutan government and people value their way of life and environment and tried to do our part to maintain this.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


It was a very successful and enjoyable holiday. We have already recommended it to several other people.
