Bhutan holidays

Memorable parts? It is a hard question as the whole holiday was very memorable. The Tiger Nest walk, the Gangtey Valley, the Lika Monastery as well as the Wangditse Gompa were the places we liked the most Tips? I would tell them that Bhutan is much more touristic than what I thought but, despite that it manages to remain unspoilt and very spontaneous. Being more touristic also means very well organized and with very good hotels. Local benefits? Yes, I think so Overall... (more)Ludovica Cavallari

Memorable parts? Bhutan was a wonderful destination to visit. This beautiful mountainous country had picture postcard views almost everywhere one looked. The local people are friendly, the Dzongs are amazing and located in fantastic positions. The festival we saw was brilliant with highly colourful costumes and masks. Our visit to one monastery was special as only our group had the chance to just listen to the chanting monks with their drums and horns. Although this country is starting to... (more)Daniel Collings

My holiday was amazing the guides were so helpful and made my experience wonderful. The most memorable part of my holiday was the beautiful scenery on the treks in Bhutan and Nepal and the 51 metre Buddha high on a mountain in Thimpu is impressive and inspiring. (more)michele allix

I really enjoyed my trip and feel that travelling from Nepal allowed an excellent opportunity to visit two - so different - places. I really enjoyed both counties. In Bhutan, Punakha was a favourite place for me as it's a little more rural and remote. (more)Julia Rosenbaum

The flight to and from Bhutan, the views of Mount Everest and the Himalayan range is as impressive as the landing at Paro airport. Excellent tour guide and driver, exceptional hotels, very friendly people in an incredibly beautiful country. (more)Nicholas McHugh

The scenery was overwhelming, giving the feeling of being on top of the world. The forested mountains seemed to go on forever. The highlight had to be the hike up to the Tiger's Nest, an amazing experience. (more)Patricia Lawrence

Climbing up to the Tiger's Nest on our last full day in Bhutan WAS pretty great - but I think my prize goes to seeing big pink orchids growing on the side of the road - and having the leisure to go photograph them, thanks to our wonderful driver. (more)Julie Puttgen

Watching the sun go down on Everest on the most perfect evening. Celebrating Diwali with the locals were the most memorable parts of the holiday (more)Rosemary Chinchen

The holiday was exceedingly good... I would say that we were very well looked after, the tour companies in Nepal and Tibet went out of their way to ensure that we had a good time. I would definitely recommend the Tour Company and the holiday. (more)Chris Wells

Memorable parts? My holiday was on the whole just great. Anyway a plus was definitely constituted by the festival in Bhutan, which was not included in the tour but happened to take place just when I was there and the guide was ready to change the plan and fit it in. Tips? Get Lonely Planet before leaving: it gives very useful information and can also help you find something extra to enrich the programme. Local benefits? Considering the price of it, especially as regards Bhutan,... (more)Laura Palmucci

Excellent; loved the Buddhist culture of peace and tranquillity and want to bring it home with me! (more)Vicky Unwin

Memorable parts? Lots. The friendly people who seemed enjoyed to have their photo's taken. The scenery, the hundreds of prayer flags. As we trekked at high altitude, the many people we met driving horses, cows & yaks. But the best experience was caused by a mistake. On one night of the trek we lost our horses & luggage! Our clean socks & toothbrush went one way & we went another. Our guide rescued the situation by arranging us to stay in a yak-herders hut. The family very kindly took... (more)Alan Reimer

Excellent! The most memorable parts of the holiday - the sheer variety of places visited, the warmness of the reception everywhere across Bangladesh, the poignancy of many of the images across the three countries, the expanse of the scenery, the devotion of the people to their religions.
