The trip was amazing, the guides were awesome and very accommodating!

That was a really nice trip, organized in a very short time since our decision to travel to Bhutan was quiet spontaneous. But Mr.Ram arranged everything very efficiantly and in a best way. Bhutan is quiet impressive. All but food was perfect to me - their cuisine is not my favorite so that was my personal struggle. Other than that we had a really nice time, with knowledgable and pleasant personal guide and profi private driver who drives gently caring about his passengers. Thank you for the trip!
