What our clients say
Bhutan is amazing and loved the culture, the slow pace, and Tigers Nest was the highlight, hotels were not very fancy but gave us the homely feeling, the food, and the trek was superb. We had 4 days of Dagala treks that started from Thimphu alongside the view of a beautiful high altitude lake. The trek was easy and short but there were some steep climbs that were a little difficult. Bhutan travel center had planned well the itinerary for us and we were very happy with their service. We would highly recommend the Bhutan to fellow travelers.
