My wife and I were looking at various honeymoon destinations off the beaten path and Bhutan fit the bill! Our next... biggest decision was to choose the right tour group since there were so many to choose from. We decided to choose Heavenly Bhutan Travels because of the great reviews. Mr. Shiva, the General Manager, and Mr. Raju, the CEO, were our points of contact throughout registration/planning process. They were very responsive to our emails and worked with us on creating the perfect itinerary for our 6-night trip. Once we arrived, the baton was handed over to our tour guide, Mr. Sangjay, and driver/land pilot, Mr. Ram. The transition was seamless and we couldn't have asked for a better pairing. They were very courteous and had a wealth of knowledge on the various sites we visited. They definitely went above and beyond for us and we couldn't have asked for a better honeymoon. I highly recommend visiting Bhutan sooner rather later, before it gets modernized by western culture. I also highly recommend Heavenly Bhutan Travels without reservation, and definitely ask for Mr. Sangjay and Mr. Ram to be your guide and pilot, respectively!read more

I just had an amazing trip of Bhutan that was in partnership of my Travel agency PickYourTrail with Heavenly Bhutan... Travels in Bhutan. I must say, I had an amazing trip! I am very thankful to the whole HBT team especially to my awesome Tourist Guide (Mr. Kelzang) and the Car Driver (Mr.Nima) who helped in the great execution of the whole trip itinerary. Mr. Kelzang also helped me with the Immigration formalities and a Bhutanese mobile SIM card :) From the beginning of my trip till the last day, I was often contacted by other staffs of HBT (Raju and Menuka) to know if I was having a good trip. Everyday the trip began at the scheduled time. The car that I was travelling in (Hyundai Creta - Red) :) was always kept tidy. The car drive was very safe in the mountains and amidst of fog! The trip was well planned in terms of the logistics and I always had ample time to look around various places, eat Bhutanese food and rest. The car travel was always fun as Mr. Nima and Mr. Kelzang often sang Bhutanese songs and cracked jokes and also shared the culture and traditions of Bhutan. At many instances I felt the pride that my Mr. Kelzang and Mr. Nima had, to be a Bhutanese. They were very proud of Bhutan, their culture, traditions, their King and the Queen and of course Heavenly Bhutan Travels! :) This was something that I felt very good about. They often suggested the best way I could enjoy the day’s itinerary too. Mr. Kelzang often answered all my curious questions that I often had regarding the culture of Bhutan. To make the tourists feel the vibes of the New Year 2020, there was a well-thought celebration by HBT at Paro on the New Year’s Eve with tourists, HBT staff, Bhutanese cultural programme, bonfire, cake-cutting ceremony, lots of drinks and food. It was a night spent well with Mr. Kelzang and few others singing us Karaoke songs. I felt like a Bhutanese here! :) The whole trip was very safe and definitely had warmth and a personal touch to it. I was travelling solo, but never felt so. All thanks to Mr. Kelzang and Mr. Nima who are extremely good companions to the visitors. And as we know, of the companion is right, everything seems great! :) I wish them a very Good Luck for their future, especially to Mr. Kelzang whom I can definitely foresee to be one of the best Tourist Guides in the country! I would love to travel with HBT again and would highly recommend them! Cheers!read more

Our trip to Bhutan in Dec 2019 was very pleasant, thanks to great planning and execution by Heavenly Bhutan Travels!... The choice of hotels, travel and food arrangements were great. Ms Menuka at their travel office answered my several pre-trip/planning questions and helped me come up with an itinerary per our group’s interests and preferences. I had some last minute changes to my travel plans due to a family emergency and she worked with me on accommodating the changes, all the while communicating promptly and professionally. Mr Ram and Mr Passang, our guide and driver made our trip memorable. Mr Ram is very knowledgeable and loves to share his knowledge enthusiastically. He’s got a great sense of humor too! He quickly learned our interests and kept our itinerary flexible to accommodate them. I traveled with my 67 year old mother and he took care of us like family. Everyday he made sure he provided us with our daily itinerary and offered alternatives wherever possible to further suit our interests and fitness levels, so we could enjoy more. In one of the hotels we stayed at, the kitchen staff had some confusion over our meal request (they prepared Asian vegetarian instead of our Indian vegetarian meal request). Mr Ram went over and beyond his duty by actually assisting the kitchen staff to prepare our meal for us!! He's also a talented photographer and captured some great memories for us to take back home :). It was evident that he genuinely and passionately loves to serve his guests. And thanks to Mr Passang’s expert driving on the narrow, bending mountain roads, we could relax and enjoy the scenic views outside. Heartfelt thanks to the three of you, especially Mr Ram, for making our trip so comfortable and fun. You are great ambassadors for your country. Highly recommend Heavenly Bhutan Travels to anyone planning a visit!!read more

The tour of Bhutan was amazing. My husband and I did a one week trip in December. Correspondence with Shiva was easy... and we received clear instructions before our trip. Although the itinerary for a one week trip in Bhutan was pretty standard, Heavenly Bhutan catered it to our preference and some were even customized on the fly. (We asked for an introduction to Bhutan and to include daily hikes). The farmstay they chose for us at Pobjikha was great, authentic and with a very nice family. We got the opportunity to see how they really live and tasted good home cooking. Even though it was -10C that evening, our hosts and our guides made sure we were comfortable. Our guide - Dhana - was very friendly and helpful. We wanted to try more local food and he tried his best to ensure the hotel restaurants accommodated our requests. He also brought us to a nice authentic local restaurant for momos for lunch once. Dhana also seems to know many good viewing spots.. occasionally we would get to a popular picture taking spot full of other tourists but Dhana would guide us to another section with just as good a view but with less crowd. Nima our driver was friendly, sympathetic and was just simply a very nice person. He knew I could get car sick and drove very carefully along the long windy mountain roads and not once did I feel uncomfortable. Whenever Nima spotted wild animals along the way, he would point them out to us and stopped for us to take pictures. All-in-all, it was wonderful experience, and we would definitely recommend using Heavenly Bhutan, and / or with Dhana as the guide and Nima as the driver.read more

Our Bhutan holiday was a long pending one. This year, in November, we flew past the magnificent Himalayan mountain... range and landed in the Land of the Thunder Dragon. At Paro, we were greeted and welcomed by our ever smiling, friendly guide Tenzin and driver Nima. Tenzin had the information and he quoted anecdotes regarding all the places we visited. He had answers to our queries regarding all the monuments we visited.. in Paro, Thimpu and Punakha. He was so passionate about his country and enthusiastic to tell us all about their customs and beliefs. Nima our driver, NEVER broke any traffic rules. He has been one of the safest drivers we have ever had in all our travels. Tenzin definitely made the trek up to Tigers Nest less tiring with his motivational skills. This holiday of ours was very memorable and Tenzin and Nima from Heavenly Bhutan Tours have been very much a part of it.read more

Travelled solo in May, and this turned out to be the most exotic and memorable trip. Dechan our guide is such a sorted... well spoken woman, her company alone makes one feel calm. As the youngest in the group, at first I was the only one who wanted to go to Tiger’s Nest.. and she assured me that she will accompany even if no one else turns up. And she actually did accompany me on my slow climb to the top.. and the view!! ❤️ This is the best tour group one could get, highly recommended. So friendly and super sweet. And you will definately love Dechan 😍read more

I normally don’t do tours but doing a tour with Jigme and Pema of Heavenly Bhutan Travels was well worth... it. They were great. Everything was organized well and Jigme was an excellent improviser when things could not go as planned. For a six day trip, he gave us much insight to the country, its culture and Buddhism—so much more than I could have done on my own. Of our group of four, two came to run the full marathon of the Bhutan International Marathon, while I and another ran the half marathon. Jigme decided on the day before to run the full marathon with us and did well. His participation was such an added bonus. Thank you Jigme, Pema and Shiva. I would love to travel with Heavenly Bhutan Travels again.read more

We came to run the 7th annual marathon and arrived right before Bhutan’s first case of covid19. Many sites... were closed as a result but Jigme was still able to make our way to see most as planned including Tiger’s Nest. Jigme knew the history of his country well and kept us always in good spirits. Pema maneuvered the windy roads well and kept us hydrated with a clean well-maintained vehicle always. I look forward to traveling to more remote areas of Bhutan in the future and would definitely explore it with Heavenly Bhutan again. Ka deen che la, Jigme, Pema and Shiva!read more

My wife and I recently spent 9 days in Bhutan with our own drive.We choose Heavenly Bhutan as was referred by... my causion sister.I found Mr Raju of Heavenly Bhutan very professional and the itenary prepared was as per our requirement only. Mr Dhana who was identified as our tour guide was also very professional, friendly, knowledgeable about the customs and traditions of Bhutan. He was actually the Ambassador of Bhutan. And more than a guide he was also our photographer in one way😁.Thank you brother Dhana for everything.👍. We visited Thimpu, Punakha, Wanddue,Bhumthang, Phobjika and Paro And overall the trip was a memorable one. We would like to thank Mr Raju and Dhana for their memorable gift followed by lunch at Thimpu on the last day.read more

Our trip to Bhutan was made memorable by Heavenly Bhutan Travel’s representatives — travel guide Ram and... driver Nimah. They were very prompt, extremely accommodating, and put our comfort before everything. My wife who had a knee injury was taken through the trek of Tiger’s Nest by the guide holding her hand through all of it, without which it would have been impossible for her to complete it. They took extra care to ensure we felt special on Christmas Day, by going out of their way to bake us a cake. Ram was quick to organise whatever we asked of him, whether it was a good restaurant with local cuisine or luxury spa activities or stopping for photos innumerable times through the drive; and this is the same with Nimah too. They never once complained. They took a diversion and helped us buy local organic products and very readily accepted our suggestion to feed tourist leftovers to stray animals. We are impressed by the hospitality of the team, and the cherry on the cake was the most beautiful parting gifts they handed over to us. We love your sense of humour Ram, and we surely recommend you and Nimah to everyone who wants to visit Bhutan.read more

Our trip to Bhutan in Dec 2019 was very pleasant, thanks to great planning and execution by Heavenly Bhutan... Travels! The choice of hotels, travel and food arrangements were great. Ms Menuka at their travel office answered my several pre-trip/planning questions and helped me come up with an itinerary per our interests and preferences. I had some last minute changes to my travel plans due to a family emergency and she worked with me on accommodating the changes, all the while communicating promptly and professionally. Mr Ram and Mr Passang, our guide and driver made our trip memorable. Mr Ram is very knowledgeable and loves to share his knowledge enthusiastically. He’s got a great sense of humor too! He quickly learned our interests and kept our itinerary flexible to accommodate them. I traveled with my 67 year old mother and he took care of us like family. Everyday he made sure he provided us with our daily itinerary and offered alternatives wherever possible to further suit our interests and fitness levels, so we could enjoy more. In one of the hotels we stayed at, the kitchen staff had some confusion over our meal request (they prepared Asian vegetarian instead of our Indian vegetarian meal request). Mr Ram went over and beyond his duty by actually assisting the kitchen staff to prepare our meal for us!! He's also a talented photographer and captured some great memories for us to take back home :).It was evident that he genuinely and passionately loves to serve his guests. And thanks to Mr Passang’s expert driving on the narrow, bending mountain roads, we could relax and enjoy the scenic views outside. Heartfelt thanks to the three of you, especially Mr Ram, for making our trip so comfortable and fun. You are great ambassadors for your country. Highly recommend Heavenly Bhutan Travels to anyone planning a visit!!read more

The tour of Bhutan was amazing. My husband and I did a one week trip in December. Correspondence with Shiva... was easy and we received clear instructions before our trip. Although the itinerary for a one week trip in Bhutan was pretty standard, Heavenly Bhutan catered it to our preference and some were even customized on the fly. (We asked for an introduction to Bhutan and to include daily hikes). The farmstay they chose for us at Pobjikha was great, authentic and with a very nice family. We got the opportunity to see how they really live and tasted good home cooking. Even though it was -10C that evening, our hosts and our guides made sure we were comfortable. Our guide - Dhana - was very friendly and helpful. We wanted to try more local food and he tried his best to ensure the hotel restaurants accommodated our requests. He also brought us to a nice authentic local restaurant for momos for lunch once. Dhana also seems to know many good viewing spots.. occasionally we would get to a popular picture taking spot full of other tourists but Dhana would guide us to another section with just as good a view but with less crowd. Nima our driver was friendly, sympathetic and was just simply a very nice person. He knew I could get car sick and drove very carefully along the long windy mountain roads and not once did I feel uncomfortable. Whenever Nima spotted wild animals along the way, he would point them out to us and stopped for us to take pictures. All-in-all, it was wonderful experience, and we would definitely recommend using Heavenly Bhutan, and / or with Dhana as the guide and Nima as the driver.read more

Our Bhutan holiday was a long pending one. This year, in November, we flew past the magnificent Himalayan... mountain range and landed in the Land of the Thunder Dragon. At Paro, we were greeted and welcomed by our ever smiling, friendly guide Tenzin and driver Nima. Tenzin had the information and he quoted anecdotes regarding all the places we visited. He had answers to our queries regarding all the monuments we visited.. in Paro, Thimpu and Punakha. He was so passionate about his country and enthusiastic to tell us all about their customs and beliefs. Nima our driver, NEVER broke any traffic rules. He has been one of the safest drivers we have ever had in all our travels. Tenzin definitely made the trek up to Tigers Nest less tiring with his motivational skills. This holiday of ours was very memorable and Tenzin and Nima from Heavenly Bhutan Tours have been very much a part of it.read more

Bhutan trip November 2019 Visited Bhutan a week back via WOW club and tour operator from Bhutan were... Heavenly Bhutan Travels. I must says it was one of the memorable trip. All credits of this amazing trip to our guide RinChen and driver Tik. They both were very well organised and had immense knowledge of all the places we visited. RinChen was courteous to answer all questions that was asked by entire group and never let us complain about anything. He engaged the entire group member throughout the trip and made all our treks and sight seeing beautiful memory to cherish for lifetime. Tik is such calm. And composed driver. His driving skills are excellent. Never felt any jerks or rash driving through out the 7 days trip. A silent listener of all the fun we had in bus. I was amazed to know the skill set and training the tourism driver should undergo at Bhutan. A big thank you to both RinChen and Tik for making trip memorable and being super awesome hosts.read more

We had Bhutan on our mind for a couple of years. It finally materialized last week and how? I got reference... of Heavenly Bhutan from a friend. From the moment I sent a text to Mr Raju, it all went perfect. He connected me with Ms Rita, who coordinated our entire booking flawlessly. She was extremely patient during a period of over a week that I struggled with remmitance thru BNB, India account. My travel itinerary with all details including Druk airline tickets, hotel details, guide and driver details were with us a couple of days before our travel. She spoke to me everytime I requested a call back, to answer some of my queries. We landed in Paro on Sunday, 20th October and we're greeted by our ever smiling guide - Sagar Sanyasi and the best guy on wheels - Tashi Tobgay. This duo ensured that we not only cover the itinerary, but also do a few things more. They were absolutely flexible for changes in schedule, accommodating our slow walk on hikes and nature trails. We may not have done so much without Sagar being there to give us a nudge and also the confidence. Sagar is quite knowledgeable on history of Bhutan and takes immense pride in narrating it. Tashi behind the wheels was safety at its best. He knows all turns on those winding roads by heart and we never had an anxious moment, from first day pick up to this morning drop to airport. All this was orchestrated by Mr Raju, who ensured a personal touch to our trip, by regularly checking on trip's progress and giving free hand to his team to ensure complete customer satisfaction. Heavenly Bhutan, truely represents Bhutan's culture of maintaining a high Gross National Happiness, in their own way by ensuring happiness of their customers. I would strongly recommend Heavenly Bhutan team, for anyone who wants to plan a visit to Bhutanread more

As the youngest in the group, at first I was the only one who wanted to go to Tiger’s Nest.. and she assured me that she will accompany even if no one else turns up. And she actually did accompany me on my slow climb to the top.. and the view!! ❤️ This is the best tour group one could get, highly recommended. So friendly and super sweet.

We had booked a last min holiday to Bhutan for a week. Beautiful country is an understatement. As it happens... to be off season we also got to enjoy the scenic beauty without much crowd. The Zhongs museums temples etc are typically the same in all cities... Every building is a beauty to watch! Must experience is the trekking to tiger's nest and archery which we personally enjoyed the best! We gave rafting a skip as the water maybe muddy during this season. Do carry hiking shoes anywhere you go in Bhutan... There's a lot of elevation walking. Our guide Tenzin was exceptional in managing our itenary ensuring that he prioritised our expectations and convenience. He took utmost care of us in this one week and also went beyond his duty helping us in our local shopping. Extremely dependable and fun guide. Our driver Prakash who took us around Bhutan is by far the safest driver we have seen. Additional bonus is his sense of humour! These two people truly made our Bhutan trip unforgettable!read more

What a trip! I spent only 4 nights/5 days in Bhutan and I’m in love. Next time will be longer for sure. I... cannot praise Heavenly Bhutan enough for making my dream trip so easy. There are many travel companies in Bhutan to choose from when googling, but Heavenly Bhutan stood out as a result of Mr Shiva’s prompt detailed responses. Thank you Mr Shiva for your patience and diligence. Also, this is minor, but for me it was important - other companies promoted they would offer 1 bottle of water a day. Heavenly Bhutan did not limit me, I think my guide and driver knew I drank a lot and 2 bottles were always waiting for me - and they continued to provide me more as needed. Like I said, small things, but when warned about drinking water in foreign countries, it was a big deal. I would not have had the appreciation for all of the dzongs, temples and locations I visited if it was not for my guide, Mr Dhana. His knowledge and kindness was top notch! Also my driver was amazing, Mr Bhim. Travel conditions are not the same as in the United States, but I had 100% confidence in Mr Bhim’s ability to safely get me from place to place. As a solo traveler, I didn’t know what to expect knowing I would have a guide and driver with me the entire time. Mr Dhana and Mr Bhim did an amazing job of making me feel safe, providing me the history of the country and each location we visited, yet provided me enough space to reflect and enjoy the peace and serenity I was seeking as a solo traveler. They were always accommodating to my needs, willing to stop whenever I wanted and willing to arrange plans as requested. Every day flowed like clockwork and Mr Dhana and Mr Bhim did an amazing job of ensuring meals, lodging and destination entry fees were always taken care of. Mr Dhana knew I wanted to try the traditional food, emi datsi, so he ensured I always had enough:). He also picked up that I enjoyed playing archery so he arranged to have me play twice. Another point worth noting, the pictures Mr Dhana took for me were amazing, he always offered to take pictures and knew the best spots, he also, unbeknownst to me, was taking portrait mode pictures that were amazing! Thank you:) The Heavenly Bhutan itinerary was perfect, I would not have changed a thing and I would not have left any part out! Which part was my favorite? I don’t think I can choose - every single experience was special. I feel so incredibly blessed to have visited the beautiful Kingdom of Bhutan and incredibly lucky to have had Heavenly Bhutan, Mr Dhana and Mr Bhim share the experience with me. I will, without a doubt, be back to Bhutan with Heavenly Bhutan’s assistance. Thank you Mr Shiva, Mr Dhana and Mr Bhim - thank you beyond the sky and the earth!read more

I got to know about HBT through Bhutan Tourism site that lists all the tour operators in Bhutan. I picked it... amongst many, but the responses that I got from them were enough to hint the kind of services are in the offing, if I finalise it as my vendor. Ms. Rita, got assigned to interact with me, finalise the itinerary and she was informative to the depth. She didn't think twice to book the hotels that I asked for, when almost all tour operators shy away from it. Please note that this is after we finalise the quote. She did check about room preferences and I was pleasantly surprised that the rooms were in accordance to what was agreed upon. Now, coming to the experience after I landed at Paro airport. I was greeted by Mr. Suraj, the guide assigned to me and Mr. Abi, the chauffeur of Toyota Hiace. Dressed in their formal attire both gentleman were well groomed and so is the vehicle that was assigned to me. So, there was a whiff of genuineness in the air, as my family made itself comfortable in the vehicle. Both of these gentleman had good knowledge of history, geography and culture of Bhutan. They took turns to narrate about it. This narration helped us to get a bit familiar with Bhutan, that really helped us during next 7 days of the stay. Suraj, was more than a guide... helping us in every bit, be it choosing the restaurant for meals, or accompanying us to local market for window shopping (yes, we just did window shopping, no real purchase). I had heard a lot about birding in Bhutan, and on knowing this - Suraj happily adjusted himself to accompany me in my early morning stroll to the woods at Punkha and Phobjikha. I was mightily impressed with his knowledge of local birds, including their calls and behaviour. Obviously, it was an awesome experience to guide me about the rich flora and fauna of Bhutan. Suraj is knowledgeable about Buddhism and took deep interest to explain the relics, paintings and other artefacts that were kept in various monasteries and temples, that we visited. The duo arranged impromptu river rafting (at Punakha) and a trek across Phobjikha valley for the family. The kids enjoyed it thoroughly. The last day of the tour was the most amazing experience I had... it was reserved for the best - trek to Tiger's Nest. It rained the whole night at Paro, and we were unsure if we will get a chance to climb to the temple, given it would be muddy and slippery. So, we waited for three hours, for clear weather, and started the trek at about 10 AM. Abi arranged two climbing sticks for us, and Suraj accompanied us for the trek. He was leading us, with careful guidance as to which path to take and where to step, so as to avoid slips and falls. It was evident that he is helpful naturally, as on the way, he kept on assisting various tourists who were trekking on their own. It took us about 7 hours for the return journey, and during this time Rita from HBT's office called us couple of times to know our well being. So, genuine folks! I would highly recommend HBT and if you can, do ask for Suraj and Abi, as your guide/companion while in Bhutan.read more

From Mr. Shiva, their General Manager, who promptly and patiently answered my many pre-trip questions and mid-trip requests, to Tenzin and Tashey, my guide and driver.

We can not recommend the services of Heavenly Bhutan highly enough. As frequent travelers we have never been... so well cared for as we were by their team. In particular our guide Sajan, our driver Jigme and the director Raju went beyond our best expectations. Not only did they give us the unforgettable experience of visiting their beautiful country but the care they took of us personally, daily, and especially when my spouse unexpectedly became sick, made us feel like family more than guests. That the CEO of the company Raju, called me just to check on his health and let me know that he was available for anything we needed was deeply touching. That they thought to get me a cake (with candles!) and a gift because my birthday happened to be during our tour was overwhelming. If you want your experience of the magical country of Bhutan to be one where your safety, comfort and happiness are the highest priority, book your trip with Heavenly Bhutan 💟☸️💟read more

My visit to Bhutan was nothing short of spectacular and Heavenly Bhutan Tours had a lot to do with my... positive experience. It started with Mr. Shiva, who worked with me via email to organize a great itinerary for me. He took my interest in birds and nature into account when choosing activities. Once in Bhutan, Mr. Tenzin Chorgyel, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and was very flexible with the tour schedule. He was very helpful with assisting me in purchasing gifts for friends and family. When I developed a bad cold, he was very attentive and made sure that I was provided with ginger tea and anything else that I might need each night. The hotels and restaurants where we ate were perfect: they were clean, excellent hospitality and delicious food. We saw incredible sites and attended a wonderful festival in Punakha. We made it to the Tiger’s Nest with much encouragement from Tenzin! Everything was very well-organized. Pasan, the driver, was the sweetest man and the safest driver that I have ever ridden with. He drove very slowly to prevent me from developing motion sickness. He was accommodating when I wanted to stop and take pictures and both the driver and the tour guide were very patient throughout the entire trip. Overall, we had an amazing experience in an incredibly beautiful country with the kindest people. I hope to return to this magical place in the future and I would definitively book through Heavenly Bhutan again and I would recommend them to anyone planning a trip to this gorgeous destination.read more

When I began my research for a trip to Bhutan early in 2018, I started off with Trip Advisor to source a... local tour company as the country mandates all foreigners to use them. A couple stood out from all the rest in terms of ratings: Bhutan Travel Club & Heavenly Bhutan Travels. I exchanged correspondence with both and found the latter to be more reasonable in pricing. The staff were courteous, friendly, prompt and helpful in organizing a 11-day trip tailored to our interests as well as budget. There were some delays in getting confirmations on various aspects, but we understood as the country was experiencing national elections at the time of our planning. At the end, all arrangements were set up in time for our trip. On arrival in Paro, we were greeted by our guide Sangjay Wangdak and our first driver who only was with us for the one day. Sangjay was incredibly knowledgeable in both the local culture, customs and Bhutan’s history as well as an encyclopedic education in all things Buddhist. Moreover, his quiet, kind, humble and humorous personality made the trip that much more special to myself and travelling companion. Language was never an issue as his command of English was fluent. There was never a time where we felt dissatisfied with any of his tireless efforts to make our trip to Bhutan absolutely wonderful. On the second day, we received a second driver Tashi (sorry for the spelling) who was quiet, courteous and hard working. His diligent and safe driving got us to all the places on schedule despite some of the roads being only single lane and\or under construction. There was never a single time he did not manage to open the back-passenger door for me. I even jokingly attempted one time to open his door for him, but he respectively refused and insisted he continue to open the door for me. The only thing we missed was the watchtower museum in Trongsa, but that was due to a building power outage which was out of Heavenly Bhutan’s control. This was made up to us by slightly rearranging out schedule to attend the annual Black Crane Festival in Phobjikha which was not on our original itinerary. Sangjay and Tashi worked well together like two close family members. By the end of the trip, we two westerners felt part of this close family as well. I can’t thank enough Sanjay, Tashi and the whole Heavenly Bhutan organization for making our trip to Bhutan one of the most memorable in all my many travels. You have a beautiful and pristine country, and we truly hope Bhutan stays the way it is by not succumbing to the pressure to become just another SEA tourist infested country. If you ever need a letter of reference, please don’t ever hesitate to ask us. Jason & Christyread more

We visited Bhutan in May 2018 with our kids and it was one of the most well organized and enjoyable trips we... have undertaken. Menuka-the operations manager provided us with a perfect itinerary, with a blend of cultural and adventure activities. Our tour guide Mr Tenzin Chorgyel was very well informed and was flexible with our plans. He was ready to accommodate any last minute changes in the tour program. We did a hike through dense forest from the Chalela Pass to a Nunnery on Tenzin's suggestion and it was an amazing experience. Mr Shyam our driver, ensured by his safe and deliberate slow driving that none of us suffered from motion-sickness on Bhutan's winding roads. Both Tenzin and Shyam were very cheerful and friendly. They made our eight day trip a wonderful experience. Would definitely recommend Heavenly Bhutan for those wanting to visit this lovely country.read more

Through tripadvisor I found Heavenly Bhutan by accident. The rates they offered were better than any other... agency and their proactive approach encouraged me to book with them. Menuka in their office answered all my questions over email and helped me get the best hotel rates. Little did I know that we had made the best decision of our lives by choosing Heavenly Bhutan! Tenzin, our guide and Sonam our driver were with us from the day we landed to the day we left. Tenzin was efficient, knowledgable, approachable and flexible. He amended the trip based on what we wanted to do. Nothing was too much trouble. He was there 24x7. I fell sick during my trip and Tenzin arranged for a car to take me to the hospital, Heavenly Bhutan staff accompanied me and Tenzin followed up with me every hour and took care of everything. I was very touched. His dedication is amazing. Sonam on the other hand drove with utmost care knowing that I was not well. Together they made this trip one of the best trips we have taken. Thank you Tenzin, Sonam and Heavenly Bhutan!read more

Its our first time travelling from Singapore to Bhutan and our 5-days trip was arranged and planned by... Heavenly Bhutan Travels. They are good in planning and customising our tour itinerary to include the places that we wish to visit and things that we want to do in Bhutan. The initial emails correspondence was a pleasant one. During the trip, our guide and driver are very warm, helpful and friendly. They tried their very best to explain the history and culture of Bhutan to us and accommodate our needs and last minute requests. For instance, visiting Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Choeten monastery and the dinner with the locals at the farm house which were not in our planned itinerary. Staff from the agency even came to meet us for dinner on the first night and we have a little farewell dinner with our guide on the last day. Very thankful for their hospitality! Furthermore, our accommodation hotels are nice and clean. Food is fine too. We will definitely recommend Heavenly Bhutan Travels to our friends and family if they are planning to visit the country again.read more

Hi this is for everyone intending to travel to Bhutan. A visit to Bhutan is a must for every human being... because this country truly portrays happiness in all its aspects. The tour guide you must use is the one and only Sajan from Heavenly Bhutan . He is extremely professional with the right personal touch and for him work comes first. He dealt with us ie a group of 20 women with extreme tact and care. Even his colleagues Thek and Sing were excellent. None of us had even one reason to complain. So three cheers for Heavenly Bhutan.read more

We just came back from our first visit to Bhutan. Our big group composed of 28 photography enthusiasts had... our fill of the beauty and wonders of Bhutan through the excellent guideship and tour services of Heavenly Bhutan Travels. We cannot thank enough our superb guides, Sajan Rai and Dhana Sanyasi, and our expert tour drivers Pema and Tek, who made us experience the stunning beauty of Bhutan and feel the warmth of its wonderful people. Our itinerary was customized to capture the magnificent natural sceneries and rich history and culture in Thimphu, Punakha and Paro. The choice of hotels and variety of foods served were great. We appreciated the mix of activities arranged for us which included minor walks along rice fields, suspension bridges and museums, moderate hikes to Buddha Dordenma and Tango Monastery, Dzongs hopping, and the steep hike to the Tiger’s Nest! Sajan, Dhana, Pema and Tek seemed to be tireless, as they remarkably managed to assist all of us from taking our solo and group photos, making sure our luggages did not get lost as we moved from one hotel to another, shopping for souvenirs, and helping us managed the trails during our hikes. All of them were very generous in sharing their knowledge of the places we visited, which added depth to our experience of Bhutan and its friendly and kind people. Sajan, Dhana, Pema and Tek were always very helpful, patient, good-humored and considerate on our various requests and activities. We felt their genuine and sincere attention to us from day one, and they were always brightening our days til the end of our tour! Moreover, the CEO/Founder of Heavenly Bhutan Travels, Raju Rai, visited us on our last night during a colorful cultural program, and awarded each one of us a certificate of achievement! That was unexpected! On top of this excellent service to our group, more importantly we have gained new friends in the process. We truly enjoyed our stay in Bhutan and created core memories. We love Bhutan! Many thanks again to Sajan, Dhana, Pema and Tek. We will definitely go with Heavenly Bhutan Travels again the next time we visit Bhutan... hopefully in the near future! Heavenly Bhutan Travels not only delivers high quality and superb service, but also sees to it that guests personally experience the soul and beauty of Bhutan and its marvelous people. That’s indeed heavenly!read more

Bhutan is a very beautiful country, no doubt. But our experience was made all the more beautiful by 'Heavenly... Bhutan travels'. They provided with us a very knowledgeable, friendly and caring tour executive, Mr Bishnu Kr. Ghaley, who helped us understand his heavenly country better. Despite being a 3 day holiday due to census, they managed the tour very well and ensured that none of the the tourists were dissatisfied. After all, Bhutan has a lot to offer and missing anything as a tourist makes overall experience sour. Mr. Bishnu was present throughout the tour like a shadow, right from greeting us to seeing us off at the airport. He made our experience truly wonderful. For anyone who wants a no-fuss only happiness holidays, opt for Heavenly Bhutan. They really know their work and they will surely help in making sweet memories of the Kingdom of happiness for you.read more

I've had Bhutan on my bucket list, most famously because of Tiger's Nest, for a while now and was strapped... for time in organising and researching too much else. Heavenly Bhutan are a great team of local on-the-ground experts who made the trip possible and ensured we had nothing to worry about except bringing ourselves and our passports over. Prior to the trip, they were extremely professional and responsive in organising a tailored, customised trip that would cover the major experiences we wanted to have in the short 7 days that we were there. Apart from being able to see the sights and taste the Bhutanese food on offer, the real highlight of travelling for me was to connect with the people. We had the privilege of having Dhana as our guide and Senior Ram as our driver. Both were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and have a true passion of showing the beauty of Bhutan to the world. They were very attentive and flexible with the schedule to ensure we covered all that we had set out to do and more. Our trip was made more memorable because we had you guys along the way! Special mention to: - Dhana for walking and trekking endlessly with us through the trails around Thimpu and Paro, and sharing your knowledge of Bhutan with us - Senior Ram for the sense of humour and incredible roasted trout - The overnight Tigers Nest hike which is an amazing way of getting to the temple - Shiva and the accountant a.k.a "Rescue team" for coming out to Paro to show us around town and how the locals hang out on a weekend Bhutan really is an amazing country with a lot of history, culture and experiences. Highly encourage all to take that first step in putting it as your next holiday destination and Heavenly Bhutan will take care of the rest!read more

First of all a big thank you to Raju to have ensured that everything that we had in mind for the... quickest-planned yet longest holiday so far gets executed extremely extremely well. While we already knew what we wanted to do and where we wanted to stay, Raju made sure all permits and bookings are done with absolute ease not only that he suggested a lot of things that helped us get a true flavour of all things local and MORE :) Heavenly Bhutan is truly Heavenly because of the lovely team members who make your trip superb. Our best friend during the trip was Ram.. he not only safely drove us from one place to another ( some of Bhutan roads can be tough ) but he also shared lots of trivia and helped make our trip too much fun. Bishnu too was a great companion especially during the Tiger's Nest hike. He acquainted us with Bhutanese culture, people, food and life :) If it wasn't for the 3 of them our trip wouldn't have been as memorable. We plan to visit eastern parts of Bhutan soon and we will definitely do that trip with Heavenly Bhutan :Dread more

I got the reference of Heavenly Bhutan from a good friend and I am glad I got them to be my travel and tour... guide for my trip to Bhutan. From the very beginning, the entire Heavenly Bhutan team ensured that the trip is one of the best memories of our life. They are truly very professional and planned our trip to PERFECTION. Raju was very kind enough to accommodate my requirements and ensured that the itinerary is completely customized to suit our requirements. Our guide Jigme and our driver Namgay ensured that we were fully comfortable and enjoyed our trip to its fullest. We had a special request for Veg meal and both Jigme and Namgay made us savour excellent Veg food throughout the journey. They introduced us to lovely Bhutanese cuisines and my taste buds still craves for them. Slight modifications in the itinerary were done without hassles and well accommodated by the team. A personal visit by Raju to meet us before we left, was way beyond my expectation. Meeting him felt like I am meeting a dear friend rather than a tour operator. I definitely recommend Heavenly Bhutan to all my friends who wish to visit the BEAUTIFUL and HEAVENLY BHUTAN..!! Cheers to the team ..! Do keep up the good work..!! Wish to visit Bhutan again, and Heavenly Bhutan will be my choice without second thoughts...read more

DREAM VACATION MADE PERFECT BY HEAVENLY BHUTAN TRAVELS (HBT) I had been dreaming of a vacation with my wife... to Bhutan, The Kingdom of Happiness for several years and in April 2017 it was becoming a reality. I was so excited and happy. Before embarking into any holiday I do a lot of planning to get the best out of the vacation. So six months prior to making reservation for our vacation to Bhutan as always I was gathering information from the internet. One of the first website I visited was the official government website of Bhutan tourism. As I was gathering information from this website I came across an advisory notice, which was emphasising how important it was to choice a travel agent registered with the government and the list of registered travels agencies was also given within this website. So upon opening the list of listed registered travel agencies I now faced a very difficult and confusing task as to which travel agency to choose from the listed 100s of travels agents. So randomly clicking on the directory the name Heavenly Bhutan Travels caught my attention and following my gut feeling I decided to approach them and sent the first inquiry mail. To my surprise I received a response from them the very same day. Ms. Menuka who communicated with me on behalf of HBT was very prompt and professional with her responses and never did I get any feeling that she was irritated with the so many queries I had about hotels, travels, vehicles, money transfers, food etc. After exchanging mails for several weeks my itinerary was finalized and I awaited excitedly for April 2017 to come as the vacation was booked 5 months in advance. We had planned to enter Bhutan by land and Phuentsholing was our entry point. As we reached our hotel in Phuentsholing we were warmly greeted by our guide Mr. Ram who was already waiting for us at the hotel and had already selected a room for us. After checking into the hotel room we went to the immigration office to get our permits made and thus began our vacation to Bhutan with Heavenly Bhutan Travels. On the second day of our vacation upon reaching Thimpu, we were invited for a dinner with Mr. Raju the founder and Managing Director of HBT. This dinner with Mr. Raju his wife and children turned out to be more like a family get together it felt as if we had known them from before, this is how comfortable they made us feel. After that dinner I was convinced that I had made the right choice to choose Heavenly Bhutan Travels to manage our vacation. I saw so much conviction and motivation with Mr. Raju to give the best to all his customers. During the 10 days that our guide Mr. Ram was with us, he always made sure we were comfortable and got the best rooms with good views in the hotels that we were booked with. He also had a very good knowledge of the historic places we visited. He always seemed happy and positive and he would at times crack certain jokes to make laugh. It was a real pleasure having him as our guide. To bring things to an end. Me and my wife would like to thank Heavenly Bhutan Travels for making our 2017 vacation an excellent one it was much more than we expected. We will definitely be coming back in a few years’ times to visit Bumthang other places we missed this time and it will no doubt be with Heaven Bhutan Travels.read more

Have just returned from a 6day trip and am still tired but couldn't wait to write. Rinchen, our guide and Lal... Bahadur, our driver had made the trip so incredible and memorable that I feel i am still on the lap of Himalayas. Rinchen is so knowledgeable and well informed that he full filled everyone's queries patiently. Lal Bahadur is very jovial and ever smiling at the same time confident on the rough terrain of Bhutan. I wish them good luck.read more

We were guided by Sonam Penjor and driven around by Prakash. The team was excellent. Making the travel feel... safe and secure in the winding roads is one thing and the other aspect is the care taken in selecting the restaurants etc. That being said, the other most important aspect is the history of the places which is usually given by anybody. Where Sonam scored better was the mapping that he was able make with the Hindu mythology to explain the Buddhist mythology and the culture. This way we could understand, appreciate and involve ourselves. The uploaded video will demonstrate the point that I'm trying to make.read more

The arrangements made by Heavenly Bhutan totally surpassed our expectations. Everything was so well planned,... down to the last detail. Dhana and Ram looked after us so well. Once when we casually mentioned to Dhana that the food served in the hotel wasn’t very good he made sure that for the next meal we got the best delicacies Bhutan could offer :) :). At every place we stopped for a meal Dhana would pre-order the food so that we didn’t have to wait at the restaurent. He also patiently explained the history of each monument or dzong that we visited. Menuka and Rohan were also sweet enough to come meet us over lunch and they didn’t even let us pay! All the hotels were excellent and we had a dedicated car and driver with us right through the journey. Ram was the cutest travel companion and a truly safe driver. We have never felt this content after a vacation. All in all we highly recommend Heavenly Bhutan to anyone who wishes to visit this lovely country.read more

Heavenly Bhutan arranged everything for us....great hotels, clean and comfortable transport and most of all, knowledgeable guide Sajan and friendly driver Ram. Sajan knew so much and answered all our questions. The entire booking process was handled very professionally by the Heavenly Bhutan team and all our requirements were taken care of.

We did a 6 day trip with this company in Jan/Feb 2017. It was outstanding. The service was exceptional. We... had Sonam as our guide and our driver was Ram. They were both just amazing. A lot of fun, a lot of good local information and a willingness to take us to see anything we were interested in. The hotels were good, well located and had good amenities such as a breakfast. Menuka organized everything and was excellent at answering questions and organizing everything in a quick and efficient manner. We LOVED Bhutan. It is a really beautiful country and the people are lovely. I would go back at another time of the year because I think the landscape would look different in, say, spring. If we were to go back it would be with Heavenly Bhutan for sure! We highly recommend this company.read more

My friend and I found Heavenly Bhutan to be a highly efficient, professional, friendly and great value for... money tour operator. We were especially impressed with the exceptional high standard of both our guide (Rinchen) and driver (Ram). Rinchen’s incredible knowledge of the history, culture, religion and geography of Bhutan greatly enriched our holiday experience. He is without doubt the most informative travel guide I have ever encountered. He was extremely responsive to all our requests and spared no effort to ensure that each day of our trip was thoroughly memorable and completely stress free. Whether it was making sure that every meal we had was delicious or arranging unique experiences like a soothing Himalayan stone bath, Rinchen never failed to exceed our expectations. One of the areas of concern I had before travelling to Bhutan in winter was the condition of the roads. However, any fears were quickly allayed thanks to the great skill, knowledge and unfaltering commitment to safety of Ram. We were amazed at the seemingly effortless manner he navigated our way through some of the most challenging conditions of Bhutan’s roads (and weather!). His very positive demeanour and infectious sense of humour made travelling with him a real pleasure. Indeed, it felt more like a relaxing road trip instead of a tour. On the basis of our travels with Rinchen and Ram, I highly recommend Heavenly Bhutan. It was a superb travel experience and I look forward to experiencing more of this uniquely beautiful country.read more

I recently visited Bhutan together with my friend for a week in Sept 2016. Throughout the trip, we engaged... Heavenly Bhutan Travel's services. We had a wonderful tour guide, Mr Dhanapati and our driver, Mr Om. They were very hospitable and accommodative to our requests. They were friendly, down-to-earth and always so willing and pro-active to help us hold our camera! And our photos turned out really great too! They have definitely made our holiday very memorable and relaxing in this beautiful country. They shared their stories and made our holiday even more meaningful. I highly recommend those who are keen to visit Bhutan to get in touch with Heavenly Bhutan Travels. Leave it to the professionals, and just enjoy the beauty of this country.read more

It took me more than a year of planning to help my religious teacher Ven Kaiding to lead a group of devotees... to visit Bhutan from 12 to 19 July 2015. As travelling to Bhutan is not cheap with government’s stipulation of standard USD200 per day per person during low season and USD250 during high season which includes transportation, 3 meals plus complimentary coffee/tea and snacks and standard 3-star hotels but not visa fee. The first mail started on 01 July 2014 by writing to about 10 travel agencies for quotations. Some replied within a day, some took few days and some did not reply. After shortlisting the tour agencies by going through their testimonials, reviews in Tripadvisor forum and the type of hotels they gave and finally I picked Heavenly Bhutan Travels because of the superfast reply, the pricing and flexibility in the itinerary and allowing us to pick the hotels and restaurants of our preference as well as practical advice by its CEO and founder Mr Raju. Our trip was almost aborted by the severe earthquake in Kathmandu when AirAsia canceled our flight to Kathmandu from Kuala Lumpur scheduled on 11 July 2015 and we were unable to connect our booked Kathmandu to Paro flight and the flight from Kathamndu to Paro for the next few days were fully booked. We had no choice then but to cancel our trip despite deposit had been paid. It's the terms and conditions of all travel agencies to impose a penalty for cancelling the booking and by then, more than 100 emails had been exchanged over the period. It's the magnanimity of Mr Raju who promised to keep the cancellation fee for us to make the trip in a future date. At last we managed to change our route by having our transit in Kolkata with all flight tickets available for the same period. It was indeed a marvelous, wonderful and unforgettable trip arranged by Heavenly Bhutan Tours by providing us with a very good English speaking, helpful, humble and highly knowledgeable guide in many fields, Mr Sajan and a very skillful, careful and helpful young driver Mr Ngawang. Our group members were received by the company's top management Mdm KM Subba, the finance manager, Mr Shiva, the general manager and Ms Menuka, the operation manager upon our arrival at Paro airport. Mr Raju, was so apologetic when he could not come to personally receive us as he was having a business convention in India but later he caught us up in a dinner at Paro. We were garlanded by Khadar and ushered to a cafeteria at the airport where welcoming drinks were served. After which, we started our 7-day trip. Unlike tour guides in Asian countries where tour guides used to hurry their guests when visiting a place but put a lot of time for shopping. In Bhutan, you never see this, the guide would never take you to any souvenir shops unless and until you requested. So we had plenty of times visiting the magnificent and charming Dzongs in Bhutan. To make the story short, we visited most of the famous Dzongs in Paro, Thimphu, Punakha and Phobjikha. Among the Dzongs that impressed us most was the Punakha Dzong, which was huge and magnificent. We stayed at Norbuling Hotel in Thimphu, Punatsangchu Cottages in Wangdue and Dewachen Hotel in Phobjikha and Gantey Palace Hotel in Paro. Gantey Palace Hotel was the best hotel we stayed in Bhutan because of its beautiful environment, well kept garden, wonderful view overlooking the Paro valley and its charming rooms. As far as food was concerned, most of the restaurants served decent food but the foods at Gantey Palace Hotel was still the best. We patronized Yue Ling Restaurant and Bhutan Kitchen in Thimphu, Kuenphen Restaurant and restaurant in Hotel Lobesa in Wangdue, Lhayabling Restaurant, Phuensum Gakhil Restaurant and Charo and Doro Restaurant in Paro. On the last day of the tour, Heavenly Bhutan Travels arranged a cultural performance cum dinner at Charo and Doro Restaurant and the CEO, Mr Raju together with the senior staff of the company came along and had a good conversation with us and our tour leader, Ven Kaiding. The restaurant at Hotel Lobesa in Wangdue where we took our breakfast on the way from Dewachen Hotel to Paro commanded a magnificent view of the field and rolling mountains, the manager and staff were very courteous and helpful. The restaurant was equipped with wifi and food was delicious and I would recommend my friends to stay in this hotel if they come to Bhutan in future. Road condition: The road condition after Thimphu was quite bad, bumpy and winding in the sense that most travelers have to endure this inconvenience for now as the government was upgrading the road and road works were carried out along the way. Certain stretch of the roads had to be closed for hours for works to be carried out. We had a scenario where we had to leave Hotel Dewachen as early as 4.30am in order to beat the road block and there was a minor landslide where a tree fell down across the road and we stuck for an hour. Highlights 1: Hiking up Tiger’s Nest or Takshang Lhakhang was the highlight of our whole Bhutan trip and it’s a must for most travelers when coming to Bhutan. We were in a big group with the oldest 74 years old and a handful more in the sixties. We were advised to start our hike early when the weather was not so hot. We were fortunate to have a very helpful guide, Mr Sajan, to look after us. It’s really not easy for Mr Sajan alone to take care of a group of 17 with different pace hiking up the monastery. To make sure everyone is kept on the right track, I could see Mr Sajan running up and down the hill several times. It took us four solid hours to hike up to the famed monastery from the car park at the foothill with a 30 minutes tea break at the cafeteria situated half way up. After almost an hour hike from the cafeteria, we reached a tall religious flag pole, the view of the monastery was just stunning, magnificent and breathtaking with temples perching on such a steep cliff and wondered how those people built it in the olden days. After that flag pole started the 400 over stairs downwards and 200 over stairs upwards, in between there was a magnificent waterfall with water plunging down from few hundred meters, the sacred monastery was right in front of us. Security check was strict at the entrance where no cameras and backpacks were allowed to be brought into the monastery. We stayed at the monastery for quite a while as on the day, a particular meditation cave used by the Guru Rinpoche was open to the public on that particular day of the year. We had a simple yet delicious vegetarian lunch on the way back and it took us about two hours to get down to the car park at the foothill. It was raining and the trek was slippery when we went down, the driver Mr Ngawang who also hiked up together with us helped two elderly members to get down to the car park. Highlights 2: Gantey Nature Trail. It was one of the most beautiful trails we have ever walked in our past travels. Due to the road work from Wangdue to Phobjikha, we managed to reach the starting point of this beautiful 4km trail at 4pm where we had to forgo Gantey Goempa and Black Neck Crane observatory station. It was really worthwhile to take the trail. At the beginning of the trail, we were attracted and absorbed by the view on the slope with pine trees overlooking the valley with dotted houses here and there. It’s was like Switzerland. The guide told us that this place also called “Little Switzerland”. There was a lookout point along the way where we could see a vast flat wetland in the valley. The view was really beautiful and the air was so fresh. It is a very easy trail with flat and downhill path. It took us about two hours to finish the trail with very slow leisure walk and taking time to take great pictures. Don’t miss this attractive place when you are in Phobjikha. Conclusion: It’s always very much cheaper to book through the tour companies in Bhutan than through the local ones at home but one must cautious to pick the right and responsible, good service as well as reputable companies as there are more than one thousand travel companies in Bhutan. So going through the reviews and trip reports in various travel forums is a must. Email at least 10 travel agencies for quotations and shortlist them after few email correspondence. Don’t feel shy to ask questions and the way they answer also serves a clue for final selection. Some tour companies in their website stated that if you have a group of 16 people, the 17th pax will enjoy totally free tour fare including visa fee. If you have a group of more than 10, you can always negotiate for better deal. I hope this trip report helps those who intend to travel to Bhutan without going through their local agents. Happy and safe travel.read more

I visited Bhutan with my son, daughter, my sister and her son between 14 and 21 May 2015. Thanks to the... excellent service provided by Heavenly Bhutan Travels they enjoyed their trip. While planning the trip, Mr Shiva from their office was most helpful in customizing our trip and he always responded positively. Thank you Shiva !. Our tour guide Dhana and driver Kancha were very polite and friendly. We were provided good hotels/resorts throughout our stay and on one rare occasion when we had a small occasion to complain about the food, the owners of the restaurant come to us and apologised profusely and had dinner with us ! So our complaint turned into a nice evening with the owner couple. All in all, we had a wonderful trip. Bhutan is a nice place to visit and Heavenly Bhutan Travels are one of the best agents.

From our first contact with Heavenly Bhutan Travels to the moment we left Bhutan their service and attention... to detail was first class. We were in Bhutan for 11 days, that included a 5 day Druk Path Trek, and we've already starting saving up for our next trip there. After much scouting for a reliable travel agent, I came across a recommendation for Heavenly Bhutan Tours in trip advisor and contacted them for a customized cultural & trek tour. My husband and I love travelling, but generally tend shy away from planned tour packages, because of the rigid business-like itineraries. It’s our time away from work, and we like to choose how to spend it. Most agencies are businesslike, but Heavenly Bhutan isn't one of them. They are quick to understand your requirements. They treat you like family. You feel at home. What I like about my dealing with Heavenly Bhutan is that they keep the plans open and adaptable to your wishes. So, you want to visit the Tiger Nest Monastery in the morning, rather than as scheduled? Why not? They go out of their way to make sure your trip is memorable and enjoyable. Their CEO, Mr. Raju understood our requirements perfectly and quickly accommodated our desire to do the Druk Path Trek and cover Western Bhutan and part of Central Bhutan. We also had the pleasure of meeting Raju in Thimphu over a delicious Bhutanese dinner and we shared a great evening talking about the cultures of our countries. At Paro airport we were welcomed by our guide Mr. Sajan and driver Mr. Rinchen. As Sajan’s child fell ill, Dhanapathy or Dhana as he is known, took over as our guide and stayed with us throughout our trip. They both were well informed, charming, helpful, attentive and open to suggestions for change. Dhana not only provided a cultural context for the visit, but was a wonderful guide while on our trek. The trek was a wonderful experience. Magnificent sights, Chef Dorji's delicious Bhutanese meals, piping hot soups, endless cups of tea, warm dinners in the dining tent at the campsite, horses gently snorting outside our tent were some of the highlights. One morning, Dawa, our horseman, woke up to find his horses had wandered away. He would have run more than 10 Kms in different directions looking for them, finally a team effort resulted in Kewa locating them. Everyone from our chef Dorji, his assistant Kewazangpo, horseman Dawa went above and beyond to make sure that we made our journey safely. Rinchen, our driver during the cultural trip is an expert driver and also has a great sense of humor. I can’t get the picture of him scaring away yaks out of my head. Tandin, our driver in Paro is a great guy; he even got us delicious ara (rice wine) to our hotel when we stayed back in on a cold evening. I would like to thank Raju, Dhana, Rinchen, Tandin and the trek team from “Heavenly Bhutan Travels” to make one of our life's dreams come through.read more
