We had some of the best guides we could ever ask for, sharing deep knowledge and wisdom about Buddhism and the culture of the country. We also stayed in very nice and clean hotels — not overly luxurious, but filled with warmth and genuine hospitality. The food was fantastic as well, especially for those who enjoy spicy cuisine, something many Asians can easily relate to. Over the 7 days and 6 nights, we created many fond memories through trekking, exploring, and enjoying the local food and culture. The weather in April is just perfect — not too cold and ideal for trekking and spending time in nature. You don’t need to wear too many layers, yet it never feels too hot during the day. It made the entire hiking and outdoor experience very comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you, Bhutan Best Travel, for such a meaningful and memorable experience!
Excellent private tour of Bhutan. The itinerary was very well organized, the hotels were great, and the whole experience felt smooth and stress-free. Our guides, Dorji and Tashi, were both extremely kind, helpful, flexible, and always attentive to what we wanted to do each day. They made the trip much more enjoyable. Bhutan itself is extraordinary, and this was a perfect way to discover it. I would highly recommend this agency to anyone looking to visit Bhutan in comfort and with complete peace of mind.
We just got back from a 10-day trip from western and central Bhutan. We selected BBT due to Jaclyn's responsiveness and her ability to tailor the itinerary to our needs. The trip was well planned and gave us ample time to acclimatise, with shorter hikes and gradually building up to longer ones. We opted for mid-range hotels and were generally happy with the choices. The 4x4 was always clean, spacious, comfortable and solid - something that's important when travelling on mountain roads. Now comes our guide Sangay and driver Khandu. What can I say..... They were in fact the highlight of our trip (well, of course besides Tiger's Nest ;D)! Sangay was wonderfully thoughtful judging from the smallest details, like arranging the best room views for us without us asking & special local food arrangements. He's also extremely knowledgeable. His cheeky personality kept us entertained on long drives. Khandu was a quiet and safe driver, and incredibly funny and thoughtful as well. Together, they formed such a great team that made the experience exceptional for us!
Our time in Bhutan was made truly exceptional by our guide, Dorji. He struck that rare balance of being deeply knowledgeable while also wonderfully human—unfailingly polite, yet quick to laugh and full of curiosity. Every day felt enriched by his insights, whether he was sharing nuances of Bhutanese culture, stories of Buddhism, observations on nature, or thoughtful perspectives on the country’s politics. What stayed with us most, though, were not just the places we saw, but the conversations we had. Over time, those conversations turned into inside jokes and a genuine sense of connection that made each day feel personal and joyful. By the end of the trip, it felt less like we had a guide and more like we were traveling with a friend. Our driver was equally outstanding—consistently safe, steady, and reliable on roads that demand real skill and care. Together, they made an incredible team: both unfailingly professional, attentive, and deeply committed to making our experience seamless. I truly miss seeing them every day, which says everything about the kind of presence they brought to our journey.

Tourists travel in Bhutan with medium-sized buses (20-22 seats), small buses (8-12 seats) or hired cars. Larger coaches are not permitted due to the road’s limited width.
With the high altitude, Bhutan is a challenging and rewarding experience for trekkers. It will take you deep into the beautiful and unspoilt nature. It will lead you to evergreen forests populated by various plant and animal species, forming a scenic path for you to follow. These treks lead you through villages, farms and religious temples, allowing a chance to witness the rich culture and the life of the rural Bhutanese people.
We have knowledgeable and friendly guides, cooks, porters, assistants and pony handlers at your disposal.
In short, all you need to do is simply enjoy the trek with a camera in hand as you take shots of the breathtaking scenery and mingle with the indigenous people.
In addition, we customise treks to suit each individual of different groups and needs.
Bhutan’s summers are warm with daily temperatures ranging from 20 to 25 degrees celsius, while winters are cold with daily temperatures often falling bellow 15 degrees celsius.
If you’re visiting Bhutan during winter, be sure to pack a few sets of warm clothes and comfortable shoes.
All trekkers are accompanied by a guide, a cook and usually at least one horseman or yak herder.
They will lead your trekking group. The horseman and cook will usually run ahead during a trekking day.
They will have prepared a packed lunch for hikers and will go on to the night’s resting place to set up camp.
They set up tents, cook dinner and ready the area for arriving trekkers.
When trekkers reach the campsite they are greeted with a hot cup of tea and biscuits in the dining tent. After six hours on the mountains, no drink will ever taste sweeter.
For dinner, the cook will usually prepare a buffet of dishes that are just as delicious as they are welcoming.
In Bhutan, all trekking supplies – camping equipment, kitchen implements, food – are all carried by pack animals. Usually, the loads are carried by horses or, in higher regions, yaks.
It’s always important to ensure that you’re well-prepared before you head off on your trekking expedition in Bhutan. Here’s a little packing list that will guide you along.

Miscellaneous
Altitude sickness can be a serious problem at the altitudes hiked to in Bhutan.
If you feel sick, dizzy or have a worsening headache, stop and drink as much water as possible.
If the symptoms persist, go back down the mountain.
Bhutanese guides are trained to look out for altitude sickness and other ailments that can affect trekkers.
They are expert walkers who have been trained as trekking guides and follow routes that have been walked for centuries.
All trekkers are required to strictly follow trekking rules to protect the fragile environment at high altitudes.
