Bhutan Best Travel Testimonials and Reviews

We recently returned from an amazing trip to Bhutan with Bhutan Best Travel. Everything was smooth and well organised from start to finish, but what truly made the trip special were our guide, Sangay, and our driver, Pema. Sangay’s knowledge of Bhutanese history seemed endless, and he shared stories of monasteries, fortresses, and valleys in an engaging and easy way. It felt less like a history lesson and more like a friend proudly introducing his country. His sense of humour and cheerful personality kept us entertained throughout the trip, making long drives and hikes feel much easier. He was also very attentive, always knowing when we needed a break or a photo stop, and often helped capture our favourite moments as our photographer. Our driver, Pema, deserves special mention too. He must have driven these mountain roads hundreds of times, yet he approached every journey with patience and professionalism. We were always greeted by a clean and tidy vehicle, no matter how dusty the roads had been the day before. It may seem like a small detail, but after long days of sightseeing, it was something we really appreciated. There are so many special memories from this trip, but one that stands out happened on our 3rd night, coincided with Vesak Day. From the viewpoint of our hotel in Punakha, there's a full moon rise over the valley. The night was incredibly peaceful, the moonlight, surrounding mountains, and twinkling lights below created a scene that felt almost unreal! The hike to Tiger’s Nest and the Mini Tiger’s Nest also remains one of the clearest memories we brought home from Bhutan. What made the experience truly memorable, however, was seeing the country through the eyes of people who genuinely love it. Thank you, BBT, Sangay and Pema, for turning a wonderful holiday into a journey we will remember for many years to come.

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.

We completed a 10-day journey with Bhutan Best Travel. Our guide Sonam was knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about sharing Bhutan’s culture and history. Our driver Khundu was also excellent — we always felt safe and comfortable, even on long mountain drives. The itinerary was very well thought out, balancing cultural sites, nature, and authentic local experiences. We appreciated most was the attention to detail — from smooth logistics to thoughtful touches that made the journey feel personal and relaxed. Hotels were well selected for each location, offering a good balance of comfort and local character. Overall, a truly memorable experience. We would highly recommend Bhutan Best Travel to anyone looking for a well-organized and enriching trip to Bhutan.
