JUST SPECTACULAR!
Bhutan

Dec 18 - Dec 26, 2023
Our guide Tashi was just spectacular! He quickly figured out what our interests are when we travel and made modifications to the itinerary accordingly. We experienced Bhutan by talking to locals (who wanted to practice their Hindi) at the festival in Tsonga, being quizzed by a 7 year old on Buddhist dieties, chatting with a 15-year old who loves TikTok and basketball. None of these authentic interactions would have possible without Tashi's curation of urban and rural hikes. Our driver Ponshu (quite sure I misspelled his name) was phenomenal. Since my husband was recovering from a leg injury and had to slow down on the hikes, he decided to accompany us.
The Dochula Pass, and the Paro Takstang hike were fabulous experiences. The food and accommodation at Dhumra in Punakha was definitely our #1.
Hotel Reviews
Fabulous location and friendly staff. The rooms & amenities are a work in progress.
The meals were just delicious! Incredible property in every way!!
The food at the restaurant was mediocre, especially the non-Indian vegetarian options that were served at the Xmas eve dinner and the Bhutanese cuisine. The property, the rooms, and staff were exceptional!
Dear Jaya, Thanks for your kind words about your guide and driver. Tashi is indeed one of our best guides so glad to read you were happy with his work. Also great to hear Bhutan made a big impression on you. Hope you will cherish these trip memories for a long time! Warm regards, Bas.
