Things you should know but probably don't in Bhutan: 1) Shopping - Guides get a 15% commission on souvenirs, so make sure to tell the shop owner that you're travelling alone. Otherwise, he will NOT negotiate with you al all. Without a guide, expect 20-25% bargaining room. And smile a lot...you're buying part of Bhutan! 2) Drinks - Diet Coke... More

In Sept 2010 my husband and I visited the Kingdome of Bhutan for a week's tour of the country. All of our travel arrangements were made through Yeoong Travel with Chime's expert input - he can be reached at http://www.bhutantourpackage.com/ I have travelled to over 80 countries and I can easily say this trip was one of my travel highlights.You...

During our recent visit in April 2012 to Bhutan we had the opportunity of meeting young children at a school near Punakha. My daughter had friends who told her that we should bring along with us books and writing stuff , as well as some chocs for the kids. Bhutanese children are lovely and curious, and speak reasonably good English.... More

Our Bhutan travel arrangements were done by Migae Adventure Travel. They are very responsive and can customise to your comfort and budget. Our Driver- guide Santosh was very courteous and helpful. Rochog Pel hotel in Thimphu had large, clean rooms with river view and excellent service. 4WD vehicle was in good condition for the long winding road travel to Bumthang.... More

My boyfriend and decided to book a last minute trip to bhutan while backpacking this summer. We were a little apprehensive given the cost of travelling there but it was well forth it in the end. We found Yeoong travel (also called bhutantourpackage) randomly online but couldn't have been luckier. Mr. Chime, the owner/manager of the company was extremely helpful... More

Well I just came back from this lovely tour undertaken by me in Bhutan. One day tour which I will recommend to everyone will be a visit to Haa Valley. The very drive to this place is so beautiful. The moment when you reach there, and step out of your SUV, the pictorial valley does you in, post that You... More

I had the amazing opportunity to visit Bhutan for a 10 adventure and wanted to give my highest recommendation for our guide, Tshewang Rinchen. He is an extremely knowledgeable guide who helped organize a fantastic and well orchestrated tour balanced with culture and trekking. Tshewang has a complete command of language skills needed to travel in a country where explanations... More

Bhutan is really Shangri-La – magnificent views, interesting culture and above all very courteous people. A visit to Bhutan is organized thru an agency – The agency is responsible for the itinerary, guide, driver, car, hotels and food. The price is fixed but we find out that there are different in the quality of service you get. So choose your... More

If you have the open-minded curiosity for better lifestiles you should explore Bhutan. See Paro (the phenomenal airport), Thimpu (the capital) and Punakha (the old city to the East), but above all, meet the people (English language works fairly well) in towns and country-side, learn about Gross National Happiness as an attractive alternative to traditional GDP, explore the true meaning...
