  First of all, we had a wonderful trip to Bhutan. The World Tour crew were experienced professionals and took great care of us. Our guide was Tanzin who was not only good with the trails but very knowledgeable about the temples and monasteries that we visited and provided great commentary on Bhutan and its people. We not only got a great trek, but learned a lot about our host country. The camp accommodations were very comfortable and the food was fantastic. Bhutanese cuisine utilizes their local peppers and pepper sauces, and the camp food was cooked in Bhutanese style. I would also like to note that our trip was complicated because we had mechanical problems with 2 of our aircraft and came to the trek 2 days late. The World Tour people worked with us to ensure we maximized our time in Bhutan and we are very grateful for that. Bhutan is a wonderful country. It’s very clean and with the mountains reminds me of Switzerland (with the chalets traded out for Bhutanese architecture). The people are very friendly. Most spoke excellent English and everyone we met asked about our trip and genuinely wanted us to have a good experience. We highly recommend a trip to Bhutan, either for a trek or just to visit a beautiful country. Be sure to check out our friends at World Tour Plan for a great experience.Show more

  My husband, our two children (ages 8 and 12), and I completed the 9 days Bhutan Drukpath Trek in May. It was a truly wonderful experience. To my surprise, our youngest kept up with us throughout and enjoyed the trek just as much as we did. The trail was well-maintained, and our cook, Leki, prepared fresh, delicious meals throughout. On our second last night, he baked a cake, a memorable treat in the middle of the mountains! A big thank you to World Tour Plan for arranging such a flexible and well-organized package for our family. Our guide, Tenzin, was excellent, knowledgeable, experienced, and incredibly thoughtful. We will return to Bhutan in the future. Highly recommended agency for anyone planning a trip to Bhutan.Show more

  I have wanted to go to Bhutan for some time and my first visit planned by World Tour Plan exceeded all of my expectations. They were able to accommodate changing the itinerary of the Drum Trek path to 4 days instead of 5 days due to our travel schedules. When visiting the towns of Paro and Thimphu, our guide (Chencho) was highly knowledgeable and shared Bhutan’s history, Buddhism, and current events, and he and our driver (Singye) took us around to key attractions (museums, palace, monasteries, etc). The hiking trek was incredible, where we hiked through the mountains and saw once in a lifetime views. The trek itself was moderate and we had an entire team of our guide, a chef, and a mule “driver” who brought all the camping gear. Our trip to Bhutan was life changing, and I highly recommend World Tour Plan if you plan on going.Show more

  The trip was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I walked out of the Paro airport to when I was dropped off seven days later, I was truly taken care of. The accommodations in Paro for three nights was lovely; breakfast was varied, the view from my room was great, and the staff was kind. During the days, my guide (Chencho) always knew what he was talking about at every stop on the tour, and he also kept up with my questions while sightseeing and my pace while trekking. When I would passingly mention something I wanted to see or do, they'd bend over backwards to make sure I could have that experience (for example, they lengthened the kms each day on the trek so I'd have more time in Thimphu the last day, and dinner my last night was at a homestay instead of a regular restaurant). My driver (Ben) was also always keen to go out of his way to show me something he thought I'd find interesting. I debated whether as a solo woman I would be comfortable on this trip, and I definitely was; I never felt uncomfortable for a second. I also was not sure about spending the bulk of my trip trekking, but the staff made it so easy for me to just enjoy (tent already set when I arrived a camp, delicious food each meal, etc). The views were spectacular for the whole trek, and I ended up vastly preferring that to the days we were in the "cities", as there is not much to do in the cities anyway and while trekking you get to see such incredible nature. One minute we'd be hiking up a rocky hill, the next we'd be in a pasture full of wildflowers, and an hour later I would be wading in a glacial lake. I thought I'd only go to Bhutan once in my life, but this experience has made it clear that I'll have to go back someday.Show more

  Majestic himalayas, magnificent fotress and vibrant biodiversity greeted me the very moment i landed on the Bhutanese soil. My trip to Bhutan is a casket of memories that i will cherish in my life. My tour of Bhutan was supplemented with utmost hispitality and case by my agent.they took intensive care to arrange my lodging and my guide made sure to make me comfortable and worthwhile in an alien world. Although Bhutan is progressing in her developmental tasks,the kind of love for their environment and culture was what took me aback.I visited different places like Thimphu, Paro and Punakha and everywhere I went, I was entertained by the beauty of the nature;green trees and tall mountains are always there by one's side to reassure that love of mother nature is always there for us.And one can feel that love,everytime one breathes in,I could feel it.There was something totally different in the air,I don't know how to describe it but it was rejuvenating. I was also enthralled to see the unique tradition and culture of Bhutan and I really liked their arts and crafts.I never knew there were so many subtle meanings behind every piece of art. To the eyes that are accustomed in seeing sky scrapers and metros.A visit to this country will make one realise what one is missing amidst head on civilization. I will always be grateful to my agent,World Tour Plan and my guide for making my trip more than just a mere visit but a rich experience to cherish forever.It is a gift that I want to present my family with a next visit to this land of happiness.Show more
