    Hi Jakub, thank you so much for your comment regarding your tour to Bhutan. Will take your feedback positively and will try to work more on accommodation and meals. But as its because of limitation of our government tourism policy, so we have to offer all our guests 3 star hotels and buffet meals, but you also have an option to upgrade your accommodation paying few extra amount for up gradation and meals also you can go with a la carte. Will work more on your feedback and also will inform the concern authority regarding this. will love to see you back in Bhutan in near future. :)
