TourRadar in conjunction with their local partner, worldtourplan.com created a memorable experience for us. It was a great mix between culture with visits to temples and monasteries, nature walks, festivals and interactive with our wonderful guide, Kimley Tenzin. Sunita even provided local costumes for us to participate in the festivities for the black neck crane festival. I highly recommend this team.Show more

I returned home a few weeks ago, and writing this testimony feels like a must. I was incredibly well taken care of by the World Tour Plan team when I suffered from altitude sickness. They were kind and considerate enough to adjust the itinerary to suit my condition, even modifying our diet to help me recover more comfortably. Thanks to their care, I didn’t miss out on the experience I came for. I’m truly grateful to both the team and the company for their exceptional support and compassion throughout the journey. I will definitely be coming back and have already recommended your company to my friends and family. Thank you, forever indebted with gratitude.

Bhutan has so much to offer: breathtaking scenery, peaceful monasteries/temples, beautiful fortresses, friendliest people, history, and unique food. World Tour Plan makes your time in and traverse through Bhutan seamless. They were very responsive to questions before and after booking. They accommodated special requests such as visiting a festival or stops not listed in the itinerary. The nine day itinerary in Bhutan was perfectly planned and I truly enjoyed each and every site visited. Namgay, guide, and Yeshi, driver, were wonderful. They took care of us like family and always made sure we were well taken care of. My time in Bhutan was magical and relaxing and World Tour Plan’s expert planning, Namgay, and Yeshi ensured I had that full experience. Highly recommend!Show more

I was grateful for the flexibility as I wanted more hiking and my guide, Singye was very accommodating. He was extremely knowledgeable of the sites, history and customs and each day was a pleasure. The nature was amazing. The accommodation was excellent and located in the most scenic places. The itinerary was well paced. I'm so happy I was able to fulfill my dreams of visiting Bhutan and want to say a big thanks to my guide and driver, Singye and Dorji.Show more

What a great stay it was! Me and my family we reached back from the trip and i cant imagine how beautiful the stay was. We were warmly welcomed by the guide at the airport. The guide and the driver was very humble. since the beginning of the trip it went as planned in the itinerary. The drive from the airport to the capital was very soothing to eyes, we visited Paro, Thimphu, phunakha, phobjika valley too and the experience was breath taking. The people and the places are so rooted to their culture and tradition. The places were very neat and clean, the food was something we looked forward to and it lived up to the expectation. since the tour was for 13 days and Luckily Thimphu Tshechu was being held when we were in capital SO we wanted to extent our stay for 3 more days to attend the festival and the tour operator did all the necessary arrangements in the nick of time. the festival was colorful and meaningful. sadly the stay had to end but the memories me and my family made there will always be cherished we were very satisfied with the services rendered by World tour plan and would definitely recommend them if you are planning to visit Bhutan. Its a great place for travel gateway with family and friends. Thank you world tour plan for making this trip a success.Show more
