From the moment I booked this trip I was impressed. The Himalayan Glacier Trekking company were i constant contact with me and if I send an email they responded to me almost immediately. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I was picked up and greeted by a friendly team member and personally greeted and farewelled by senior members of the company. My tour guide was amazing and even though I was the only person on my tour nothing was rushed and all my questions were answered. I would definitely use these guys again.Show more

  At this time it is still uncertain whether Bhutan will be fully open for tourists without quarantine due to covid19. Anyone can travel in Bhutan but need to stay 14 days of strict quarantine. Bhutan is easing restrictions from July 2022, June to August are not recommended to travel to Bhutan due to rainy seasons, please plan September to May.
