Bumdrak Trek - Tiger's Nest Monastery Overnight Trek

Great activity planning and everything was well thought out as per our request. They are knowledgeable and made our stay here exceptionally memorable.

Great family vacation. Our guides made us feel like family. Attention to detail. Great company. Highly recommended

I highly recommend Swallowtail Tours for any trip in Bhutan. We had a 12 days tour including Druk Path trek and cultural visits in Paro Valley, Thimpu Valley and Punakha. Kinza and Singye were great guides, always taking care of us and providing wonderful explanations and making the best of our time in Bhutan. The trek staff and our driver were amazing, we felt really welcome and safe during all the trip. And the food was amazing!! Thanks for providing such great experience and wonderful memories that will never forget. Silvia

One of the best local travel agent with exotic experience, best service provider with set of best tour guides. Welcome to Bhutan with Bhutan swallowtail travels for memorable vacation.

I recently completed an 11 day custom cultural and nature tour that included the Bumbrek overnight trek to Tiger's Nest. It was an amazing experience! We were greeted at the airport by our guides, Tshering and Padang, from Swallowtail Travels to begin our adventure. From the very start, Tshering and Padang were welcoming and knowledgeable, providing us with insights into Bhutanese culture and history. They made us feel at home throughout the trip. The hotel selections were great with comfortable rooms, delicious cuisine, and massage services. The Bumbrek trail itself is breathtaking! The landscapes were stunning and challenging but so worth it. Reaching the iconic Tiger's Nest Monastery was a highlight of the trip, and the moment you see it perched on the cliffside is simply magical. Swallowtail Travels did an excellent job organizing our trek. With a group of all level, hiking experience, they were able to accommodate our needs. Due to unexpected weather (wild fires), we experienced a slight change in the itinerary. Tshering provided multiple options which allowed for us to hike Druk trek path. This was a highlight of the trip, hiking to base camp, staying in luxury tent accommodations. We practiced yoga and meditation at sunset over the majestic mountains. Every detail was taken care of to make our experience extra special. Swallowtail prioritize their guests' comfort and experience. The last day I was able to visit a local boutique for some shopping to finish off the memorable experience. If you're looking for an authentic and breathtaking adventure in Bhutan, I highly recommend booking your experience through Swallowtail Travels! Thank you, Tshering and Padang, for an unforgettable experience—I can’t wait to return!

Do not believe the descriptions of the tour guides ... the steps will be at least 7,000 not 700, the cafeteria is not nearby, nor halfway along the route..... if it goes well it is between a quarter and a third of the way. Apart from the above, the experience is exciting and the satisfaction of having done this route (starting at 2,700 m asl and reaching 3,200 m asl) at 78 years old is rewarding. Neglecting the physical effort the route is beautiful, in the middle of lush vegetation, with glimpses and exciting views. Also the visit to the various premises of this hermitage (still inhabited by about twenty monks) is interesting .... you can not photograph inside but it does not matter many images, of this incredible place, remain imprinted in the memory

I can’t say more favorable things for this company, its owner, my guide - Singye. I had the most wonderful 8 days in Bhutan. I cried on the flight home. As a solo female traveler I felt very supported and incredibly safe. Can’t recommend a Leki home stay more as well. Tashi delek!

I have just completed my 2 weeks trip to Bhuthan and I have to admit that this is a unique experience. It is a beautiful country with a lot of breathtaking scenery and beautiful people. Swallowtail agency did an excellent job organising it all. They were very responsive,flexible and accommodating to everything we requested. The two guides, Tshering and Jimmy were very knowledgable and amazing !!! Thank you very much guys. Highly Recommemded....

Great morning trek to the Tigers Nest Monastery. My guide Pema was very informative. The trek was not too difficult and the reward of the spectacular tigers nest monestary perched on the cliff edge at the top was definitely worth it.

Pema Tenzin guided us (spouse and adult daughter) for 6 days throughout W Bhutan with a tilt towards hiking and culture. Pema was excellent as was Ugyen (our driver). Highly recommend visiting Bhutan with this duo and Bhutan Swallowtail Tours. Singye was very helpful with organizing our logistics also.
