Best tour in a favourite country

My family had an outstanding private tour to Bhutan for 10 days with Excursion to Himalayas. The organisation was excellent, and the program was tailored to our wishes. Our guide, Sonnam, was simply superb in every respect, from his knowledge of Bhutan to his photographic suggestions. The driver, Sencho, was always helpful and very careful on the roads amidst several recent landslides. Both our guide and driver were attentive and kind to my daughters. The countryside is rolling green hills interspersed with high mountains and gorgeous Buddhist architecture. We were privileged to witness three festivals, which showcased some of Bhutan's culture. The festivals were visually spectacular. My daughters have travelled to about 45 countries. Thanks to Excursion to Himalayas, Bhutan is now their favourite country.

Bhutan, for a choosen few

Dear Mindu Bhai, I really don’t know why I delayed my trip to this beautiful country for so long. But as they say, when it has to happen, it will happen. From the moment I landed here, my trip has been nothing short of magical. Having visited so many countries and met people from different walks of life, Bhutan has given me an entirely holistic sense of what life and happiness truly mean. Bhutan is perhaps not for everyone, but it is certainly for those who truly want to be one with nature and feel a part of it. And when it comes to your hospitality, words truly fall short. Tashi and Pema have been more than accommodating with every single request I made—whether it was arriving early to pick me up, keeping the vehicle neat and clean at all times, or stopping wherever I wished. From my rather random request to watch a local football match to stopping for a quick pani puri break, they obliged with such grace and warmth. Tashi, in particular, treated me like family and showed me Bhutan like a true Bhutanese. I could not have asked for a better companion to experience your beautiful country with. Your choice of hotels was absolutely perfect and made this holiday/work trip far more memorable than I could have imagined. And the icing on the cake was my stay at Dawa Hotel, where I was truly pampered to the core with luxury and warmth. Words fail to express the gratitude I feel for you, your hospitality, and the warmth with which you welcomed me. As I sit here at the departure gate, I honestly wish I had a few more days to simply soak in the beauty and serenity of your wonderful country. At this moment, I simply feel truly blessed to have you as a friend and a business partner. It is hard to say adieu, but every good time eventually comes to an end. Till we meet again very soon. Until then, take good care of yourself, and please convey my love and regards to your family as well. With heartfelt gratitude and warm regards, Manu

Operator response

Thank you so much, Manu, for sharing such a heartfelt and wonderful review. Your words truly mean a lot to all of us at Excursion to Himalayas. It was an absolute pleasure having you in Bhutan, and we are delighted to know that your journey was filled with meaningful experiences, beautiful moments, and a genuine connection with our country and its people. Tashi and Pema will be especially happy to hear your kind words. We believe that the little things—whether it is a local football match, a pani puri stop, or simply stopping along the way to enjoy the scenery—often become the most memorable parts of a journey. We are so glad we could make your trip feel personal and comfortable. It was also our pleasure to carefully select the hotels and arrangements for your stay, and we are delighted that you enjoyed your time at Dawa Hotel. More than anything, we are grateful that your visit to Bhutan has grown into a friendship and a lasting connection. Bhutan may be a small country, but we are fortunate to welcome wonderful people like you who leave a little of their warmth behind. Thank you once again for trusting us with your journey. We look forward to welcoming you back to Bhutan very soon—hopefully with a few extra days this time! Until then, wishing you safe travels and happiness wherever your journey takes you. Our warm regards to you and your family.

A special thank you to our guide and driver, who started this journey as strangers but now feel like family. They didn’t just do their jobs—they genuinely cared for us, looked after us, shared countless stories, made us laugh, and made every day of this trip comfortable and memorable. What made this trip special wasn’t just Bhutan’s beautiful views, but also its people. Everyone was so kind, respectful, and disciplined.

Private Journey

Amazing experience from start to finish! The country itself is incredible, and our guide Ugyen and driver Tshering made it even better. They were flexible with our schedule while still ensuring we hit all the major highlights. We loved the thoughtful touch of providing traditional costumes for photos—it made the experience feel extra special. The cultural stories they shared gave us a deeper understanding of daily life and traditions. The owner, Mindu, even stopped by to personally meet us and gave us a souvenir, which was such a kind gesture. His encouragement motivated me to complete the full hike to Tiger’s Nest, something I wasn’t sure I could do. Having Nguyen hike with us made a big difference—we never felt rushed and were able to take our time. Climbing Tiger’s Nest was the highlight of the entire trip for me. We are extremely satisfied with this private tour and truly appreciated Mindu’s patience and prompt communication before the trip. Highly recommend!

It was wonderful meeting you in person, and I’m especially happy to hear that you completed the full hike to Tiger’s Nest! That is a remarkable achievement, and I admire your determination. Knowing that this became the highlight of your trip truly makes us proud. Thank you as well for your kind words about our communication and planning process. Your appreciation means a lot to our entire team. We are extremely grateful for your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Bhutan again in the future.

Short trip to Bhutan

I recently had a short but memorable trip to Bhutan. It was planned by Excursion to Himalayas Tours. The experience was seamless. I had a guide (Tashi) who was extremely knowledgeable and ensured that I made the most of my short trip to Bhutan. A highlight of the journey was the hike up to the iconic Tiger’s Nest Monastery, which was breathtaking and truly worth the effort. I also explored Thimphu. Overall, it was an excellent experience. I highly recommend Excursion to Himalayas Tours for a well-organised and enriching Bhutan experience.
