Contact Bhutan Best Travel

This was the Perfect trip from first contact to the end. Every question was answered almost immediately before we arrived and once in Bhutan, we had one of the best guides that I have ever had. Sanguay and our driver, Terine, were always nearby making sure we had an understanding of the culture and history of what we were seeing or getting the best service from our hotel or restaurant. I wouldn’t hesitate using them again or recommending them.

I chose Best Bhutan Travel because it was high on the tripsdvisor ranking - and frankly because their communications were very professional compared to other agencies and individual travel guides I had reached out to. Communication has been fast, crisp and helpful. They were very supportive with the payment which honestly felt so strange to me (you pay Bhutanese agencies through the national Bhutan bank). They took care of the visa, and our return flights from Nepal to Bhutan. We were happy with the suggested itinerary. We spent 12 days together, all the way to Bumthang. On the trip itself we realised it is more of a guideline where to go - with changes possible for e.g. hotel or activities. The latter was notably thanks to our guide and driver who were phenomenal. We had an amazing time with Lotay (guide) and Khandu (driver). They were kind, attentive, knowledgeable and fun to hang out with. They adjusted the itinerary based on our interests* and their experience. We went to the (in)official start of the Paro festival which is held in the "second tiger nest". We were the only Western foreigners and were so welcomed by all locals, and really enjoyed watching the masked dances, with Lotay explaining to us their meanings and purposes. *Our guide was very, very attentive. For example I mentioned quickly that my wife does a lot of arts and crafts. Therefore, we visited a paper making factory and the institution of 13 arts in Timphu. We really appreciated it. We also went to Karaoke twice, and competed in archery and darts. Our visits to the temples were amazing, with Lotay teaching us about tantric Buddhism, and as a very social person, always talked with the monks and shared more insights with us. Along the way we learnt from the head monks and got blessed. Honestly I could go on about all the positive aspects. On the 2nd day I briefly mentioned that this trip was actually our honeymoon. The very evening they congratulated us with wine and cake, and every hotel had some decoration to celebrate our marriage. It was also very important for me that we eat local, Bhutanese food. It's spicy, trust me. This may be an important element to mention in your planning so that restaurants and hotels are made aware. Our guide and driver took care of everything. We were also always fed to keep energy levels up. Honestly, you get the drift, so I wholeheartedly recommend Best Bhutan Travel. Finally, surprisingly, some hotels were very nice and empty, as if they were just booked for us. We were lucky. As a word of advice: the more East you travel, the more you'll spend time in the car, so prepare accordingly your expectations. We did enjoy Trongsa and Bumthang though! Very different to Western Bhutan.

My partner and I visited Bhutan over the course of a week and was wowed by the majestic nature and vibrant culture that Bhutan had to offer. Even though both of us were unfortunate to come down with food poisoning towards the latter half of the trip, we were super well taken care of by our guide Lotay and driver Khandu. Would recommend Bhutan Best Travel for a well curated itinerary and thought through recommendations, but I would pay abit more attention in retrospect to a couple of the dining establishments (which were likely the cause of our stomach upsets)

My husband and I have just completed a 12 day tour with Bhutan Best Travel. We are in our mid-50s and have been travelling most of our adult lives. We have almost always done this independently, so we were a little unsure how we would fare on an organised tour. We needn't have worried. We had an amazing experience of Bhutan, and that was in no small part due to our guide Sangay and driver Tshering. They were incredibly thoughtful and always looking for ways to make our trip special. We had the flexibility to change what we did, when we did it, where we ate, and what we ate. Sangay picked up on things we said during the trip and then incorporated that into our experience. (Eg. We told him early on we liked eating fish, so he organised with some of our hotels some delicious fish meals.) We opted for 3 star hotels and we were very happy with the choices that Bhutan Best Travel made for us. Our experience with the staff at all the hotels was positive, and our rooms were comfortable with great views, usually looking out across a valley at the local dzong. There were so many highlights - the stunning natural scenery, the fauna and flora, the unique architecture, the fascinating history and traditions, the Bhuddist culture and way of life, and the warm and gentle Bhutanese people. We started in Paro and timed our visit in April so we could see the Paro festival and the Rhododendrons in bloom. From Paro, we headed east, visiting Thimpu, Punakha, Trongsa, Jakar (in Bumthang), and Gangtey. We visited dzongs, temples, monasteries, local markets, a local school, a local brewery, a home stay, tried our hand at archery (the national sport) and went on a number of short hikes. A real highlight was the hike up to Tiger's Nest. We started out just before sunrise to beat the crowds to the top and weren't disappointed. It was a magical experience and one not to be missed. Bhutan is a small country, but the challenging geography means a bit of time spent in the car travelling from valley to valley, negotiating narrow roads that cling to steep valley walls, snaking their way up over high passes where yaks graze amongst the Rhododendrons, with distant views of snow capped mountain peaks. Despite the challenging road conditions, we always felt safe with Tshering at the wheel. Our time in the car was spent learning about life in Bhutan, which Sangay and Tshering were happy to share with us. We can't speak more highly of Sangay and Tshering. They went out of their way to make our experience enjoyable. We learnt so much from Sangay and his knowledge of Bhutanese history and culture, and he really enriched our experience as we explored the numerous temples and dzongs that we visited. We really appreciated his willingness to tailor our experience according to our interests. Tshering was so sweet and caring. He was great company and very thoughtful. He drove extra cautiously when my husband was sick with a stomach bug for a couple of days, and constantly checked in to make sure he was OK. Sangay and Tshering made us feel relaxed and at home. We shared many meals with them, and the four of us spent hours in the car together. We developed a great rapport and had a lot of laughs along the way. It's only been a few days, but we are already missing them both. If you are planning a trip to Bhutan, we would both thoroughly recommend Bhutan Best Travel. From our first contact with the office team when we started looking into the trip, through to our final farewell with Sangay and Tshering at the airport, our experience was first rate.

I have been traveling around the world for years. But, this Buhdtan trip is the most memorable one. I loved it so much. The culture and people are so kind, very trustworthy, and good heart. The temples are so antique, the beauty of themself, peaceful and harmony. The arrival landing and departure takeoff of the plane at Paro airport quite an unique experienced. Last but also the very important is the tour company. Mr Nidup is the lead tour guide. He has about 15 assistants working together to guide our group of about 50 people. For the entire trip, we got "no one left behind 😀", even with 50 people disbursed into at least 25 different directions. Seriously, Nidup would not do that. Nidup(the man) and every single one of the Nidup team were kind, patient, cared, supportive. I would go again, and NOT hesitate at all, to Buhdtan with Nidup company and highly recommend anyone to use his company. Thank you so much Mr Nidup and your team made our trip so enjoyable and memorable. Khanh&Leha

In my 30+ years of travel, I have received services from several travel agencies. Most of them are good, but, in my own opinion, none of them can match Bhutan Best Travel (BBT). We have enjoyed a extremely wonderful week in Bhutan, feeling totally relaxed and comfortable. The owner/manager of BBT as well as its team of tour guides and drivers did a fantastic job. I have the feeling that they treated us not only as ordinary clients but really as dear friends or family members. They took care of us in every minute details, ensuring that our needs, no matter how small, are well taken care of. I give a concrete example in my case. One day, I somehow got sick with the stomach flu and could not eat anything for couple days. The team has gone out of their way to help me by cooking some special soup and enlist the help of my wife ( 🙂 ) to make sure that I have enough nutrition to join the Tiger Nest hike later. I will never forget their kindness. Before the trip, I just have a vague idea about Bhutan which is, for me at that time, just another country to visit. But now, through the kindness, professionalism and compassion of the BBT team, I come to love and respect profoundly the country as well as her people. And I wish that I will have another chance to visit this great country and meet our BBT friends again. For those who plan to visit Bhutan, I strongly recommend that they should first contact Mr. Nidup of BBT. I can say without hesitation that they won't be disappointed. I avail myself of this opportunity to present to BBT and its team the expressions of my sincere appreciations, my great gratitude and my best regards. Your good work and kindness will never be forgotten.

Hello! I wanted to write a review here as without having read a review from a guy on this forum named Ori from Portugal, we may not have had the outstanding experience we had. Having quite extensively researched guided tours in Bhutan, my husband and I decided to touch base with Namgay, Ori's recommendation and have a chat with him about arranging a tour for our little family of three. We have been traveling now for many years and have rarely enlisted in guided tours so my husband and I were both a little sceptical initially. However unless you intend to travel only Thimpu and Paro, you must always travel with a guide in Bhutan. Namgay and our driver Kelden (who is a close friend of Namgay) were an absolute ten out of ten for us. Not only did we change our plans about 10 times in the initial planning process, Namgay arranged everything seamlessly which removed all the stress -- he was completely unflappable. Kelden's driving skills were superb which is crucial when traveling for 11 days with your family in a van in Asia. The van was super comfortable and always clean. Kelden drives better than most people I know! We travelled from the far east of Bhutan having crossed the land boarder from India and spent 11 days on our journey west towards Paro. I highly recommend this route if you have the time and funds to do it. While over east, we visited amongst many other things, a remote nomadic village and a small village where the finest weaving in Bhutan is created. Namgay is an incredibly knowledgable guide; he is kind and extremely passionate about his country and culture. The east of Bhutan is without many tourists and is truly unique. Namgay always had amazing food arranged and excellent accommodation lined up for us. By the time we arrived in Paro, we were all firm friends. It was a truly magical experience and we felt so lucky to have stumbled across the recommendation. Our time with Namgay was extremely competitively priced and he provided us with a super professional and personal experience. We will stay in touch with Namgay. He really showed us the true spirituality and beauty of his people and country. Namgay: +975-17625924, E-mail: namwangdi84@gmail.com Sarah, Troy and India. (March 2025)

Had a memorable escapade with my friends to the land of happiness! It was an exhilarating experience with fun filled activities such as scenic hikes, water rafting, archery & darts games. Our guide, Nidup shared great insights to the places we visited and tiredlessly answered all our queries with great patience. He was attentive to our every needs, making sure we had clean rest room to use, food that catered to our preferences ( including lunch & high tea at cafes) and comfortable hotel rooms to rest. We are blessed with a skillful driver, Sangay who ensured our rides are safe & comfortable. The trip was well organised with a good blend of culture, adventure & fun activities! A heartfelt thank to Nidup & Jaclyn for taking good care of us throughout the trip. Kadrin chhe la!

Bhutan is indeed a very beautiful country with untouched nature. From the magnificent mountain peaks to the lush valleys and dense forests of pine trees, the country’s pristine landscapes are truly mesmerising. The spiritual ambience of its monasteries is an eye opener as well. Very thankful to our guide Nidup and our driver Sangay from Bhutan Best Travel who went the extra miles to keep us well fed and make our stay in Bhutan very comfortable. Thankful that our guide had taken us to a few hikes before concurring the more challenging hike, the Tigress Nest which is 3120m above sea level. For a city dweller like me, it’s amazing how reconnecting with nature can bring a sense of peace and clarity, away from the constant hustle and digital distractions.

Our guide, Sangay, and our driver, Norbu, were beyond excellent. But even before arriving in Bhutan we received thorough information from the company, Bhutan's Best. The company was quick to responsive to any questions we asked. Drive and guide met us at the airport and showed us their wonderful country. At every meal they had reserved a table for us and their selection of hotels as we moved around the country was always well chosen. Sangay was always one step ahead...anticipating our needs. Sangay was quite knowledgeable about the culture, religion, and history of Bhutan. Norbu was an excellent driver and, most importantly, a safe driver. We highly recommend the company and this guide/driver team.
