Sikkim Bhutan Custom Trip Mar 21- April 03, 2010
Our guide in Sikkim and Darjeeling was also very good. We gained a lot of information about the country. The driver was very adept at handling the car in a difficult driving situation. He was very patient and a safe driver. The only problem we had was on arrival from Dubai into Delhi. There was no one to meet us at the airport. I was able to reach the agent on his cell and he apologized and had us take a taxi to the Ashok Country Resort. The hotel was fair. He did come early the next morning to take us to the Druk flight. The Norkhill Hotel was very good but its sister hotel the Elgin was fair.
Overall, however, we had an enjoyable and informative time.

Bhutan Part.
We are on our way back home having completed the arrangements with you. Just wanted you to know that the Bhutan portion of our trip was teriffic!

Our tour guide, Tshewang Rinchen was outstanding. His years of experience professionalism, knowledge, pleasant personality and timeliness were just great. He took real good care of us and was always there prior to meals and tour times ready to go. We learned a lot and thouroughly enjoyed the experience. Our driver was also excellent.

Very patient in his driving and extremely polite with us. The hotels all worked out ok. In terms of service the Taj Tashi and the Punatsangchhu Cottages were both excellent. The Tenzling Hotel was good. The Druk Hotel in Phuentsholing, however, had problems. We were the only customers. There was noise of construction, toilet didn’t work properly, hot water required special effort to get them to turn on the flow from the main water heater. The next morning it was off again. The staff wasn’t very friendly especially as compared to the other hotels where they tried hard to smile and be helpful. Regards.
