TID 655-Bhutan Traverse from East to West (March 14-April 1,2013)
Thank you for the great trip from which I am still going through some serious Bhutan withdrawal. From the initial contact with Ugen then Jambay, my interactions with your company were always positive and your efforts considerate.
I wanted a private journey which covered Bhutan from East to West and the itinerary was comprehensive and well planned. My guide Karma Letho and driver Tsering were my eyes and hears into your country with its incredible history deeply interwoven with its unique Buddhist culture which gave me many things to ponder after returning home.
I still shudder when I think back on many of the roads in the East which were more of an endurance test especially the one to Bomdeling. I found the constant use of the horn prior to careening around blind corners with no guard rails and several thousand foot drops to invoke examination of one’s mortality.
I will not miss the night time serenading of the dogs but I will miss the incredible people, geography and spectacle of Bhutan and will return for a trek next time. I look forward to an ice cold Druk 11000 and a bowl of chili cheese and some great conversation again.
