Bhutan is an amazing country, a country whose people, beliefs, kindness and true caring is hard to find when’s travelling nowadays. It is a country that is a perfect holiday for anyone with the right tour company to make the arrangements, we travelled with Wind Horse Tours, they are amazing!!!, going above and beyond.

My husband and I travelled for 3 weeks in Bhutan, we travelled in the East to start, attending the Gomphu Kora festival, then we went on a six day trek to Merak and Sakteng. The trek was more than words can describe!!! We were looked after like royalty, every small detail was looked after and Wind Horse did an excellent job of changing the intinerary to better reflect what our needs were. All the equipment was in great condition, and the Pack horses were in good shape as well. The meals were very satisfying and tasted superb. All of our needs and attentions were looked after. The trek was outstanding, every day , different flora and fauna, the Brokpa people were so very very interesting.we felt privileged to be there.

After the trek was completed we travelled from the East to the West,ending up in Paro, where we flew out with Druk Airlines. The country is filled with beautiful temples and breathtaking vistas. The accommodations were very comfortable and we always felt safe and secure. We felt honoured to be able to visit this country and be part of their traditions and beliefs, not just something put on for tourists.

Wind Horse tours, from the very beginning of our travel planning, with their prompt and thorough replies, to their great group of working guides and careful drivers ( Pema , our awesome guide and Tinzin our very cautious driver) to their great choices for accommodations. And restaurants are a top notch tour company, I believe the very best in Bhutan. Travel to Bhutan ……don’t just take a trip, …let the trip take you.
