Back in Switzerland our
thoughts are going every day to Bhutan. The trip together
with Bhutan-Journeys was one of the most beautiful
adventures for us. It will be the most precious compliment
for an agency, when the feeling to belonging continues and
the desire is present to do as soon as possible an other
visit in the wonderful country of dragon.
We get to know the country during three weeks together with
Sonam and Tashi traveling from west to east. We learned a
lot about culture, religion, Flora and Fauna.
The two guides where very competent, flexible and careful to
the wellbeing of the tourists. Tashi is speaking German and
Sonam speaks English in an excellent way.
Sonam is an expert of Buddhism and knows a lot about the
Bhutanese culture. He has a lot of relations to the people
and to the monasteries and the government. This fact makes
exciting the traveling.
The visit in a valley where the Bhutanese people cultivates
buckwheat was a culmination point for us. Buckwheat is
produced in only one valley in our country Switzerland, in
Val Poschiavo, where Antonio is coming from. We eat some
food specialties with buckwheat in a monastery and could
enjoy the intensive culture exchange.
We recommend Sonam and Bhutan Journeys Agency sincere and
are ready to speak about our experiences in the unique
country.

A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. . . and we are glad that we took it with Bhutan Journeys.
We were fortunate to visit Bhutan in September 2007 for six days, guided and organized by Bhutan Journeys. Never has a country so exceeded my expectations, so entranced me with its unique mix of ancient history, rich culture, physical beauty and compelling, colorful religious festival. Our 6-day itinerary was enjoyable and unforgettable.
Our guide was Sonam, knowledgeable, friendly, and accessible. He knows Bhutan, its present and its past, its culture and its fragile beauty.Also, he knows everybody, which is helpful, convenient and practical.
We had a very reliable and comfortable SUV throughout the trip and our driver, Ugyen, is also such a charming and friendly man to be around. He knows the best spot to take pictures and is very knowledgeable about Buddhism. His driving style is convincing, especially in some of the curvy and bumpy mountain road.
Sonam did a wonderful job of planning our trip to Bhutan. Prior to the departure of our trip, we explored & discussed many different options for our trip via emails. He always answered all our emails and questions promptly. He made sure we experienced the best of the best of hotel rooms, restaurants, and entertainment. He’s so thoughtful on many things, like organizing a surprise birthday party for my husband with Sonam’s friends and made us feel like home in Bhutan. A trip with him was like a trip with an old friend. We have never encountered anything but friendliness, honesty, good humor and hospitality. We had a great time and traveling experience in Bhutan. We highly recommend Bhutan Journeys for all your Bhutan travel needs. Be prepared to be amazed by this beautiful country.

Our ten day trip through Bhutan was a truly amazing experience. Bhutan is a beautiful kingdom and thanks to our excellent guide Tsheten, we could explore it thoroughly. Tsheten took us to charming places, telling about the country and its people, and wonderfully survived our never relenting stream of questions :-)
It was great to have someone around who knows so much about Bhutanese culture, religion and wildlife! It was fun traveling with him, and we
appreciate how he managed to take into account our impulsive wishes
and suggestions, making our journey even better. Bhutan Journeys treated us as if we were princes, providing lodges in the best places, gorgeous Bhutanese meals, and, especially, doing everything they can to make our stay even more perfect. We would definitely recommend Bhutan Journeys to everyone!
Thank you Tsheten, for conveying the love for your country on us!
