A Bhutan journey stays with you in different ways. Some guests remember the mountain paths and monasteries. Others speak of the people they met, the thoughtful guides and the welcome they received.
These are selections from messages shared by guests who travelled with Bhutan Lhayul Tours & Travels over the years. We have preserved their words, with shorter extracts clearly presented as such.
I never felt as a tourist visiting a new place but rather as a friend visiting old friends in a new setting.
“Although Bhutan is a gorgeous and magical place to visit (and I plan to return) the best part of my trip was making new friends and feeling so genuinely cared for and welcomed.”
