Trans Bhutan Trail - Western Highlights reviews
Read holiday reviews by Mountain Kingdoms travellers.
From the start the trip was extremely well organised - including in relation to the stop over in Nepal. The hotels in both locations were of extremely good quality and all those connected with the trip - both at home and abroad - were knowledgeable, quick and efficient, catering for all my needs. The itinerary, whilst testing at times, gave a good flavour of Bhutan, its culture and people.
What a fantastic trip. I have wanted to visit Bhutan for some time and was not disappointed. We had a wonderful guide Karma who ensured we got the most from the experience. I really enjoyed walking parts of the trans Bhutan trail and camping. The hotels were all very nice and the food was great. I would definitely recommend this trip.
The things I most enjoyed: A beautiful part of the world to walk. I never tired of the artwork on all the buildings, whether they were people's homes or amazing temples. The preserved heritage sites. The hotels were wonderful but i really preferred the couple of nights camping. Our visit to a homestay was very special. Bhutanese people were unfailingly charming and helpful. Our guide and driver were both first class.
The people and culture of Bhutan were truly inspirational, and the guide was able to explain Buddism very well. He took us to all sorts of places and that were not in the itinerary. Mountain Kingdoms Guides and Drivers were excellent, especially Karma, and they insured my safety and treatment when I contracted dysentery. The landscapes and views were wonderful.
We were totally blown away by Bhutan, what a privilege to visit such a wonderful country. We were very fortunate in that our guide was very experienced and as there was only the two of us, he could adapt the trekking to suit our needs. Some of the trails hadnt been used in a while which gave a pioneer feel to the walks, we rarely met anyone else using the trails. Everything was well organised and we were always made to feel very welcome wherever we went. Highly recommended this trip.
