What people love about Laya Gasa Trek Tours
- All Inclusive Bhutan Tour- 5 Days (Explore Paro, Thimphu and Punakha)
The tour itself was fabulous, our guide Pratap was really friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and flexible to our needs. He made sure we were engaged and moving at a pace that suited our group and always knew when an ice cream was required! I’d highly recommended him as a guide for others. Nidup our driver was a very safe driver, and he made sure we were comfortable all the time. The van had plenty of space for luggage as well. I had the standard hotels and they were all great, beautiful views, friendly staff and delicious plentiful food.

We traveled this trip on December 2019. I wanted to drop you a line to thank you for organising such an amazing holiday. I was very pleased with all of our lodging, guides, and each accommodation offering a unique experience and highlighting the natural wonders of its location. If you are considering this tour - just do it. You won't have any regrets.” I would say thank to MTA Team

An enjoyable experience. But getting the visa was challenging and the high cost of the permit was a significant dampener. Also the tour starting and ending in Kathmandu was unnecessary and did not enhance the experience. We were very well looked after and our guide Tashi worked hard to allow us to get the most out of our visit. Tiger’s Nest was a truly exceptional experience.
