    · April 5th, 2025
    My friend and I were thrilled to have successfully completed the Kingdom in a Cloud tour package by World Tour Plan. The tour offered a perfect blend of cultural immersion, festivals, hiking, and meaningful interactions with locals. We had also requested a farmhouse stay for one night in Phobjikha, and it turned out to be a truly unique experience. Despite staying with complete strangers, it felt just like being with family, warm, accommodating, and incredibly hospitable. The Bumdra and Lungtsuche hikes were the highlights of the trip, the cherry on top. It was a soul awakening journey, and we’re deeply grateful for it. Highly recommended tour company and this package.

    Asked on July 12th, 2025

    Any spring 2026 dates? Is the Tango Monastery aka Tiger's Nest?

    Tour Details
    • World Tour PlanOperatorWritten July 2025

      Yes, we can certainly organize trips for Spring 2026. Kindly let us know your preferred month or travel dates, and we'll be happy to share suitable options and availability. Also, just to clarify — the famous Tiger's Nest Monastery is actually called Paro Taktsang, located in Paro. Tango Monastery is a different monastery located near Thimphu, Bhutan's capital. Both are beautiful and significant, and we'd be glad to include either (or both!) in your itinerary based on your interests.

    Pauline

    Asked on June 9th, 2025

    I am a solo traveller. I'm happy to share with another woman. Is that possible! How much is the single supplement?

    Single supplement
    • World Tour PlanOperatorWritten June 2025

      Yes, we can certainly arrange for you to share a room with another solo female traveller, subject to availability. We'll do our best to match you with a suitable roommate. If you prefer to have a room to yourself, the single supplement for this tour is US$4,242

    • P

      Pauline

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      I have an additional question for you. Do we carry our complete pack everyday? Is there an option to hike with pnly a day pack?

    • World Tour PlanOperatorWritten June 2025

      Yes, we do have a pony and a guide available. You won't need to carry your complete pack every day — you can hike with just a day pack while the rest of your luggage is carried by the pony.

    • P

      Pauline

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      Some clarification, please. Details of your tour in tourradar said "private room". Do you mean a room for one person? If I do not need a single room, do I have to pay the single supplement if there is no other solo female traveler? I find it difficult to work out how much walking is involved. Mostly you give a time estimate in hours do no detail of the actual distance or elevation gain. We do not appear to be camping so it is at all necessary to carry more than a day pack?

    • World Tour PlanOperatorWritten June 2025

      Yes, "private room" means you will have your own room, not shared with any unknown person. There is no extra cost or single supplement required for this – it's included in the package. As for the walking, it's very relaxed – typically 1 to 2 hours a day, more of a leisurely walk than a strenuous hike. We've kept it light so you can truly enjoy the surroundings without any pressure. You only need to carry a small day pack with your personal essentials like water, sunscreen, or camera. If at any point it feels too heavy, your guide will be happy to help carry it for you.

    Melissa

    Asked on June 21st, 2024

    We are interested in the Kingdom in the Clouds tour. We like the mix of culture & hiking. I have a few questions. How many people are usually on the tour? Is it possible to customize the tour? Maybe adding a couple days to see the Bumthang valley?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • World Tour PlanOperatorWritten June 2024

      As this trip is a private trip so you will be accompanied by your professional guide and licensed driver. We can add Bumthang if you extend 3 days more and make it as 14 days trip.
