    Bhutan was a dream come true, and World Tour Plan made it a reality. They arranged a private trip for my family that was both relaxing and informative. Our guide was gentle, kind, and full of knowledge.

  • Laya Gasa Trek - meet semi-nomadic people reviewer 2
    · July 30th, 2018
    This is the second time I visited Bhutan with World Tour Plan. As always world tour plan services were outstanding. We used same guide ( Mr. CHENCHO). He is very knowledgeable and helpful and friendly person. This time our tour was for 7 days. We visited Thimphu, Paro and Punakha. We asked Chencho to keep our tour slow so that we can go in our own pace. High light of our tour: Attended local festival, stayed in farm house, participated in cooking local food, played local games and ofcourse hot stone bath. Thank you World Tour Plan for the great services. Highly recommended. We would love to come back again. May be in winter month to play with the snow.
