    Our guide Kinza was amazing and guided us to many places of interest. She even led us to many restaurants to taste the delicious local food. The driver Tashi was very experienced and kept us safe along the winding and narrow mountainous roads. Thank you for a wonderful trip.

    · July 2nd, 2024
    Touring Bhutan with Bhutan Acorn was everything my wife and I wanted in this bucket list experience! Out guide Tashi was very knowledgeable and passionate about his country, culture, and religious/political histories of the country, which made every location much more enjoyable as an educational experience than just sight-seeing without the context. Our driver Sunam was also excellent, safe, funny, and generally pleasant to be around and have meaningful conversations with about Bhutan and life. This tour package was an excellent mix of visiting cultural sites, hiking, and a mix of hotels, a homestay, and camping at Bumdruk above Tiger's Nest! What a fun mix of education, beautiful vistas, wildlife, art, culture, and hiking/adventure! Bhutan is a beautiful and truly unique place in the world, and anyone who wants to visit as we did should highly consider this tour option and Bhutan Acorn if you're looking for a similar mix of experiences and memories.

    · June 10th, 2024
    Had an incredible journey exploring Bhutan’s beautiful culture and landscapes! Karma was very communicative and made the planning process seamless. My guide Norbu took so much time to make sure I was enjoying my trip, explained in thorough detail the history, religion, and culture of Bhutan. The Bumdra trek descending down to Tiger’s Nest monastery was incredibly beautiful. Overall perfectly planned trip thanks to Acorn. Loved the experience so much I decided to return for a trek with them!
