Customer Reviews

  • Bhutan Jomolhari Mountain Festival & Trekking Adventure reviewer 1
    · October 21st, 2024
    The Bhutan Jomolhari Mountain Festival & Trekking Adventure was next level fantastic. Our guide, Lobzang, and the crew truly made this experience! Bhutan Acorn set the highest standard on its staff and it made all the difference. The genuine (but not sticky) hospitality and attention to the smallest details for every member of our group defined their goal and our experience. While out of their control, but still incredible, the Jomolhari Festival is something truly special. I felt honored to be a guest at this celebration! Cozy tents, the absolute most amazing food, and did I mention the staff?! This is definitively a five star experience!

      We can drive you to the border town of Phuentsholing. From there, you can cross the border to the Indian side (Jaigaon) and catch private transport. Our guide will accompany you to the Indian side to ensure a safe transit and departure for Darjeeling. We will drive from Paro to Phuentsholing, covering 145km in about 4-4.5 hours. This service costs USD 140, which includes car, guide and lunch.
