I travel bhutan for 8 Days to do cultural tour and also 3 Day Chelela Trekking. I choose serene to plan and organizing my trips. Everything just fall into the line. Its worth the price, coz i can know much more about cultural and sustanaible travel in Bhutan. Its quite expensive to travel at bhutan, compare to another country in south asia. But i just enjoy the moments , and meeting new peoples.Indeedm recommed this agency to organize your travel in Bhutan.
