    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.

    I had the most amazing time while visiting Bhutan with Acorn. My guide, Lobzang, and my driver, Tshering, were the kindest, friendliest, most welcoming, and nicest human beings. They made my trip truly special, and I feel grateful and happy to have met them and to have explored this beautiful country with them. Our days were filled with joy, laughter, beautiful landscapes, nature, hikes, history, spirituality, culture, fun facts, and amazing Bhutanese cuisine. I loved every moment of my journey. Lobzang was super knowledgeable and always shared his genuine passion for Bhutan in a very attentive and meaningful manner. He brought every place we visited to life and ensured I was well prepared for our Tiger’s Nest hike. Tshering always made sure we got everywhere safely. His driving skills were outstanding on even the most winding roads, and he was super attentive and kind. Both Lobzang and Tshering always took proper care to ensure everything ran smoothly. This has been one of the best trips of my life, and they played a big part in that!

    We had a fabulous time in Bhutan because of our amazing tour guides. Sanom and Zhangpo. They made the entire trip enjoyable and comfortable. This was our first trip to Bhutan and we were a bit apprehensive.After meeting and spending time with our ‘2 fellas’ , we were completely at ease . The expertise and knowledge both have and conveyed to us was very valuable. Sanom’s, as well as Zhangpo’s personalities were like traveling with family. Thanks again for helping us have a trip of a lifetime. Sandra Pace and Uwe Vieille

    Just wondering when is the Laya festival in 2024 and if you would attend also this festival with one of the tours during the Jomolhari Lay Gasa trek?

    Tour Details

      If you book this tour departing on October 12, you will reach Laya for the festival on October 23-24. If there are no other guests booking on the same dates, then you have to be prepared to do this trip solo. We will of course provide a mountain guide and trekking crew.
