Bhutan Travel Gate made me feel like I was home away from home in the Kingdom of Bhutan! It was a dream come true to see the festival in Thimphu with an knowledgable and kind guide and expert driver - Both of whom became like family to me by the end of the trip. The selected hotels were pretty good ... I would even say it was amazing in Paro (with an awesome view of the Paro fortress)! All the hotel staff on tour were lovely and helpful and you'll always have more food on the table than you can possibly eat. If you have any special requests, Bhutan Travel Gate will do everything in their power to make sure they can accommodate you. Not too long prior to my departure, I reached out to Suraj to ask for an itinerary change. Although it was festival season, he was able to pull some strings and make the necessary changes for me. Thank you so much Suraj for your outstanding professionalism and thank you to all who were involved in making my holiday so special. Highly recommended from a very experienced traveller - You will not regret booking with them. :)
