Upon our arrival in Bhutan, we were warmly welcomed by our tour guide, Mr Bhim and our driver, Mr wangchuk. From the moment we met them, we knew we were in good hand. They formed a perfect team, seamlessly working together to ensure our trip was nothing short of amazing. One of the highlight was when they went above and beyond to accommodate our request to visit certain areas not initially in the itinerary.
A true testament to their dedication was when Mr Bhim informed us the night before that certain highway and places of interest would be closed the next day due to the state VIP guests. He promptly picked us up at 6:30am to ensure we avoided any inconvenience. Had we waited until 7am, we would have been stuck at the hotel due to State VIP arrangements. Both Mr Bhim and Mr wangchuk made sure our journey started early and ended at 5pm, maximising our time and experience in Thimphu.
Throughout our trip, both Mr Bhim and Mr Wangchuk went out of their way to make us comfortable. They helped carry our belongings, provided us with umbrella during unpredictable weather, and shared they’d vast knowledge of Bhutanese Buddhism and culture.
A standout moment was trekking to tiger nest, where both Mr Bhim and Mr Wangchuk accompanied us, sharing stories and insight about the place. It was an enriching experience that made the trek even more memorable.
Overall, our journey with Asia odyssey travel was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to the professionalism, dedication and care of Mr Kyle, Mr Bhim and Mr Wangchuk. That turned what could have been challenging situation into seamless experience, ensuring we had the best time exploring the beautiful country of Bhutan. We highly recommend Asia odyssey travel for anyone looking to embark on an unforgettable adventure in Bhutan.
Thank you, Kyle, Bhim and Wangchuk for creating memories that will last a lifetime.
