Excellent experience in Bhutan with AOT Team

Runny was my initial contact with AOT and she couldn’t of done more to help organise my trip to Bhutan, from advice to
Visas she was always available to answer my queries, even at weekends and evenings
Arrival into Bhutan met by my guides for the week, Migma and Chimi and our driver, we were a group of 9 and for the next 6 days we were totally looked after
From the tour to the accommodations to the food everything was faultless, our guides knowledge was outstanding sharing history and stories about Bhutan and also personal stories about lifestyle in Bhutan. No question was ever left unanswered and no question was too much
Bhutan is a beautiful country, with warm kind hearted people, who couldn’t do enough for you … I left with a tear in my eye… Bhutan you stole my heart, made even more special by Migma and Chimi and the team at AOT
Thank you …. I will be back one day

Fantasitic trip to unique locations.

We decided about a month before we went that we would like to go to a place we had always talked about but until now hadn't done so. After searching the internet, we found Asia Odyssey Travel and Zeva. They helped us to plan a trip called the senior tour which took us from Xining, through Lhasa Tibet onward to Nepal and finally we added Bhutan. I had always wanted to go to Bhutan once I had heard of the Gross National Happiness they sought for their people. From the beginning working with Zeva was a breeze. She helped us plan our trip and kept in touch with us throughout the journey. Asia Odyssey uses local guides for each segment of the trip that have a stake in and live in the culture they share with us. The enthusiasm the guides showed in sharing their history, special places, and unique culture was quite evident and made the experience much more enriching. There was little to no shopping stops unless you chose to do so which left more time to really immerse yourself in the places you were visiting. Zeva as well as the guides were very flexible in their approach which made planning and making the most of trip easy to accomplish. The care and concern were very evident which made for a smooth, safe and enjoyable experience. The communication was excellent and Zeva gave us the tips we needed to get our visa and Tibet travel papers. I cannot recommend their services enough.
