Bhutan Vacation Packages by Travel Styles

For my Bhutan trip I chose Asia Odyssey Travel (AOT) because searching in the web, they seemed to offer the best value for money. And now after having realised the trip with them I did not experience any bit of disappointment; on the contrary, my short 4 nights’ trip exceeded my expectations. I would like to thank everybody who contributed to my excellent travel experience, in particular to:

-Ms. Cici, my travel counselor at AOT, who designed my trip and answered all my questions promptly with great kindness and always a positive attitude.
-My local Bhutanese tour guide Mr. Phurba and my driver Mr. Nimado (apologies if I made spelling mistakes in the names), who did their best to not to leave out any elements from my original itinerary although my arrival plane (Drukair) had a delay of almost 5 hours. Mr. Phurba is a very experienced and knowledgeable tour guide, especially about Buddhism, who also knows the best spots for a photo!
-Entire staff of AOT as well as the local Bhutanese tour agency who planned and executed the trip. I was very happy with my hotels and my restaurants, especially those for lunch. Thanks for everything again

Going to Bhutan was a dream that I just recently realized. The whole trip exceeded my expectations from the beginning with the help of Alan from AsiaOdyssey until on the spot with my wonderful friends Sangay and Yeshi. Everything was perfectly organized and I am more than delighted.

First of all going to Bhutan is a little more complicated than another country and you need an agency that organizes this perfectly for you. Once there you must be accompanied by a driver and a guide who will introduce you to their country and culture!

A trip to Bhutan not only allows you to discover incredibly magnificent landscapes, a very rich culture with an interesting history and spirituality, delicious food and most of all extremely kind people.
Are people from Bhutan actually the happiest in the world? I can say that from what I have seen and what I was able to exchange I can say yes.

This country means a lot to me, I loved every moment spent there and I have a lot of affection for the people I was able to meet. I hope to return with my family soon again! Again I would like to thank Alan from AsiaOdyssey for helping me organize this trip for being at my disposal even on the weekend and to my friends Sangay and Yeshi in Bhutan for the extraordinary trip and moments!

A unique experience in a country with an incredible beauty, with a population whose smile never leaves their faces! I highly recommend a trip to Bhutan, you will not be disappointed!

They say that one main reason to visit Bhutan, is to attend a local Bhutanese festival, so I plan my whole trip to this country around a characteristic local festival, the Jambay Lhakhang Drup festival, which consider to be one of the most sacred and unique festivals in Bhutan. This year, 2023, the festival was organized from 28th of October until 1st November.

Having this event as a core of my trip and after discovering Asia Odyssey Travel I started to communicate with a agent, Isaac, to plan my trip. After exchanging many emails we finally settled on a 11 days 10 nights itinerary that included the most highlights of Bhutan, particularly west and center Bhutan. Isaac proved to be a very patient and understanding agent, capable to manage all my needs to this trip. Originally the trip was planned as a two persons trip, but almost last minute my companion friend got ill and I was left alone. Isaac and Asia Odyssey Travel was so understanding about the situation and return all my friends’ money. This alone is very surprising and indeed an act of true understanding.

Since I became a solo traveler, after arriving in Bhutan and met with my tour guide, Kinga, and our driver, Nima, we discussed about some changes that I wanted to make in the itinerary and adding more activities and sightseeing. After a couple of hours of talks we concluded to a final itinerary and activities which they enriched my total experience in Bhutan. The cooperation and the relation with my tour guide and driver was so excellent and constructive.

Although going to Bhutan is a little more complicated than another country, it only can be reached by certain airports and you can only fly with local Bhutanese airlines, the country itself is really beautiful, and is so nice that wasn't so crowded of tourists and I had the opportunity to enjoy it more. The food was plenty and delicious. I love ethnic food so it was to my taste and didn't have any problem. Bhutan also is a delight for hikers, so many paths to hike with different levels of difficulty. I really enjoyed all the hikes that we did, and it was quite a lot!

And of course the highlight of my trip was my presence to the Jambay Lhakhang Drup festival, especially on the first day, at night, where I had the opportunity to see true traditional customs and a unique bonfire and the famous naked dance of the monks! You have to be there to understand…. I would like to thank Isaac from Asia Odyssey Travel for helping me organize this trip, for being at my disposal even on the weekends, replying almost immediately to my mails and to my tour guide Kinga and our driver Nima in Bhutan for their contribution to my most pleasant trip in Bhutan.

In general, a unique experience, I highly recommend a trip to Bhutan, you will not be disappointed!
