Welcome to Bhutan

The guide was very well informed. His ability to spontaneously tell a good tale kept us amused. Staff was always very helpful and worked hard to make us comfortable in all locations. The beauty, scenery and the people were all wonderful. The food for the most part was very good, especially enjoyed the fiddle head ferns and local dishes. It was really fascinating to stay in a country home and experience what life is like for a regular Bhutan family.

Our guide from Yangphel welcomed us with warmth, intelligence, and insight—leading thoughtful discussions on Bhutanese life and religion. From breathtaking drives and countryside hikes to temple treks and vibrant festivals, Bhutan’s beauty and cultural richness truly moved us. Highlights included a special dinner with local businesspeople in Thimphu and colorful dances performed by women in Paro.

The journey was exceptionally well organized and offered a rare chance to engage with a geography, culture, and religion so different from our own. Your flexibility, attention to our interests, and tireless efforts—like finding special items and uncovering local events—made the experience unforgettable.

Bhutan was everything I hoped for and more—breathtaking scenery, soulful treks, and a culture rooted in simplicity, honour, and joy. From singing folk songs on winding roads to dancing with village hosts under starlit skies, every moment felt magical. Our guides cared for us deeply, embodying the true spirit of Gross National Happiness. A journey I’ll never forget.

For the past nine years, Bhutan has been my second home and the team at Yangphel my extended family. Whether trekking solo or with loved ones, each journey has been unforgettable—made seamless by Yangphel’s professionalism, care, and unmatched local knowledge. Their guides have become dear friends, and arriving in Paro to a familiar smile still fills my heart with joy. I’m already dreaming of my next adventure with them.
