    Apurva's 4 days trip to Thimphu

    We had a wonderful experience. The overall trip was very good, and we were particularly impressed with the excellent service provided by our cab driver and guide. The hotels in Thimphu and Paro were of high quality and met our expectations. However, we must mention that the last day’s hotel in Phuen
    tsholing was not up to the mark initially. Fortunately, your team was quick to address the issue and arranged for a better hotel, although there were some minor hiccups in the process. Despite this, the overall trip was enjoyable and well-organized. Thank you for your efforts in making our Bhutan journey memorable.
