    Risha's 6 days trip to Thimphu

    Review for KNG Bhutan Tours and Travel I recently had the pleasure of touring Bhutan with KNG Bhutan Tours and Travels, and I must say, it was a truly memorable and seamless experience. From the very beginning, the planning and coordination were handled with professionalism and care, ensuring we ha
    d nothing to worry about during our journey. A special thanks to Mr. Bimal, the planner, whose attention to detail and round-the-clock availability made the trip incredibly smooth. He was always just a call or message away, ready to assist with any queries or requests, which gave us a lot of comfort throughout the trip. The hotels arranged by KNG were all excellent – each offering clean, spacious rooms with beautiful views that added to the overall experience. Whether it was a quiet morning overlooking the valleys or a cozy evening after a long day of sightseeing, the stays were always relaxing and enjoyable. Our tour guide, Tashi, was knowledgeable, friendly, and deeply passionate about Bhutanese culture and history. His insights added so much depth to each location we visited, and he made sure we understood the significance of each place in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. A big shoutout also to Mr. Subbu, our driver, whose driving skills were impeccable, especially on the winding roads of Bhutan. We always felt safe and comfortable, and his calm demeanor made long journeys feel effortless. Every aspect of the tour – from transportation and accommodations to sightseeing and local experiences – was thoughtfully curated. Thanks to the KNG Bhutan team, we could fully immerse ourselves in the beauty and serenity of Bhutan without any logistical stress. Highly recommended for anyone planning a trip to Bhutan!

    Poorva's 7 days trip to Thimphu

    The experience with the tour operator was extremely smooth. They met the requirement as was requested. Also the discussion on the hotel properties was informative. Unlike other operators they did not show any resistance in booking properties not suggested by them but requested by me. The driver and
    car arranged was also cooperative. The tour guide was also well natured and accompanied us at all places. I will recommend the tour operator for Bhutan trips. Park Hotel in Phuentsholing is not recommended for stay as the breakfast has very limited menu and the mils served is just milk powder in hot milk. They do not have a medical kit in case of any medical emergencies which is very probable as it is a hilly region. The wifi is extremely slow that you can maybe use whatsapp just for chat. Tiger Nest resort does not have a good approach road and also the food service is slow. Post Card Dewa is highly recommended property if it fits your budget. Extremely cordial staff and the chef there is skilled. The food will be catered to your needs. The property is beautiful.

The trip itself was beautifully curated, allowing us to explore the serene beauty of Bhutan while feeling completely at ease.
