Aniket's 7 days trip to Thimphu

Thank you Sharmila Madam for organizing such a beautiful trip to Bhutan. The hotels you arranged were excellent, and the food was absolutely delicious. Our driver and guide were extremely helpful and made our experience even more enjoyable. While Greenzone Destinations isn't my usual travel agency

for Bhutan tours, this trip has been unforgettable, and I am truly grateful for the effort you put into making it special. Thank you once again for creating such lasting memories for us.

Ysjayathirtha's 9 days trip to Thimphu

Overall the Trip arrangement is good but need to put good Guide who should know respective place history & significance of monuments & places. In our case the guide was not fully aware of Bhutan History. Visiting Tiger's nest.

Nairp's 7 days trip to Thimphu

This was my first ever solo trip and that was to a most silent and slow moving country with the name Bhutan❤️ I went through an agency named Bhutan GNH Heritage Travel - Mr.Thapa. He was the first point of contact to share itenary for my trip and with lots of patience he heard my likes and dislikes

, according to which itenary was presented back to me. There were many revisions and discussions for just 7 days of my trip which turned out to be a most memorable days so far in my 29 years

Rahul's 7 days trip to Thimphu

The trip itself and the agent were quite decent but I've had a terrible experience with the travel triangle contact assigned to me. While booking the trip I used to get calls quite often for completing the booking but after the payments were done, the contact is not helping in sending over the TDS

receipts for the trip.

P's 6 days trip to Thimphu

All went well, but Ms TANDIN is too slow and does not respond to our phone calls After office hours, and on Saturday, Sunday appropriately. It’s very difficult to deal with such a person as your travel agent. I am sorry to say this otherwise all the hotels transport and the trip was a joy. Travel Tr

iangle did an excellent job BHUTAN is a very clean place. Well maintained less population. The rivers are very clean and 60% of the forest in the country fresh air. It is wonderful Trip and you did a great job.

Ms Akansha Singh

Ms's 7 days trip to Thimphu

Overall the trip was good, however there are few improvements which can be done. The travel agent was less punctual. Staying in the river front resort in Paro and visit to Chelela Pass.

It was a good and safe experience as I went on solo trip to bhutan with KNG tours and travels. Bimal ji is the best

Cachetangoel

Cachetangoel's 5 days trip to Thimphu

The driver has not stretched beyond their fixed working hours to showcase us the local market. As hotels were far away from the local market otherwise one could himself visit there. Scenic beauty as a whole of full Bhutan.

Murali Krishnan
