    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.

    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

    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.
