Arun's 7 days trip to Bhutan

Trip planning by travel triangle was good. But on our way back one of the vehicles did not reach in time, the agent did not keep up his promise to meet us and take feedback. He was never available on the phone. Hotel Alem in Phuentsholing was not up to the mark Oarovilla hotel in Thimphu, Pema karpo in Punakha and Khamsum in Paro were very good Driver Dilip Gurung did excellent job. Guide Pema was a very good person but needs to improve his guideing skills Bhutan is a must visit country. Humble and happy people, majestic mountains, enchanting valleys, unending greenery, mystic monasteries, zongs everything there has left a permanent mark in our hearts. Long live Bhutan.

Prakhar's 6 days trip to Bhutan

This was our first family trip to Bhutan and we had a wonderful time there. Our trip was organised by Green Zone destination. From the onset l, Sharmila was prompt and responsive. She was able to understand our requirements and created a custom itinerary for us. Our assigned driver and guide were also very friendly and knowledgeable. They shared with us the history of Bhutan, it's rich cultural heritage and religious significance. Our itinerary was 5 nights long which covered Thimphu, Punakha, Paro returning via Phutenshilong. During our visit, the weather was on our side and we visited all major attractions. We particularly liked the Punakha Dzong, Suspension Bridge, Tiger's nest and Paro cultural museum. The hike to Tiger's nest was the highlight of our trip. All our accomodations were comfortable and the rooms had picturesque views. My wife and I were also celebrating our wedding anniversary. The Green Zone destination team surprised us with a cake and decorated our room. This was a very kind gesture and it made our day all the more special. Additionally, during the trip my mother had forgotten her jacket in one of the hotels we were staying and the Green Zone destination team went out of the way to fetch it and deliver it to us enroute. Overall, we had a wonderful time and have cherished memories of our visit to Bhutan. Kudos to the Green Zone destination team for organising our trip and being on top of everything. I strongly recommend them for Bhutan travel requirements.

Chaitra's 8 days trip to Bhutan

It was a good trip with a few hiccups. To start with, Vehicles picked up from Bagdogra and also drop back were in a pathetic condition. Hi ace in Bhutan was also average with no leg space, torn seats. However the driver and the guide were extremely good, helpful and informative. The issue with the vehicle became secondary because of the friendly guide Wangpo and driver Jimmy. Hotels: Lotus villa - very good. Tashi yid wong - Good but food is below average. Lobesa - it is a very old hotel. Rooms and furniture look mediocre . They initially provided rooms with no view in basement. Upon escalating to the agent they provided the rooms with the best way for the next day. Food and people are best. They also organised a picnic lunch by Punakha Dong which was a a very memorable experience. We had worst experience in Lhayayel resort in Paro. Best to avoid this. Had to change to a new hotel after all day of travelling in the night at 8pm. About hotels , the travel agent could have done a better job in verifying the room quality for the price we had paid. Sightseeing : we stayed for 8days however felt short to cover the itinerary. Would have been great if the agent had suggested us to atleast take one way back from Paro directly to save two days of just travel. Overall it was a pleasant experience. Loved the country and the people. Phobjikha Valley

Dimple's 8 days trip to Bhutan

I had a wonderful experience during my recent trip to Bhutan. The behavior and politeness of the guide, driver, and hotel staff were exceptional. I am truly impressed by the beauty of Bhutan—it's such a beautiful country. GBS Tour and Travel organized my itinerary flawlessly and everything went smoothly. I will definitely recommend them to my friends. Both the guide and driver provided excellent support during our journey and trekking, assisting us every step of the way. Regarding the hotels, while some bedsheets weren't changed, the views from the hotel rooms were breathtaking. Particularly, the view from the Punakha hotel was amazing

Kallol's 7 days trip to Bhutan

We had a very pleasant honeymoon. It will always be memorable in the best possible way. We had 7 days trip to thimpu, punakha and paro. Deki from AD tours helped us create an excellent package and our cab driver Bhim and guide Nima were the most friendly people we ever met. They made us feel like home, guided us through and drove beautifully all along. The hotels were all excellent except one, park hotel in phuntsholing where service could have been better. Overall another mesmerizing experience with travel triangle. We enjoyed it thoroughly. Our cab driver Bhim and guide Nima has been real pleasure to travel with.

Rohini's 8 days trip to Bhutan

We traveled to Bhutan from 14-23 December, 2023. It was one of the best trips ever. Bhutan Maitreya Tusita travels did a fantastic job of organising this trip for us. Everything was planned, meticulous, customised, comfortable. There were no hitches anywhere. Our guide, Chencho was outstanding and was very supportive to us right from the time we entered Bhutan till the time we started our return journey. Our driver was very polite too. The hotels booked for us were very comfortable, scenic and luxurious. The best city we stayed in was Punakha, leaving us wishing that we stayed there for longer. The visits to the weaving centre and paper factory in Thimphu were memorable too. Of course, any trip to Bhutan is incomplete without a hike to tigers nest. Thankfully, with Mr. Chencho, it turned out to be wonderful too. As a country, Bhutan is so well preserved, blessed with such beautiful natural resources. So much of effort is taken to highlight the art, culture and heritage of the country. It was a very personalized, curated tour. All of our requests were patiently accomodated by Bhutan Maitreya Tusita travels team. They made this so happy and memorable for us. A big thank you to them.
