Family A special thank you to our guide and driver, who started this journey as strangers but now feel like family. They didn’t just do their jobs—they genuinely cared for us, looked after us, shared countless stories, made us laugh, and made every day of this trip comfortable and memorable. What made this trip special wasn’t just Bhutan’s beautiful views, but also its people. Everyone was so kind, respectful, and disciplined.

Memories Incredible cultural getaway through Phuentsholing, Thimphu, Punakha, and Paro. I recently returned from an unforgettable 7-day tour of Bhutan, and it was pure magic. From the moment I crossed the border at Phuentsholing, I was struck by the peaceful atmosphere and the breathtaking landscapes. The balance of nature and culture was flawless. Every day offered something completely new—from exploring the majestic Punakha Dzong and enjoying river rafting, to taking on the Tiger's Nest Monastery trek. The warmth and genuine hospitality of the guide (Ugyen Tshomo) and drivers truly made the trip. They took meticulous care of every detail, ensuring the journey was safe, comfortable, and deeply enriching. Bhutan is more than just a destination—it’s an emotion that offers peace, vibrant culture, and deep natural beauty. I returned home refreshed and dreaming of coming back!

7 days with Excursion to Himalayas (Bhutan) Communication with CEO, Mindu Dorji was excellent: always quick to respond, communicated with Bhutanese institutions we needed to deal with & offered clear travel suggestions. Tashi and Perma, our guide & driver had a wonderful sense of humour that made our time with them thoroughly enjoyable. They were also caring, patient and helpful when needed, flexible with the itinerary offering a few opportunities to do and see a little beyond the tourist track. Tashi's English and Japanese are excellent and during temple and cultural visits we appreciated his knowledge and eagerness to enlighten us but also to give us space when we needed it. As many others have noted, the scenery is gorgeous, Tiger's Nest hike was exhilarating, rafting was relaxing, accommodation very clean and comfortable, food predictably tasty oriented towards the western palate/stomach, but it is often the people who make a trip. I suspect most tour companies offer much the same itineraries depending on time and interests; for us (relatively well travelled couple in our late 60s familiar with other parts of Asia and who generally avoid tours) the Excursion to Himalayas team offered a very high level of professionalism, warmth, ease of communication and fun. I highly recommend them.

11 days Photo Tour in Bhutan. Missed visiting Bhutan 25 years ago and decided to cover the gap. I’ve found Excursions to Himalayas via internet and was pleased by the prompt response. EtH helped me to create the plan of tour, supported during the all steps of preparation, assisting to resolve the issues with logistics, payments. The trip was amazing and well prepared. The Hotels were very descent, especially in Paro and Thimphu. Food was very good and may be even excessive, with may be one draw back - the lack of variety. The choice of routes and scenery places met my most brave expectations. Some shows in Thimphu seemed me too touristic, but they too provide me the opportunity to make few good shots. And the hike to the Tigers Nest deserves the visit to Bhutan. And believe me the country has a good deal of other picturesque places interesting both viewing and cultural and historical significance. Thanks a lot to the EtH team, specially to my guide and driver, for wonderful and unforgettable voyage.

Well planned, slow paced trip with amazing guide and driver We had a wonderful Bhutan trip, beautifully organized by Excursion to Himalayas. The guide was knowledgeable and made every place come alive with history and local insights. Our driver was extremely caring and ensured a comfortable journey, especially for our 8-year-old son. The hotels were comfortable, well-maintained, with polite staff and good food. We also loved the flexibility in the itinerary, which let us explore at our own pace. A big thank you to the entire team for making our trip so memorable!

7-day, 6 night tour in Bhutan with Excursion to Himalayas Just completed an excellent 7-day, 6 night tour in Bhutan with Excursion to Himalayas. The tour was a well-balanced mix of culture, scenery, and food, with a rewarding hike up to Tigers Nest on the last day. The culture was rich, the scenery beautiful and the food delicious. Our guide, Kinley, looked after us very well and had the knack for anticipating our needs before we voiced them or even knew of them. He was also very good at fulfilling our random activity requests, such as white-water rafting and finding somewhere to try on traditional Bhutanese clothing, adjusting our itinerary to accommodate. The booking process was also easy, and we asked to include return flights between Nepal and Bhutan. It was all done via email, and their responses were always prompt. We paid via international back transfer and ended up being a little short due to intermediary banks charging fees. The company was ok with us paying the shortfall in cash once we arrived in country. Overall, we had a great experience and a thoroughly enjoyable time!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Private Trip to Bhutan?

private trip is a customized tour tailored to your preferences, with a personal guide and vehicle for a more intimate experience. With a dedicated guide and driver, you can explore at your own pace, customize your itinerary, and enjoy exclusive access to remote monasteries, scenic hikes, and cultural gems. Ideal for couples, families, or solo travelers seeking an intimate and immersive journey through the Land of the Thunder Dragon.

Look for a licensed operator registered with the Department of Tourism, positive traveler reviews, transparent pricing (including the Sustainable Development Fee), experienced local guides, and customizable itineraries for treks, festivals, or cultural tours.

Costs depend on trip length, season, and services. Packages typically include the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF), accommodation, meals, a guide, transport, and permits. Luxury, mid-range, and budget-friendly options are usually available.

A Bhutan tour operator is a licensed local agency that arranges your visa, permits, guide, driver, accommodation, and daily itinerary. Bhutan requires all international tourists (except Indian, Bangladeshi, and Maldivian nationals) to travel through a licensed operator, making them essential for planning any trip.

Booking directly with a licensed local Bhutan operator often means better pricing, more personalised service, and direct communication with on-ground guides, compared to going through a foreign intermediary.
