Thank you for an absolutely amazing and wonderful trip. Everything went perfectly. The guide and trekking support were great companions who made us feel completely safe and included. Our cook even made a birthday cake in camp at 3800m. We had an incredible experience in a farm having a hot stone bath and traditional meal. We had pretty rough weather for part of the trek, and didn't get views of the big peaks, but that didn't take anything away from our experience. Bhutan has left us with a strong impression of a rich and beautiful land, and we are all dreaming of returning one day.
