I was traveling from Thailand to India and on to Bhutan but did not have any plans to proceed. So when I was holidaying in Thailand, I contacted people from Himalayan Glacier for this wonderful tour in Bhutan for 10 days. Coincidentally, my holiday collided with one of Bhutan’s great festivals which I too got to witness. Bhutan is a remarkable country full of natural resources and friendly people. I enjoyed each moment of my stay in Bhutan, and thanks to my guide Wangchuk who did a tremendous job.
Show moreI was too excited when I heard that we were having a vacation time with my children in Bhutan for a duration of 10 days. He had inquired about the trip details with Himalayan Glacier and negotiated in every way. All of us were too excited the day we were supposed to land in Bhutan after a tiresome lengthy flight. The first sight of landing at the Paro airport took away all the fatigue off from me with amazing views of the Himalayas. We were cordially taken to our hotel room by one of Himalayan Glacier’s representatives. AND WE HAD THE TIMES OF OUR LIVES! Words actually can’t express our happiness. Thank you Himalayan Glacier and the entire team involved to arrange such an amazing trip in the Himalayas for me and my family. I will definitely recommend you to my fellow friends.
Show moreIt was a wonderful experience to get an opportunity to participate in one of Bhutan’s top festivals during my tour in Bhutan. The ten days in Bhutan passed in a jiffy visiting old monasteries, fortresses and temples. Himalayan Glacier did their best in looking after us during our entire tour. My family were very happy being somewhere away into another world. Thank you to the entire team for taking extra efforts to keep us satisfied. We will definitely recommend you to our friends.
