I just returned from a 7D to Bhutan. For a first trip, the itinerary was a good balance of nature and cultural/historical sites.
My guide Kinley and driver Namgay were instrumental in making my trip relaxing and enjoyable. Namgay was a careful and skilful driver, and I felt comfortable and safe. Kinley was an enthusiastic guide. He gave indepth explanation at each place that we visited, and provided interesting cultural and religious context. For someone who does not know much about Buddhism, this is very informative. We also had many exchanges on Bhutan society and Kinely patiently answered my questions on education, work and other aspects of modern Bhutan. I come away feeling that I not only saw the historical Bhutan but also had a feel of the modern Bhutan and its aspirations in the 21st century. In our trek to Tiger Nest, I had some discomfort due to the altitude. Kinley was solicitous and constantly checking to see that I felt okay. This is much appreciated.
Overall, this trip has met my expectations: gorgeous scenery, interesting culture and history, comfortable hotels with good amenities situated in beautiful environment, and attentive guide and driver. It has been an enjoyable first trip. I hope to visit Bhutan again and will recommend friends to visit Bhutan and Soultrips for a seamless and comfortable experience 😊.
