Loved everything!

To start our adventure, Little Bhutan answered every questions promptly and provided the extra care we needed to ensure we had a trip hat met our needs.

Upon arriving in Bhutan we were warmly greeted by Sonam and Karma. We can’t speak highly enough about these two. They were kind, funny, helpful and really made our trip that ‘Once in a lifetime’ experience.

Sonam is super knowledgeable about all things Bhutan, and was always willing to answer any questions we had.

We loved everything about Bhutan and will forever be grateful to Little Bhutan for making it so special!

A Thank You note from the Hong Family!

We’ve had an enjoyable experience of Bhutan with team Little Bhutan!

Both the guide and driver were punctual, ready to serve and easy to get along with. Our guide, Sonam, was informative, eager to explain and very jolly.

And our driver, Deepak, was responsible, careful and very good.

Thank you everyone!

Overall this was a lovely trip. Great friendship and warm hospitality from Sonam, Tshering and Kinzang and all the people I have encountered in Bhutan. I would like to suggest that you offer options & flexibility in the itinerary and let the visitors know that ‘WiFi’ may not be available in some of the hotels. Thank you to Tenzin too for allowing Tshering to join us. We all had a great time & a great experience.

Bhutan is an excellent tour destination, and we enjoyed the services provided by ‘Little Bhutan’.

We’ve had a great experience in Bhutan with our friendly guide Nima and driver Rinchen. Everything was great and we hope to come back again to the ‘Happy Land.’

We’ve had a wonderful time during our stay in Bhutan and “Little Bhutan” as a Tour agency has been extremely professional and caring right from the first email two months ago.

Correspondence was fast and arrangements made with quick and ease. When we arrived, our guide Mr. Ugyen and the driver were waiting fir us and they made a huge effort to guide us through the country with great success with impressive knowledge about Buddhism and the Bhutanese culture & history.

They very very flexible and it was a fun tour. This “dream team” gave us an amazing experience and we are leaving wanting for more!.

Thank you!
