“Bhutan Journeys” created an unforgettable moment in my life A month has passed since I went to on a trip to Bhutan. The fact that I have been to Bhutan still feels like a dream to me.The country of Bhutan was an unknown world, and I had many questions.So, there were a lot of requests and questions.Nevertheless, Sonam who CEO of travel agency of Bhutan Journeys always answered my questions with a trustworthy and relaxed attitude.I had a lot of trust in Sonam even before I arrived in Bhutan.Upon arrival in Bhutan, the guide Gempo and the driver Yeshey were kind, gentle and humorous.I felt comfortable and trusted while traveling in Bhutan with them for 6 nights and 7 days.While preparing for the trip, the guide Gempo guided me flexibly and safely with years of experience in the itinerary and course I had in mind.Thanks also to Yeshey, who always kept the speed limit and made our journey tireless with safe and smooth driving.I always pursued free travel but I felt like family or friends to Gempo and Yeshey, who had a different experience and schedule in Bhutan.Maybe I felt more friendly because of the similar looks of Koreans and Bhutanese.I was feel sad at the end of my Bhutan journey, but I think we will meet again soon.The leisure and gentleness of the people of Bhutan, and the pride in their own culture are particularly impressive.Through this itinerary, I hope to continue to interact with Bhutan in the future.thank you very much for making a beautiful journey and memories in Bhutan to all you Mr. Sonam, Gempo, Yeshey.From Yunju with MyungSook (S. Korea)

Amazing Bhutan Visting Bhutan is an experience that you will never forget. A peaceful, beautiful country with a unique culture and wonderful people. This is not least thanks to Sonam who from first contact proved to be reliable and supportive travel agent who was very keen to make this a great trip. Whenever we had a question or there was an issue ahead of the trip, Sonam was quick to respond so that we could plan accordingly. We were also all very happy with the way the trip was put together as a great mixture of culture, smaller hikes and a two-day trek. Here, our guide Gembo and the driver Jigme took great care of us throughout the week. We would wholeheartedly recommend Bhutan Journeys to anyone wanting to visit this fantastic country. I hope we will be able to come again.

An excellent and well organized company Sonam of Butan Journeys did an exemplary job in setting up our permits and tickets, and keeping in contact with us during the long lead-up to our tour. We couldn't have been happier with our guide, Gembo, and driver, Jigme, who both went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of at every step. We never felt rushed, asked a lot of questions, and saw all that we could in the all-too-short seven days we were in Bhutan. I would not hesitate to call Bhutan Journeys again if we ever have the fortune to return and see more of the country.

An excellent and well organized tour with Bhutan Journeys My 12 day trip with Bhutan journeys in December was a great experience. They are a small local company run by somoene who started as a guide himself, so they know all of the ins and outs of traveling the country and are able to be really flexible. Sonam pulled my trip together on very short notice, and they changed my schedule mid way to include an extra hike when I got antsy in the car - during which Tashi was so patient when I climbed the hill slow as molasses because I hadn't fully altitide adjusted yet! Tashi and Kencho were my guide and driver. They were really nice and easy to chat with, and just as importantly they paid attention and made sure the little things were in place - right down to making sure I always had chilis at meals when they knew I liked the food spicy, even if they weren't normally served 🙂 I learned so much about the culture and history of Bhutan, and about buddhism - they were a never ending wealth of information and we visited so many interesting places. You can be sure that you'll spend your time with Bhutan Journeys well looked after in a friendly and fun environment while you soak in some amazing sites and culture in Bhutan. I'd highly recommend them!

Bhutan Journeys: an excellent personalised trip We used Bhutan Journeys for a 2-week west-to-east trip from Paro to Sandrupjongkhar in Nov-Dec 2019. We found the company very responsive and eager to work with us to taylor a trip to meet our interests. The eastern border entry to India at Daranga closed while we were planning, and the owner, Sonam Chopryl, gave us a range of options, although in the end we could revert to the original plan as the border reopened. Similarly, he was very happy to replan the whole trip by 2 days as the dates of a festival we wanted to see were changed.Our guide, Gempo, was very informative especially on matter relating to Buddhism and always helpful. He added many extra events to the trip once he had got to know our interests which we much appreciated.Our driver, Nettin, was careful and safe. The hotels were 3* but with big clean rooms often with lots of character (only SandrupJongkhar was poor, but that was a product of a lack of choice in the town), We found we were generally booked into the best rooms. Food was plentiful and fine, if a bit repetitive.Overall, we loved Bhutan and had an excellent tour. We would strongly recommend Bhutan Journeys.

Bhutan, an unforgettable experience: Bhutan Journeys an exceptional tour company I had wanted to visit Bhutan for many years, and having finally experienced this wonderful country in November 2019, I can truthfully say that the beautiful memories of our 17 day tour from east to west with Bhutan Journeys will stay with me forever. After some online research, I made an initial inquiry by email with Bhutan Journeys. The owner Mr Sonam Chophyel, responded immediately and so began the planning process for our travels. My emails were always promptly responded to with expert advice given concerning my many questions. Sonam’s knowledge ensured that the final itinerary was based around the interests of both my partner and myself.On arriving at Guwahati Airport in India we were delighted to be actually met at the airport by Sonam who informed us that he would be our guide. After entering Bhutan at Samdrup Jongkhar we were introduced to Nettyn, our fantastic driver, whose skill and expertise ensured our safely as we negotiated Bhutan’s unique roads. Nettyn’s courteous assistance and attentive care to us at all times was especially appreciated.Sonam was exceptional. His expertise, professionalism, courtesy and good humour ensured that everything went to plan, even when making last minute changes to better suit our wishes. His knowledge of Bhutan’s culture, history, politics and religion was unbelievable. He asked what we wanted to see and do and made that happen. We could not have asked for a better guide.Bhutan Journeys are a company that will plan a trip around your interests and then expertly arrange and manage the trip while doing that extra bit to make your trip something special. I unreservedly recommend Bhutan Journeys to anyone proposing a trip to this fantastic place. Thank you Sonam for an unforgettable experience.

Amazing Bhutan in amazing company with Bhutan Journeys! From the 1st contact, Mr. Sonam was amazing! Answered every question immediately, managed to put together a nice schedule within short notice and did everything until he got me a confirmed flight on my dates. Great support which made me feel super comfortable even before reaching Paro. And, once I arrived in Thimpu, he even made sure to join us for dinner too! Kencho and Tashi, my driver and guide, were the best people I could have asked to join me in this trip! They took care of me in each step of the way and made sure I experienced Bhutan real life in any way possible. More than travel agency services, they gave me unforgettable memories of nice places and beautiful people. Highly recommend them and I hope to be able to visit more of Bhutan one day! 🙂

Excellent Organised Holiday and Wonderful Country We arranged our trip to Bhutan with Mr. Sonam Chopyel of Bhutan Journeys. He was very responsive and helpful from our very first contact, months before our holiday. His suggestions and advice were provided in a helpful manner (we have found other companies try to force a standard package on you - but this was not the case).Our time in Bhutan was extremely enjoyable. Our guide (Sangay) was very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating to our wishes. Our driver (Mr Pema) was a very safe and efficient driver. This is the first time we have traveled with a guide and driver and they both exceeded our expectations.Bhutan is a wonderful country. We enjoyed day hikes, temple visits, fort visits along with scenic drives and a hot stone bath.I would recommend Bhutan as a holiday destination and Bhutan Journeys as a trip organizer.Thank you once again Sangay, Mr Pema and Mr Sonam Chopyel for a wonderful experience.

Dear Sonam,

We are now back in the UK and back to reality! Memories of Bhutan will stay with us forever. We cannot thank you enough, our trip was perfect in so many ways. Bhutan is an incredible country, it is so amazing to think how much the people of Bhutan have achieved in a mere generation. We were so impressed with how progressive your country is in its environmental and educational policies, it really puts the rest of the world to shame. The beauty of the mountains, monasteries, and the smiles of the wonderful people are forever imprinted on our hearts.

Gempo and Kharka are such an impressive team. Gempo is so knowledgeable and keen to share, he is warm, funny and very professional. We really appreciated the team altering the itinerary to build in more of what we love (walking), answering millions of questions, hanging out with us after hours, and going above and beyond our expectations. Gempo’s commitment to conservation and cleaning up the nature trails is so admirable, we all joined in must have collected several sacks of rubbish! Kharka is an excellent driver, some of the tricky places he navigated were truly scary, yet we always felt entirely safe.

The lovely gifts from you now have a special place on our travel wall, along with a snowlion mask we found in Punakha. Thank you again for your kindness and thoughtfulness.

We hope to plan another visit to Bhutan someday in the future, we’d love to do a longer trek and see a festival. Until then, we will recommend Bhutan Journeys to all of our friends and on the internet.

All the very best,

Dear Sonam,

Greetings from Australia! Here we are, home safe and sound. We’re telling everyone how wonderful our trip was and what a great tour company you run!
 
“We’ve just returned from the most fabulous holiday we’ve ever had.  Bhutan Journeys proprietor Sonam Chophyel was totally professional from the first enquiry we made via email to waving goodbye at the airport when we left. Our trip was for almost 4 weeks and we traveled from West to East visiting cultural sites and weaving centres and bird watching. Ian got some fabulous bird photos including a Satyr Tragopan and Himalayan Monal while Annie experienced the most fabulous weaving. Hotels, food etc were all well above our expectations. Our guide Gembo and driver Mr Harka did excellent  jobs enhanced by a good sense of humour. We’d recommend Bhutan Journeys to anyone wishing to experience this wonderful country.
 
As we mentioned, we’re always willing to chat to anyone on the phone who is considering using your services.
 
Warmest regards
