Testimonials for Druk Asia

 Dear Sonam,

We are back! Well, been back for a few days already. Wonderful time in Bhutan, really wish we could have stayed longer and experienced other parts of the country as well.

Just wanted to say thanks again to Drukasia for all the help in coordinating the arrangements. We wouldn’t really have known where to start without you.

Not sure if I speak for the rest of the group, but this trip has made quite a deep impression on me :)

Best regards,

Hi Sonam
 
We had the most wonderful time in Bhutan - thanks very much for arranging our trip.
 
She is feeling much better though it was most unfortunate that she fell ill during the trip and as a result, we missed out on several sights (didnt see much of Bumthang and missed out on Gangtey).
 
I wish to specially commend our guide Kunzang Dhendup and driver Nim for making our holiday so memorable and exciting. 

 
Kunzang:
- excellent command of the English language. Very clear in his explanation and historical narration of buildings and artefacts/paintings.
- impressive knowledge of Bhutanese culture and history. He was able to answer all our questions succintly with conviction and confidence.
- always very polite and attentive to our needs. Never failing to open and close the car door behind us and arranged to send meals to our room when my partner was sick. Was also mindful to keep the car windows adequately wound up to prevent my partner catching the chills.
- expressed several times that he loves his job and enjoys meeting people from different countries. Admirable enthusiasm and work ethic.
- Humorous and witty. Made our otherwise tedious and long car journeys enjoyable and cheerful!
 
Nim:
- steady and skilful driver. Felt very safe sitting in his car.
- made sure that the car was clean and tidy the next day - a gesture most appreciated.
- great sense of humour and we love his impromptu singing and most of all, his infectious dance moves with cheeky wide grin.
- extremely helpful and attentive. Always the first to jump to help with our luggages. Helped carry our heavy bag up the trek to Taktsang.
- meticulous to a fault. He helped me wear my Gho and always made sure it hangs perfectly on me.
 
Please pass on my best wishes to Kunzang and Nim and I hope they will visit us in Singapore soon!!
 
PS: I intend to make another trip to Bhutan with my parents sometime late this year or early next year once Druk Air commences direct flight from Singapore to Paro. I will contact you again then.

Dear Sonam,

Thank you for the e-ticket.  All is in order there and the diagram showing location of DrukAir check-in is a very helpful touch.

At this stage I would like to say how much I have appreciated your patience in dealing with my questions (especially when I failed to realise that Bangkok and Bagdogra are in different time zones!). This is the first time we have travelled on the basis of sending money direct to an overseas organisation to pay for fares and we needed to feel confident that things would work out as intended. You helped us to do that.
We hope that DrukAir’s expansion into Singapore is very successful.

 Hi Joni,

I want to let you know that Karissa and I are having a FABULOUS time thanks, in no small parts, to our guide Tshering. He is absolutely fantastic not only in terms of the depth of his knowledge and the attention-grabbing story-telling but his humorous personality enlivening our trip as well. He had me and Karissa laughing so hard with each of jokes. We are really enjoying this trip! 

Finally, I want to thank you for taking care of the detail and following up on my request regarding umbrella.

Dear Sonam,

No worries, everything went absolutely fine. We are 100 % satisfied with our trip and we can only recommend Druk Asia to anyone.

We are very happy to have visiting Bhutan and it is a very beautiful country with very nice people. Ms. Kinley was fantastic and very professional and so was our driver Jorge.

We have already filled out the feedback. Thank you very much for everything and your great help. I will sure contact you again should I be coming back to Bhutan.

Until then, all the Best to you.

Best regards

 Hi Sonam, Joni, Cipto,

Just dropped a note to say thanks for the wonderful itinerary and the great plans for the vacation. I should have done this earlier, but was busy sorting out my office work. Sorry about that. Dorji Tshering, our guide and our driver were fantastic

I had the chance to meet Cipto when I was there as well, it was great meeting up and having a chat over a drink. I have just a few feedback for you hoping that it would help in some ways. Not complains, but more of just a feedback of some things that could have been better.

I stayed in a couple of hotels, and here they are..

Khang Residence : Fantastic views and good service. Nothing that I can comment about.

Meri Puensum : Great location, quiet and peaceful. However, just a short note about hot water for showers. It seems like there were no hot water or the heater was down. And also maybe the room could have a kettle for us to boil some hot water incase the water heater was down and we can have some hot water for a shower using the bucket.

Dewachen: Great rooms, Rustic feeling. Maybe the staff could teach the customers how to re-start the fireplace again in case the fire died out. I know other customers were having problem trying to re-start the fire again.

Metta Spa : Great place, excellent service. But I found a couple of bugs on my bed linings. this is not a major issue, but would have been a perfect stay if not for this. But overall it was a good hotel.

Basically, this is about all that I have for the hotels, I can’t thank you guys enough for the fantastic trip. I will be looking forward to visiting Bhutan again with Druk Asia again. 

By the way, I have a colleague who is planning for a Aug trip. I will send him a separate mail with your contact on copy so that you can link up. Thanks.

Dear Sonam

We had a wonderful honeymoon in Bhutan. The guide and the driver are friendly and fun.

We have attached 5 photos for you.

Thanks again for organising the trip.

Yours Sincerely

Dear Sonam and Cipto,

We just got back from our nice trip to Bhutan and it was an amazing experience. We were very happy to have Ugyen Tenzin as a guide and also Tobgyen is a very good driver!

There was a bit of a communication problem, but otherwise your organization was very good and I would choose you again as a travel agency.

Kuzu Zangpola.

I enjoyed every minute of my visit to Bhutan. It was simply beautiful to say the least. I consider that the highlight of my visit to that part of the world, i.e. Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal.  Bhutan was the least polluted of the 3 countries.

How I wish it wasn’t that expensive, haha. I hope to be able to go again. I hope to see you again one day.
