Testimonials for Druk Asia

We have just returned from our "7 day essential Bhutan tour" and it was one of our best family trip and adventure. It is such a privilege to visit your lovely country and we are thoroughly impressed by the unspoiled beautiful landscape, the rich culture and most of all, the religious devotion and good nature of the Bhutanese people.

We want to thank you for the arrangement, providing us with useful information (not found in guidebooks) before the trip and we really appreciated your personal phone call during the trip to check on our needs. Our trip was very enjoyable and even our 11 year old son said he would like to go back to Bhutan again!

We also want to compliment both the guide (Jigme Dorji) and driver (Tenzin Dhendup) as they have been instrumental in making this a smooth and hassle free journey for us. They have become our two new friends in Bhutan and we really appreciated their warm and considerate treatment during the trip.

Jigme spoke good English and was able to explain the history and significance of each destination clearly. He checked on us regularly and made sure we were comfortable with the lodging, food at every restaurant and even during the car ride. He was very patient throughout the trip, especially during the hike up to Tiger’s Nest, where he paced it slower to make sure it was not too strenuous for our son. He also accomodated to our additional requests eg. arranging for us to sample the Ara, looking for Bhutanese CDs, stopping by the river stream, etc. We also enjoyed all the conversations we had during the long car rides where we learnt alot about the Bhutanese way of life!

Tenzin, our driver really impressed us with his attentiveness throughout the trip. His driving skill was superb and we feel very fortunate to have him take us safely through the windy mountain roads. Throughout the trip, he was always punctual and was always waiting ahead of us. Although he spoke very little, he was very observant during the journey - without any prompting, he knew exactly when to slow down the driving and tried to avoid the potholes when our son had a little car sickness. At Meri Puensum, when we casually asked about the dzong above the hotel and without any hesitation, he offered to drive us up. He also took the effort to get an auxilliary cable so that I could play my iphone songs duing the car journey - these are just a few examples of his kindness but his efforts are well appreciated and have not gone unnoticed.

This short note is not enough to fully expressed the memorable experience which we will treasure for a long time. Nevertheless, we hope you will provide this feedback as well to their respective companies and we are sure they will also give other travellers this wonderful experience that they have shared with us.

Thank you for your email. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip! It was definitely different from our locations we have travelled to.

The holiday was at a very comfortable pace. We didn’t feel rushed and our guide Kuenzang made good suggestions when planning the next day’s itinery. In fact when he realised we were there primarily for photography, he even made stops along the way, at very scenic spots so we could capture the best shots. He’s very knowledgable and full of information to keep us entertained. And he was patient eventhough we took alot longer to that normal at each destination, taking photos.

Yes, our trip was F A N T A S T I C from "start to finish". Everything went according to plan, with a few "surprise bonuses" too, such as learning we could attend one day of a festival we hadn’t even know about! I wish I were in Bhutan now, I’m not kidding. KUDOS to you for all of the seamless planning and execution of our trip. Also as I have previously told you, our guide and drive couldn’t have been more to our liking.

”Just a few words to thank you for your organization of my trip to Bhutan, a trip I will hardly forget! Both the Nepalese and Bhutanese guides and drivers have been rather splendid and I totally enjoyed my trip...Thank you again:”

”My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip in Bhutan! We had good company throughout the trip from an excellent guide (Tashi) and a great driver (Sonam) and we felt like we got to know 2 new friends! Despite the planned itinerary, daily impromptu changes of plans which were recommended by the guide due to daily circumstances, gave the trip an extra element of adventure and surprise!

The rich Bhutanese culture and beliefs, as we got to learn, were really fascinating and the trip was no doubt one of our most memorable and fulfilling holiday. We would have wished to venture further in the central and eastern part of Bhutan, which would be even richer in culture and much more untouched. Maybe when we get another chance!

We appreciate all the assistance from Drukasia that have made our trip that good. Thanks! If I get another chance to go, I will definitely come knocking at your door! ”

KK & Yifang, Singapore, February 2011

”Druk Asia has strong networks with DrukAir and local tour agencies, making logistics a total breeze. The itinerary was well-planned yet flexible enough to accommodate different needs. We could decide when we wanted to get up, which places to visit or simply recuperate in solitude. Will go with Druk Asia again if I were to go back for spring or autumn. Won’t have it any other way!”

” My sincere thanks to Druk Asia for arranging our trip to Bhutan. This is an experience I will never forget. This is the first time I wished my eyes were the camera instead of my Canon DSLR. The scenery and temples were absolutely stunning. This is definitely the Trip of a Life time for me!

Also, a special thanks to our guide Kinley Zam and Twink for being so accomodating and attentive. The trip would not have been the same without them."
