My Bhutan journey with DrukAsia / SoulTrips was truly fantastic

My Bhutan journey with DrukAsia / SoulTrips was truly fantastic. After travelling to nearly 40 countries, I can honestly say this was the best trip I’ve ever had. From the beginning, Sangay, my trip advisor, was incredibly patient and prompt in answering all my questions and accommodating my requests.

The flexibility in arranging the itinerary made the whole experience feel very personal rather than like a standard tour. Sonam and Guruji were more than just my guide and driver — they were my travel buddies from the very beginning. We talked, joked, shared plenty of little moments, and they were always patient with my endless questions, photography stops and attempts at speaking Dzongkha.

Sonam made Bhutan’s history, culture and traditions come alive, while patiently teaching me Dzongkha along the way. By the end of the trip, I could even name most of the common animals and Bhutanese dishes in Dzongkha, and little expressions like “Gaji bey?”, “Gatey mo?” and “Log jay gay!” had naturally become part of our conversations.

Guruji handled the winding mountain roads with great skill and professionalism. Even the long drives became part of the fun, with plenty of conversation and laughter. Looking back, it wasn’t just the spectacular landscapes, dzongs (fortresses), goembas (monasteries), lhakhangs (temples) and festivals that made Bhutan so memorable.

It was the people, conversations, laughter and little moments along the road. I came to Bhutan as a traveller and left feeling that I had made two new friends. Kadrinchey la, Sonam and Guruji — I hope our paths cross again one day.

Log jay gay! 🇧🇹
