Bhutan Travel Specialist, Druk Air Representative (Royal Bhutan Airlines)
Dear Sonam, Since we came home on Saturday, we missed the weather up in the mountains in Bhutan. The air was cool and fresh, evident by the plenty of lichen found on the trees. The 7-day itinerary was relaxed though there was always likely to be some physical demand before we reached each destination. Our extended trekking was well thought of with decent tents, good porters, horses to bring the most unthinkable like gas stove up to 4,000 meters. We had toilet tents, dinning tents and good size sleeping tents. The chef was very dedicated too. With us was our personal guide Kinley and driver Sangay. We felt they went out of their way to meet our most unique demands. Kinley brought us to visit his Grandmother in Punaka when we wanted to visit the home of a local. Sangay also brought us to a local market where we bought lots of local produce. After 2 long days of trekking, we had the most traditional hot stone bath and very good home cooked dinner. That was probably our best meal of the trip. Being Buddhists, we took great interest in the details and legends of Dzongs and monastries which Kinley passionately narrated. He was patient with us when we took part in the rituals. Kinley was also sensitive if we were in the condition to stretch our day or rest early. Hotel accommodation was up to our expectation. Except for Tenzinling which was not well run (in terms of reception and food), we were okay with most food and standard of accommodation. Our experience with Druk Asia has been pleasant. Special mention goes to Kinley and Sangay who who let us feel we have been most well taken care of. We would definitely recommend all who want to visit Bhutan to use Druk Asia. Best,
From Singapore
