Paro Valley - The beautiful valley is home to many of Bhutan’s old monasteries and temples. The country’s only Airport is in Paro. The valley is also home to mount Chomolhari (7,300 meters) situated at the northern end of the valley whose glacier water forms the Pachu flowing through the valley.

Bhutan is the most enchanting, ethereal, and exciting country my partner and I have ever travelled to! Entering Bhutan was like being transported to a classic period drama, infused with sophisticated modern technology. In particular, our experience was made truly magical and mesmerising by the tour guide (Sonam lhendup B) and driver (Karpola) Druk Asia assigned us with. They are a dynamic duo that went above and beyond to ensure we were happy! I can say with 100% certainty that their flawless service is the key reason why we have crowned Bhutan our favourite destination of all time!

We literally cried on our departure flight.

We had an absolutely amazing five day tour with TeePee our guide. And our driver Cheku. Cheku was patient, punctual and professional. He had a good sense of humour and we enjoyed our visits with him. He was a safe, careful driver on those challenging roads. Thanks for everything, Cheku, including your help carrying our bag up the mountain and encouraging us to keep going all the way to Tiger's nest. TeePee was incredibly knowledgeable.
