One of the highlights of our trip was the trek to Taktsang Monastery (Tiger’s Nest). We had been told that locals typically complete the hike in about three hours, and given our age and physical condition, we were worried about whether we could manage it. But Yongko was positive and encouraging, assuring us we could do it together at a slower pace. Throughout the trek, he was attentive to our well-being — teaching us breathing techniques, ensuring we had enough rest and water at each checkpoint, and even offering to carry our belongings so we could climb more comfortably. His care and dedication far exceeded our expectations of a guide. In the end, we took 8 hours to complete it, and it was 100% worth it.

Bhutan is a beautiful country seeped in culture, spirituality and scenic beauty has no limits. Druk Asia took note of our preferences such asrooms with good views, dietry preferences etc. This contributed greatly to our experience. Our guide Sang Ye is very knowledgable ( as we requested). None of our questions remained unanswered. Driver Tian Din is very caring and helpful. They went beyond their call of duty to make us feel comfortable and safe. This trip was amazing- beyond our expectations, thanks to Druk Asia for planning it, Our guide Sang Ye and Tian DIn for executing it a caring and amzing way.

I had initially planned my trip to Bhutan in 2023, but it was postponed until July-August 2025. I approached the trip with an open mind and heart, albeit with limited research. Unlike my usual solo travels, I opted for a guided tour this time. I would like to extend my gratitude to Sonam, who initially arranged my trip in 2023 and was helpful in accommodating changes to my plans. Ugyen was also instrumental in customizing my itinerary and responding to my queries in a timely manner.
