Having yeoman service from our organizer, Micheal Lee aka Leica ambassador, photographer/film producer/guide Chencho Tshering and driver Sigay, helped `make our recent trip to Bhutan pleasant and memorable. Chencho answered my queries succinctly and authoritatively. Ever helpful Sigay cleaned my wife’s soiled pillow when she vomited from motion sickness without her asking. The grandeur of Bhutan’s valleys, rivers and festivals were breathtaking. But I was more impressed by Micheal’s contacts he had made over the years.

We joined this trip only because it was led by Leica Ambassador Michael Lee. We had traveled with him before during our Silk Road adventure. I was warned that food in Bhutan will be BAD. So I brought along lots of snacks - biscuits, chocolates and bak kwa. We didn't need any. The restaurants that we were brought to by Michael and the local guide Chendo Tshering were excellent. Who says Bhutanese food is bad?? Get a good guide!! That's the crux!!

I can’t recommend this tour package enough. I used SoulTrips to travel to Bhutan from Singapore and it couldn’t have been smoother. I’ll break up this review in two parts: the preparation and the tour. Preparation: I originally went with a tour company called “Druk Asia” who I believe outsourced to SoulTrips. From the (email) response time to figuring out the flights, visa, and any dietary necessities, SoulTrips made sure to take care of all the details. They were responsive, friendly, and made sure that I would have all the information needed before going to Bhutan Tour.

We spent a week with Kuenga and it was a great trip. He is a great guide with a deep knowledge of the local culture, traditions, history and architecture. Very dedicated and hardworking always giving his best to make people feel at home. Beautiful country, amazing people.

My mum and I visited Bhutan for a week, from 12th to 18th September, with Soul Trips, and I was thoroughly impressed with the level of service at every point of contact. Sonam was our first point of contact, and the entire process—from booking the trip to arranging our preferred accommodation—was seamless. Every question I had was answered within the day, which provided a great sense of assurance about traveling to a place so different from home.

Had a great time in Bhutan under the 7 days itinerary which also offers great flexibility in terms of planning it around activities you want to do or see. Recommend to get Kado as your guide and Kelzang as your driver as the two are really passionate and hospitable folks who will definitely make your time in Bhutan a memorable one!

Bhutanese are one of the kindest , respectful , simplest and meekest people I’ve met. Definitely witnessed their sense of compassion to all beings, contentment and joy in the littlest things and their sense of community. I was welcomed with warm smiles & generously spoiled with goodness, genuine care & kindness and utmost service (like royal treatment!) by my guides tashi & karma - from soul trips co / druk asia and the ones from the hotels I’ve stayed in and every friendly face I met on the trip. I was traveling solo but they made me feel right at home, like I belong. Their pursuit of inner peace, mindfulness, and compassion is a way of life and not just a religious practice and it radiates. It is the land of happiness, indeed. this was a trip for the soul, and my soul was happy indeed.

I have always wanted to travel to Bhutan and my only regret was I did not choose to go for the longer tour package. Ugyen Dema was such a great help for all my enquiries, to the purchase of the package and even the after service support. I was able to customise the itinerary to my liking and travel on my own so that I did not have to compromise it to fit other travelers. My guide, Tashi Chedon, and driver, Dawa Gyeltshen, were just as amazing. They welcomed me once I landed and made sure I was comfortable throughout the trip. Both made me feel so welcome that I did not worry about travelling solo. Highly recommend everyone to visit Bhutan with Druk Asia/Soul Trips. Nothing to fear, even as a solo female traveler, as you can request for a female guide. Looking forward to visiting Bhutan again and definitely will be going longer this time.

Everything worked smoothly starting with the booking process until the final drop off at the airport. Ugyen was very helpful during the booking process. My guide and driver (Doji and Kado) made the week in Bhutan a perfect experience. Everything was well organised. I can't think of anything to complain about.

We had a very enjoyable and memorable trip. It was a hassle free experience to arrange the itinerary with the tour office. Communication was prompt, informative and accurate through email. Many thanks to both our local guide Tashi Tshering and driver Sonam Zangpo for creating such wonderful experiences. They are warm, friendly and knowledgeable and did their best to accommodate our requests regarding meals and activities on the trip. We got a glimpse of the culture and way of life in bhutan through them in the short 1 week we spent together. Highest praise for their passion, excellence and professionalism!

I had the pleasure of working with an incredibly experienced agent, Sonam Younten, during the itinerary planning and administration of our trip. The entire journey was thoughtfully customized to meet our needs, accommodating our varying fitness levels and dietary restrictions. Communication was clear and timely, with regular updates leading up to our departure. Special thanks go to our guide, Dorji Wangchuk, and our driver, Sonam. Dorji's insightful explanations at each site, combined with his rich knowledge of local culture, truly immersed us in the experience. His friendly and approachable demeanor added a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere to our trip.

Bhutan has always been on my bucket list and it didn’t disappoint. It is truly a beautiful country, with an amazing culture and lovely, friendly people. We joined Michael Lee’s photography tour and were treated to some heartwarming moments, like a visit to the Sangchhen Dorji Lhuendrup nunnery in Punakha where we got to meet the sweet and friendly nuns. That experience will stay in my heart for a long time. Kudos also to our excellent guide Chencho Tsering and driver Sigay. What I really loved was the flexibility, eg, traveling to more remote and less crowded places, and bringing us to eat where the locals eat, away from the tourist street (the best momos, better than all the fancy ones!). It gave the feeling of a less commercial, more personal tour. Thank you, and we will be back!

Bhutan is a truly beautiful and peaceful country with amazing landscapes and the most friendly and kind people. We had an amazing week-long tour that covered Thimphu, Punakha and Paro, and we witnessed two Tshechu festivals in Thimphu and Gangtey. I don’t even know where to begin as there were so many memorable moments on the trip. Our photography guide Michael Lee was excellent as he had been to Bhutan 9 times before this and planned the itinerary for us. Our local guide Chencho Tsering was also exceptional - he was very knowledgeable about Bhutan’s history, culture and traditions and always so nice and helpful. He took such good care of us and helped me navigate the uneven surfaces and many steps we encountered along the way. Our driver Sigay was so nice too and a very experienced driver since some of the roads were steep and windy. Overall, such a wonderful team whom we were with for the week who made our stay so lovely.

We had a great trip in Bhutan. Druk Asia did a wonderful job in organising everything. The service by our guide and driver were excellent.

Words can’t explain the beauty of Bhutan and its people. Our guides were awesome with their professionalism, patience and attentiveness to our needs. We were well taken care of and felt like we were part of the Bhutan family. The hotel staff were polite and friendly making our stay a pleasurable and comfortable one. I teared on the last day as the week flew by in the blink of an eye. Brief as it may, the heart warming experience has changed my perspective of life. I see beauty in simplicity and simplicity in itself is deep with meanings. Special mention to our guides Dorji Tshering and Tshering Wang Chuk who put in their best efforts to ensure we had a wonderful and safe experience in Bhutan. I give them a 6 out of 5 stars

Many thanks to Kinley and Lhakpa for making our trip so fun and memorable. Especially appreciate their friendships and thoughtfulness. The visit to the Hermitage at Punakha and the trek up to Bumdra are particularly enjoyable.

My friend and I had a wonderful time in Bhutan. It is such a beautiful country. Our guide, Kuenga Norbu, was extremely professional and knowledgeable about Bhutan. He went the extra mile to take us to local food places instead of dining in hotels. He also customized our itinerary to include scenic spots that we particularly enjoyed. Our driver, Lhapka, was very skilled and ensured our safety on the winding and narrow roads. He was also very friendly and easily engaged us in conversation. We had an enjoyable experience because of our guide and driver. Would strongly recommend!

Bhutan has always been on my husband & I, our travelling bucket list. In late Dec 2023, we decided to confirm for our trip to Bhutan with Druk Asia SoulTrips after researching through, with a few travel agencies. Mr. Sangay from Druk Asia SoulTrips has been very helpful and patient with our queries from the beginning, before we made our decision, all the way until our trip.

I had a very wonderful trip 10 days trip in Bhutan with professional and attentive guide Kuenga Norbu and experienced driver Tsring (long life). They will go all the way to fulfil my additional needs such as food and itinerary which make the trip very flexible that suit my solo trip purpose. Gangtey and Ura Valley are top of my list for best scenic picture perfect places in Bhutan! Tashi Daley la.

They were attentive to our needs, accommodative to our requests like change of itineraries, food options, always opened and closed the car doors for us even though we told them we can do it ourselves. They are jovial and caring. Both of them accompanied us every steps, never once told us to explore the place ourselves and wait for us at the exit. Tashi has been patience with the historical explanation. They often offered to take photos for us and find the best spots even we didn't request for it. When we were trekking to the Tiger's Nest Monastery, they carried our bags and bottles of water, extended their hands/shoulders/arms for us to keep our balance as the routes are rocky and muddy.
