We recently booked our trip to Bhutan with Mr. Sudip. I had been coordinating wi (Read More)th him since October, and our trip was from 24th December.
It was a 4 nights, 5 days trip, and the coordination from Mr. Sudip was absolutely excellent. The entire trip went exactly the way I wanted — smooth, comfortable, and truly memorable.
Since 27th December was my brother-in-law’s birthday, Mr. Sudip suggested arranging a special cultural event which was organized especially for us. It was completely worth it and became one of the highlights of our trip.
The room I had specifically requested was provided exactly as promised. As I was traveling with my in-laws and a 7-month-old baby, this attention to detail meant a lot to us and everyone truly enjoyed the experience.
We were accompanied by a wonderful guide, Nyon, who was extremely kind and supportive. Our driver, Mr. Rakaki, was also very professional and made our journeys safe and comfortable.
Throughout the trip, Mr. Sudip constantly checked in and made sure everything was going perfectly. His dedication and care made our journey stress-free.
Thank you for making our trip so memorable. It was an amazing experience.
It is absolutely worth booking, and I will definitely recommend your services to my friends and colleagues.
Everything was good, Just the local guide and driver need to more flexible
