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

Mostly the choice of hotels, decisions and support during emergency situation an (Read More)d overall planning. The husband-wife team is very cooperative and flexible and had taken personal care. It was a pleasant surprise to get a complimentary special tea packet after the trip. Their personal touch was very assuring.
It was an end to end trip for North Bengal and Bhutan, starting from Bagdogra ai (Read More)rport and ending at NJP railway station. As we have requested for a relaxed trip, as I am a senior citizen, they made it too relaxing...could have saved at least a day, if not two. Bhutan is known for scenic beauty, forts and monarchy and other than that there's nothing much to see. May be it's our mistake that we did not do our homework well, otherwise we could have easily saved 2 days and 20-25K.
