Trip to Eastern Bhutan, Paro, Thimphu, Bhutan

The trip went well in the beginning, the agent was having communication issues and I’m sure he did not understand business
He choked me at a point asking for money, where I had to leave jaigoan and if I did not leave at the very moment I would miss my flight, and at that time he choked me asking for the money, and if I refused to give him the money then he would not leave the vehicle which had all my luggage from jaigoan, it was my last day and he ruined the entire image at the last.

Thank you sir for the review, let me clear it out. It wasn't just any money we "choked" you for, it was the tour payment which you didn't clear it out when we specifically mentioned that the tour pay (Read More)ment should be cleared before the tour starts, and right after you reach the office.

Secondly, you kept delaying the rest of the payment, and we did tell you before hand that "if you do not make the rest of the payment, the car will be on hold" you kept saying "i will pay it after I reach my home in hublli" which isn't acceptable, as none of the business will tolerate that, its not how things work.

Lastly, No business will tolerate loss and you were clearly putting us on the loss as you didn't clear the payment in time, kept delaying and saying "we will pay after I reach to India" and since it is out of the rule book we had to do what we felt right, holding you back until you clear the payment and leave.

I knew you'd come up with this review, didn't expect it would be this late. 1st and final advice for you would be, if you do the tour next time. So it be Bhutan or any other country, make sure you clear the payment before you leave the country.
