We had a really good experience with Chamling Holidays during our Bhutan trip. F (Read More)rom the beginning till the end, everything was properly managed. The hotels were good, clean and comfortable, and the washrooms and overall hygiene were also very well maintained. We were especially happy with the cleanliness throughout the trip.

Overall, the whole trip was very smooth and comfortable. Bhutan is such a beautiful and peaceful place, and the arrangements made our experience even better.

We had a wonderful experience with the Chamling Holidays during our Bhutan trip. (Read More) The arrangements were well managed, the hotels and transportation were comfortable, and the overall coordination was smooth. Overall, we enjoyed the trip and appreciate the effort put into making our Bhutan experience memorable. With a slightly more flexible itinerary and better pricing, the experience could be even better.
A few suggestions for improvement: the package price could be a little more reas (Read More)onable, considering there are several additional expenses during the trip. The itinerary was also quite tight, so we sometimes felt rushed. It would have been great to have at least one relaxed day in the city, especially for shopping and exploring at our own pace.

I also want to share one more thing, while returning from Bhutan tour, I left my mobile in cab. When I realised it, I made a call to driver and he has not only responded but handed over my mobile at Bagdogra airport. I sincerely appreciate this action and also convey my thanks to tour operator as well as cab driver Mr. Alli.
