We recently completed a wonderful six-day tour of Bhutan, arranged by Green Esca (Read More)pe Tours and Travels, Jaigaon. The entire trip was meticulously planned and well-organized, making our journey truly enjoyable and memorable. Our driver, Phub, and tour guide, Karma, were exceptional in providing their services. They assisted us at every step of the journey—from obtaining the entry permits to finding food outlets of our choice. They provided insightful explanations about the various tourist attractions. Both of them were always ready to help us with shopping and other needs. Their dedication, hospitality, and willingness to go the extra mile exceeded our expectations. A special thanks to Rajesh Pradhan for arranging such a delightful and hassle-free trip.
