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. The guides and drivers were very cooperative, polite and helpful. Their behaviour was really nice, and they were always there whenever we needed any help or information. 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. Thank you Chamling Holidays for organising everything so well and for making our Bhutan trip so memorable. We really enjoyed the trip and will definitely remember these beautiful days. ❤️🇧🇹

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.

The trip was planned well. Guide, drivers and everyone we met was really nice an (Read More)d hotels were good too
The hotel in Paro for the last day was only thing which could have been better, (Read More)the room was too small and there was no proper ventilation. Thimpu hotel was decent, but could be better. But overall, other than Paro hotel, everything was good.
