We had the pleasure of exploring Bhutan with Sonam Tshering as our guide and Tobgay as our driver, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team.
Sonam was with us at every step of the journey. His de (Read More)ep knowledge of Bhutan, thoughtful planning, and constant focus on our comfort made the trip truly memorable. He went above and beyond to support my 73-year-old father and 65-year-old mother during our hike to the iconic Tiger’s Nest—a challenging 7.5-mile trek with a 2,490 ft elevation gain. His patience, encouragement, and helpfulness ensured they completed the hike safely and with confidence. He also captured some incredible photos along the way, helping preserve the memories beautifully.
Tobgay, our driver, was equally patient and calm. Together, they navigated a challenging situation involving a landslide and heavy traffic with grace and professionalism. They were transparent with us, set the right expectations, and prioritized our safety and comfort throughout.
We also really appreciated our tour operator, Deepa, who regularly checked in with us to make sure everything was going smoothly. Her attention and care gave us great peace of mind throughout the trip.
I would very strongly recommend Sonam as a guide—he is respectful, humble, and always attentive to his guests’ needs. Both Sonam and Tobgay truly made our Bhutan experience smooth, enjoyable, and deeply fulfilling.
