Perfect arrangements were made by this company for our trip to Bhutan. The Staffs are friendly, efficient and even our minute details were taken care of. The Guide Mr. Wangchuk is always flexible with the Tour program. We are happy that we traveled through such a company in Bhutan. They are the best of the best.
Everything went very smoothly with our trip. Being greeted with Khaddar (welcome scarf) at the airport was especially nice for us. Being vegetarian I thought there might be more problem but our guide Karma pre-arranged some things to make sure where we ate had plenty of vegetarian choices for us. On the whole our trip was very satisfying.
Yak Adventure Travel, Inc. is an excellent Travel company. The Trekking Team was outstanding. We were looked after with great care and attention, which was reassuring...
We chose Bhutan Yak Adventure Travel for our vacation in 2004 from the Internet. Why? We e-mailed several companies, and Sithar at Bhutan Yak Adventure was among the most responsive. He answered endless questions and was more-than-willing to change itineraries for us. When we arrived in Bhutan, arrangements were just as promised -- and better than we expected, with a superb and knowledgeable guide, professional driver and accommodations exactly as described.
Best part of our trip: Fall festivals in Thimpu and Wangdue.
What we were sorry we missed: The west.
Most worthwhile hike: To Tiger's Nest.
What we might have passed on: Trekking from Gangtey. Great experience (terrific crew and cook)
Travelling to Bhutan was a dream come true for me. Before leaving I was apprehensive that I might have been in for a disappointment after so much dreaming, however it turned out to be even better than I expected. Out of all the countries I have visited Bhutan had the biggest impact on me because of its purity in all the senses. I travelled there with my mother who is 70 years old. Our guides, Sithar and Rinzin, treated us as if we were their mother and sister rather than clients. They were responsible, helpful, honest, punctual and extremely cheerful. Thanks to their extensive knowledge I have learned so much more about the Himalayan culture and Buddhism than I ever did on any of my previous visits to this region. I am very grateful to Bhutan Yak Adventure Travel for helping me to make my dream come true and to Bhutan for showing me that Shangril.la is not a legend. Shangril.la really does exist. I will be back. For more information, please write to Rosala Coll
