01 -06, Nov, 2018 Rating:I had a special purpose in doing this trip. We contacted Windhorse on the recommendation of a friend and from the start were impressed with their responsiveness. Heera Lama was great to deal with - so helpful and accommodating. Windhorse went out of their way to smooth the path for us, even contacting people we needed to meet in Kalimpong. I will be eternally grateful to guide Dipesh Tamang for locating my father's grave in Kalimpong. It was a special moment that we won't forget. Fantastic trip and we will be back for more!

April 26 - May 13, 2018 Rating:Five of us was on custom trip that included Goeha La trek in Sikkim and 5 days in Bhutan. From the moment guides met us in airport to the last day of our trip everything was perfectly organized with every little detail taken care of.Food on trek was exquisite! Our cook managed to cook 3-4 different dishes every evening. Good comfortable accommodations in Bhutan. We learned a lot about Buddhism, and Bhutanese culture and history. Had so much to see in just a few days it’s unbelievable. I would like to say big thank you to the whole Wind horse team from all

13 - 31 May, 2018 Rating:Overall, the trip was fantastic and I am truly grateful that you suggested India before Bhutan. However, the hotel in Delhi was superb. They upgraded us to a fabulous room the the 2nd and 3rd times that we were there which was lovely. Our guides in India were fine. I do have a couple of suggestions....I think we could have done with 1 night in Rathombore. We saw 1 tiger on all our safaris, although others saw many more...just lucky. We really liked Jaipur and maybe should have had 2 nights there instead. Darjeeling. Bhutan was really spectacular...we loved it.

28 April - 7 May, 2018 Rating:Hello Pankaj, We had a little discussion, and the only complain that we could come up with is probably too much food on trek But, to be serious, there is absolutely nothing to complain about. Everything was well organized. The whole trip felt smooth and well though-through. We would like to say big Thank you to you, Ugen and everybody in Wind Horse for this experience. I posted few pictures on my Facebook page. If you'd like to share some of them on Wind Horse page you are welcome to do that. Thank you again ! Albert.

Oct 31 - Nov 20, 2017 Rating:Attention Ugen I wanted to thank you for your assistance in organizing my trip, and for inflicting poor Anand with me. He was the perfect choice, as he listened to what interested me and went out of his way to make sure that I was able to get the very most out of the trip. I so appreciated his care and concern, as I realize that being inflicted with a little old lady, especially one with rather offbeat ideas about travel , is not exactly the job most travel agents would want. He bore up remarkably well, even enduring me dragging

April 3 -19,2017 Rating:Hello Anand, I'm writing at the end of a very busy week at my hospital; let's see how far I get before my energy and memory are failing. I'd like to break the trip into 2 segments: Bhutan and Sikkim/Darjeeling. I liked Bhutan. The country has a fascinating history based on it's religion. This is shown very clearly in every corner we visited. Yet, there is also a strong movement forward, in a diligently controlled way, for which the king probably deserves most credit. The trip showed this in an intelligent way, not the least through our excellent guide who embodied both worlds,

Nov 06 - 18, 2015 Rating:Following the touring we completed the six day Sandakphu trek along the border of Nepal and Darjeeling, India. Unlike the treks in Bhutan, which are wilderness treks where you have to camp each night, the Sandakphu trek was a cultural tea house based trek. While the terrain for the Sandakphu trek was much easier than the trekking terrain in Bhutan, the Sandakphu trek was really enjoyable because of all the interaction with the local people along the way. Our very experienced guide, Dawa, seemed to know someone in every village and we were welcomed into people’s houses wherever we went,

We have been travelling for a little more than a fortnight with your company, and we have achieved a nice trip at the nepalese boarder, nearby the majestuous Kanchenjunga. Two parts had been pointed in the program we had dealt with you: one as trekking on Singalila range, the other as visiting the old buddhist temples of the former Sikkim kingdom. Actually we
