We loved our trip! It was everything we had hoped for Robinson Street, Carson City,Nevada, USA Trip Date:
Feb 26-11 March, 2015 Rating:Dear Anand, I apologize for my slowness in answering your letter. Since our return from Asia some 10 days ago, we have been busy doing chores. We loved our trip! It was everything we had hoped for. The itinerary allowed us to see many parts of your beautiful country and interesting culture. Attending the Tharpaling Thongdrel, while in the itinerary, was an unexpected highlight. Tashi, our guide, and Sonam, our driver, were excellent. Tashi and my husband liked to joke with each other which made our hikes and walks extra enjoyable. Someday we hope to return to Bhutan to visit the eastern portion of the

We stayed there our first night in a new room with radiant heating in the

He was able to share important insights on local activities, history, current affairs, nature, etc. Ossining New York Trip Date:
Oct 09-20, 2014 Rating:TID 8525(Grand cultural tour with extension) Firstly, we must note how our journey through Bhutan was made all the more special by our guide, Yonten Phuntsho (and the very able driver, Mr. Sonam). Yonten’s steady hand, patience, experience and broad knowledge allowed us to understand more about Bhutan that we’d hoped for in our tour. He was able to share important insights on local activities, history, current affairs, nature, etc. in ways that were heartfelt, thoughtful, and not “canned” tourist-talk. We all felt very fortunate to have their services during our time in Bhutan. Thank you, again, to him and Mr.

As we looked at different agencies to arrange our tour, Windhorse was the only one offering a horse trekking tour. Both of us love to ride, so this settled
