TID -8594 (Oct 23 – Nov14, 2014)
Hello… We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Bhutan — except for the condition of the roads, everything was better than anticipated. Our guide Namgey was terrrific, as well as our careful and considerate driver Sonam–they both were exceptional in their jobs, and their patience, humor, and kindness completed the circle of excellence. They were very adaptable to our needs–we wanted to hike more than written in the original itinerary; seeing villages and mountaintops on foot was truly a highlight. A short hiking trip, walking from village to village–staying in simple hotels or comfortable homes–might be something to consider for future guests. We also appreciated your company’s suggestions for the few hotel upgrades we had; I do agree that seeing Bhutan in all upgraded hotels would be a mistake, but it was very nice to spend our last few nights in the luxury of the Naksel. Our friends, who went to Bhutan with Wind horse last year, came home with Wind horse’s lovely book on Bhutan. How might we be able to receive one? All in all, we had a wonderful experience enjoying the beauty of the people and the country–and would highly recommend Wind horse to our friends.
