There can not be enough said in regards to the professional commitment displayed by Ugyen and the staff selected during my tour of Bhutan.

Except for the hotel in Thimphu, I was satisfied. Pelton, the guide, demonstrated excellent service, insight, and knowledge of tantric Buddhism, which I have a particular interest to investigate. I would travel again to Bhutan, provided the guide had the professionalism of Pelton. I am also interested in another trip, possibly to Tibet or Nepal.
