Our group of 4 just returned from a 7 day tour of Bhutan. From the beginning of my contact with Bas, to touring the amazing countryside of Bhutan with Sonam and Tawa (guides from Bhutan). My experience was phenomenal, two thumbs up for the curtosy, kindness and professionalism of all the staff.

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

Trip was better than we could have ever expected. The entire process from the first messages with Bas till the fairwell hugs with tashi and Jigme at the airport and everything in between was beyond words!

Our journey in the mountains of Bhutan was richly rewarding. A gift not wrapped in paper but bound instead in the thread of discovery and the characters we were blessed to encounter along the way. A journey of reflection and life in focus – so generously mentored by the welcoming will and inspiring talents of

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

I have to admit, I am the last person to sign on for a guided tour. I prefer wandering around new places, and discovering what is available. As an introvert, I really don’t like being jammed in vehicles for hours with others – or having to make small talk. However, the only way into Bhutan

Hi Anand, I really enjoyed my trip quite a lot. Namgay and Yamay were both terrific. And the support team at Wind Horse was really great and answered all my questions. My only feedback would be that perhaps you should add a version of the trip that includes more hiking. It’s a lot of sightseeing
