Unforgettable Experience!!! - We had the most incredible and unforgettable experience with our family in Bhutan. We are deeply grateful for the exceptional care and kindness of our wonderful guide, Tin, and the best driver in Bhutan, Jigme. Together, they made the perfect team—guiding us with warmth, knowledge, and genuine passion. They opened the doors to Bhutan’s rich traditions, vibrant culture, deep spiritual beliefs, and the heartfelt warmth of its people. This journey touched our hearts in ways we’ll never forget. Bhutan and its beautiful people will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Magical 10 days in Bhutan - Returned from a wonderful 10 days Bhutan trip with the 'Bhutan Best Inbound Tours' yesterday. Magicial 10 days. Want to really say thank you to a lot of wonderful people. I got the name of this company from tripadvisor only and took a chance and directly emailed them. A nice person name "Madhu Sharma" respnded and we worked together to build an custmomized itinerary for 2 elederly persons (me and my wife) both having back pain issues. So Tiger Nest is out, Haa valley is in and things like that. Throughout this process Madhu has been advising and hand holding us and encouraging us that we would be able to do it. She helped us selecting the right resorts to stay based on our interests. Thank you so much Madhu, we wouldn't have been able to make it without you. The plan was to land in Paro, stay for a night, and fly to Bumthang and the 2 days in each Bumthang (Amankora Bumnthang), Gangtey (Gnagtey Lodge), Punakha (AndBeyond Riverfront), Thimphu (Pemako) and final (and the starting night too) in Le Meridien Riverfront Paro. Now agfter completing the journey I can say that Madhu had done an wonderful planning. It is very fullfilling and yet not tiring. We had Mr Karma Tobgay (guide) and Mr Choda Jamtsho (driver) waiting for us in the Paro airport on Day 1 and we spent an wonderful day visiting the museum and other places in Paro with them. Next day, they dropped us the in airport for the flight to Bumthang. Now the best and the scariest drama unfolds. The weather wasn't favorable (raining) so Karma and Choda didn't leave. They waited in the airport for the flight to take off which didin't (got cancelled, pretty common thing in the mountains). So immediately Madhu jumped into action, co-ordinated with Mr Ugyen Wangchuk (guide) and Mr Kinely Dawa (driver), who will be referred to as "Aazha (elder borther)" for the rest of the story. They were waiting for us in the Bumthang airport. It is a 10 - 11 hr drive from Paro to Bumthang and it is already 12 pm by the time the flight got officially cancelled. So both the cars started from Paro and Bumthang and we did a switch in Lebasa after Punakaha. Madhu continously monitored and co-ordinated all this. Our itinerary wasn't disturbed for more than 1 day. Next 10 days we spent with Ugyen and Aazha (Bumthang, Gangtey, Punakha, Thimphu, Haa valley and Paro). Wonderful people to say the least. I have problem of "motion sickness" so Aazha always drove the car slowly. No matter that they are getting late to go back and take rest. For them our comfort is above everything else. I have personally never experienced this level of similing service and warmth in any other parts of the world. These people are just wonderful to say the least. Apart from the nature and the culture, I would viist Bhutan again just for the people. They are all just wonderful. Ugyen continously encouraged us and nearly, held our hands to take us up to the Khansum Yolley Monstery in Punakha. If I had known before, atleast I would have gone up the Tiger Nest Trek with him (I will do it the next time). I am writng this in details as I got their contact from Tripadvisor and I think I should give back to the forum. If anyone wants to visit Bhutan, you can alwasy get in touch with these people directly and they are absolutely trust worthy. They will take care of you as they did to us.

Happiness 2024 - Our tour guide Tax and driver Damchoe are both wonderful. They are knowledgeable, responsive and certainly fun to be with! We had a great time in Bhutan! Not only did we learned about the country, the Buddhism culture but also we enjoyed the magnificent architecture and nature that Bhutan has to offer! Bhutan is a must visit place that one has to go at least once in the lifetime. And Bhutan Best Inbound Tour is the agent one should not miss!

Experiencing Bhutan with the Best - The trip truly exceeded our expectations — from the get-go, communication and planning of the trip with Mr Thinley was seamless, he even kindly took time out of his schedule to check in on us, and we all had a nice chat together. Our driver, Mr Kinzang navigated the tricky roads of Bhutan like the true pro he is. Despite his years of experience (or because of!), he never took the familiarity of the routes for granted, staying alert and focused throughout all the long drives to ensure an absolute peace of mind on all our parts. We cannot thank him enough. And of course, our guide Mr Namgay, who went above and beyond to ensure that our trip in Bhutan was as comfortable and impactful as possible. He was patient and expertly guided us in our treks, and even thoughtfully packed and carried our umbrellas and walking sticks without our asking. With reverence and earnestness, he shared his knowledge on Buddhism, weaving together the country’s beliefs, history, and culture, which led to a more profound understanding of the country. Despite our family of 3 having very different interests and travel styles, Namgay managed to make it all work which was no mean feat! By day 4 of the trip, my mum cheerily described Namgay to be "someone who feels just like [her] son." I'll always remember your stories shared Namgay, and sincerely wish you all the best in life! The thing that stuck with me during and after the trip was how the people in Bhutan were incredibly sincere. Everyone we met and interacted with were proof of that. Would highly recommend Bhutan Best Inbound Tour!

Wonderful visit to Bhutan - Wonderful experience with this agency. Very responsive and knowledgeable and professional. They were flexible to our requirements and specific needs of our family. Our guide was Tandin and our driver was Jigme. They were both really nice and friendly and well spoken. Tandin was amazing with my son on the hike up to Tigers Nest. We spent a whole week together and everything went smoothly. Bhutan is a beautiful place and the people are lovely. Highly recommend!

Unforgettable memories and a lifetime experience in the land of the thunder dragon !! - Our first visit to Bhutan couldn’t have been planned and executed better than that done by Bhutan Best inbound tour. From the moment we arrived at Bagdogra airport everything was taken Care of. We met our guide Mr Tandin at the land border crossing in Jaigaon. Warm greetings followed by quick action for immigration formalities. Our driver Mr Lobzhang was waiting for us in Phuentsholing and in minutes we were at our hotel. We had a 9 day trip covering Thimphu, Punakha, Phobjikha and Paro. The best resorts we liked were dhumra resort and trema linka. All others were excellent too. Only the one at phunsoling could ve been better Mr Lobzhangs driving skills are incredible. That said he is a professional driver holding a PD license. You can sleep and chill in the winding roads and rest assured you’ll be taken care of till you reach your destination. He is also very humble and has an Excellent demeanour. Very helpful too. Mr Tandin is a gentleman with good knowledge of Bhutan s history, religion, politics and what not. We were always engaged in interesting conversations throughout the journey. Of course he explained everything beautifully during the visit to various places and monasteries. He was very encouraging during tigers nest hike and ensured we not only summit but have a good experience Ms Chimmi was the one who we kept troubling with our phone calls for the overall trip planning. Must say she was very patient and understanding and helped us plan an awesome trip. For the readers, I would say don’t think about the SDF while visiting this beautiful country. The money is being put to good use and you’ll realise after visiting here!! Cheers and happy 2024

Mesmerizing Bhutan - We were mesmerized by Bhutan's pristine beauty and had such a memorable time there. Thanks to our tour operator Thinley of Bhutan Best Inbound Tours and our guide Namgay Wangchuk and driver Kado. Thinley personally attended to all our requirements and customized the itinerary as per our needs making for a relaxing trip with unique experiences especially for my parents. He was ultra quick in his responses. Our Guide Namgay made us fully familiar of the socio- cultural - historical facts of Bhutan and the various sites that we visited through his excellent knowledge on the subject. He took care of our smallest needs to make us relaxed n comfortable and the trip enjoyable without any worry or any anxiety. Everything was managed by him effectively n efficiently! Kado found to be a highly skilled driver making us fearless n worry-free in winding roads n hilly terrains with narrow passes thro his efficient maneuvering of the vehicle. Namgay and Kado both were well-behaved and we spent fun time listening to bollywood songs, happily chatting on long journeys.

Bhutan - Land of the Thunder Dragon - It was like taking a step back in time. No new modern buildings in big cities like Thimpu and Paro. They kept the same Bhutanese architectural heritage. The people all wore traditional costumes during working hours. Got lots of opportunities to try Bhutanese food in hotels as well as a picnic by the river and in farm houses. Taking my time in an 8 hour hike to the Tiger's Nest with lunch at the mid point, I was later taken to have a relaxing stone bath infused with artemisia to help get rid of muscle and knee pains. A truly pampered trip!

Bhutan 2023 - BBIT, Namgay & Jigme - We had an amazing time in Bhutan, and we left extremely impressed by their culture and hospitality. Our tour agent (Bhutan Best Inbound Tours) took care of the entire process from flight bookings, visa application and itinerary planning for us, and we received such amazing care from our guide (Namgay) and driver (Jigme). Both Namgay and Jigme anticipated and took care of all our needs throughout the trip, and patiently guided and supported us through the 3 hikes we did. We would definitely recommend this trio-combination of travel agent, guide and driver to anyone considering a trip to Bhutan. Thank you again to BBIT, Namgay and Jigme!! 💕
