Under auspicious Buddhist Gods we have visited such a beautiful and peaceful country. We were very impressed by Jambay Lhakhang in Bumthang District and Kichu Lhakhang in Paro.
It was heart touching the festival in Tamshing Lhakhang where the actors wore a mask from 15 th century.
We visited Jakar Dzong, Burning Lake , Punakha Dzong, Taktsang Monastery, Paro Dzong, Thimphu Dzong ( where we saw the second festival) and many others Chorten.
Finally at Kichu Monastery we were blessed by his Holiness Namkhai Nyingpo Rinpoche.
All was possible because of Thinley, Phurba Tshering our guide and Rinchen our driver.
We hope our happiness will last our entire life.

Bhutan itself is a special place. However you need someone to help you prepare your trip, someone to drive you around and someone to guide you and explain things to you. Thinley, Rinchen and Phurba were all great. Kind, flexible - giving hundred percent to accommodate or help us. Just an example of Genuine Kindness : after the hike to the Tiger Nest, Rinchen was waiting for us with milk-tea (that she prepared) and biscuits.
We had a packed itinerary and we managed to do everything. I highly recommend Bhutan Best Inbound tour!

memorable experience, great company!
Our 9-day tour of Bhutan was an exceptional experience, thanks in large part to Bhutan Best Inbound. There are lots of tour companies operating and the prices don’t vary much, so the difference comes in service and quality, and I think Inbound really understands that. We had done some initial planning with a different tour company and decided to dump them after they got pushy about sending a deposit before the plan was final and pressuring us to go with upgrades and more expensive flights. Inbound, however, was super responsive and very helpful from the start, with no pressure, offering several tour choices that fit our timeframe and interests. Thinley answered all our questions very quickly and helped us design a customized tour based on our interests. I’d say we lucked out with no trip disruptions and perfect weather (true), but we really hit the jackpot with our guide and driver, Phurba and Chencho. What a combo! Phurba was incredibly knowledgeable about Bhutan and Buddhism, and showed genuine enthusiasm and pride introducing us to his people and culture. He was constantly checking in with us to make sure we were happy and enjoying, and accommodated all our requests immediately. Chencho was much more than a driver—an expert on culture, politics, music, and even archery. We enjoyed the car conversations with them as much as the incredible landscape, fortresses and temples. They worked together to plan the order of each day’s stops and were quick to suggest alternatives when landslides (just one!) and closed venues disrupted the plan. They were so friendly and welcoming and really made the experience so smooth and comfortable for us. Thanks, guys! The only thing that we found disappointing during the tour was one of the hotels (in Thimphu) was not quite up to a 3-star standard, and we suggest they may want to drop that one from their rotation. All the other hotels were good to excellent. We were lucky enough to meet Thinley and Geeta before we departed Bhutan to express our thanks in person; they are wonderful, kind people. Thank you, Bhutan Inbound, for a memorable experience!
