Hi Ugyen Rinzin,
I totally concur with Andrew’s review. We were in one of the groups that shared the Royal Highland Festival experience together. We also met Bhutan Green Travel at the Destinations Travel Show, although we were in London rather than Manchester. Ugyen sorted out everything for us, including ensuring that our plane seats were on the correct side of the plane so that we could see Everest as we flew past. We decided to have a mix of hotel styles so we had some 4 star & in the more rural areas they were 3 star, all were excellent. The only downside is that they are all buffet style, but you got used to that & the food was very good. On the trip to Laya for the Festival we had 3 nights camping (only other choice was a guest house) where we were joined by the other groups from Bhutan Green Travel, so there were 11 of us in total. This made perfect sense as we were all cooked for & ate together & our tents were all in the same spot. It was also lovely to meet some fellow travellers & find out how there experiences of Bhutan were going. We chose to go to the Royal Highland Festival as it was significantly more remote, hence the camping, & can only be accessed by walking for 3 hours, uphill to 4000m! Consequently the number of tourists decrease so you felt like you were getting a truly unique experience. And indeed it was! Bhutan is a fabulous country with the most amazing scenery & beautifully decorated buildings, be that a homestead or a temple. I would not hesitate to recommend both Bhutan as a destination & Bhutan Green Travel as a fabulous tour company. Just make sure you go for one of the many festivals, it’s the icing on the cake!
