Hi Ugyen Rinzin,
The Royal Highland Festival 2025 Bhutan was high on my list of countries I wanted to visit when I want to the Destinations Travel Show in February 2025 and after speaking with Ugyen there I was sold. BGT would organise the tour and transport, all accommodation and food, the flights to and from Paro, the visa and it was all done brilliantly. Bhutan is a beautiful country with a clear vision for tourism and with the help or our amazing tour leader and guide Pema and our driver Kinga was saw many highlights. Pema went beyond expectations to make sure we enjoyed the experience from start to finish (who else would get us a selfie with the local favourite boy band!), as did the other BGT guides when we met with fellow travellers on similar bespoke tours at the Festival. The Festival was the highlight of the tour, a feast for all the senses including an address to visitors in English from His Majesty the King. The local community was so welcoming, we enjoyed a conversation with the Queen, took endless photos of the costumes and spectacular events, and the entire three days spent on the trek to Laya, camping, the Festival itself and the return journey was a joy. That’s not to say the rest of Bhutan was any less amazing – the Dzongs, Tiger’s Nest and the other temples, the view of the mountains at Dochula Pass, learning about Buddhism, chilli cheese – the list goes on. The hotels and food were great. I would definitely recommend Bhutan Green Travel and thank Ugyen, Pema, Kinga and the rest of the team for a wonderful experience.
