We used Excursion to Himalayas as the tour operator for our 12-day Bhutan tour in September 2009. The founder of Excursion to Himalayas, Mr. Mindu Dorji, though new to the business was enthusiastic and dedicated in providing us a memorable trip to Bhutan. He was especially helpful on the penultimate day of our trip, when the hotel booking done previously was not honoured by the hotel owner, and to Mr. Dorji's credit he arranged for alternative accommodation (of a higher standard) in less than 30 minutes.

He was also kind enough to make/ receive calls to our families in India and inform them of our safety when the earthquake struck Bhutan during our travels (none of us were carrying a cell phone). Overall, Mr. Dorji impressed us as someone who was keen and enthusiastic about providing his clients a value-for-money travel experience and we would recommend other travellers to Bhutan to consider Excursion to Himalayas.

Thank you for making my trip so excellent and memorable! My 5-day trip to Bhutan was a good learning experience. I really enjoyed every minute of it. The accomodation was comfortable, food - varied and tasty, driving - very safe. My special thanks to my guide Govinda who taught me a lot about Western Bhutan, its history, people and culture.
Everything was very well organised and I felt very comfortable. For all this wonderful experience I would like to thank Excursion to Himalayas and personally the company's owner Mr. Mindu Dorji, who took care of every single matter and was very helpful indeed.

I will not hesitate to recommend Excursion to Himalayas to everyone, who would like to visit Bhutan. I am really fascinated by Bhutan and definitely come again soon !!!

The beauty of Bhutan (sceneries, forest, mountains, Dzong and Monastery) as well as Bhutanese people hospitality are still stick in my head until now. If I have more time in Bhutan, I would love to spend longer time in Punakha Dzong, Taktsang monastery, Wangdue and Thimpu (nice city)… much more to see in Dzong & monasteries such as paintings, Thangkas, sculptures…. mingle with monks and observe their activities, ceremony and most important to understand the history of such places. Wangdue Phodrang is such a nice area … the vegetation is very rich and diverse - with different type pine trees, maple trees & so many others, also nice hills & snow-capped mountains. Many different kinds of sceneries and landscapes during my journey from Wangdue to Phobjika…. breathtaking view!! The weather on December was sunny with clear blue sky, notso chilly but a really nice, fresh air….. I feel blessed with the good weather. I experienced a
snowfall on several places which has created more excitement on my journey… the winter scenery is just like on postcard.
Bhutan culture is still preserved… this is excellent!! I found that the Bhutanese people are very stylish - the men wear a "gho" (with stylish leather shoe) and "kira"for women…. really nice!!
Overall I was satisfied with all arrangements provided by Excursion to Himalayas, they even arranged a birthday celebration for me with nice red wine and birthday cake. How could I enjoy Bhutan without them…..
.
Hotel in Thimpu and Paro... are Best: good food, good service, cozy room. In term of itineraries arranged by Excursion to Himalayas. it's just perfect!! also the driver (I forgot the name) he's good guy with nice attitude.

Thank you.

Himalayan High Trek in Sanfrancisco arranged a tour for me to Bhutan via Excursion to Himalayas one of the good travel agent I would suggest. The tour was handled promptly and efficiently. Though the proprietor Mr.Mindu Dorji who has years of experience in travel agency in Bhutan didn’t accompany me but all the arrangement was handled professionally. The food, accommodation was excellent and the trekking equipments provided to me during 5 days drukpath trek was excellent.
I would definitely recommend Excursion to Himalayas for those people interested to visit Bhutan. Now I know the range of trekking holidays option in Bhutan. The most amazing things that I enjoyed about Bhutan is the environment and the landscape. I am planning to come back with my family in 2011.

In my view the real beauty of Bhutan it is its unspoilt and virgin environment.
My father and I had a very good time getting to know the place and its people, Bhutanese people are very gentile, welcoming and spiritual.

I strongly recommend the experience and encourage to visit the country.I would like to thank Excursion to Himalayas for organising such a wonderful trip to Bhutan.
