Wonderful Personalized Bhutan Trip that Matches Your Interests I have had such positive experiences in Bhutan that it feels like my second home. This was my fourth visit, and I’m grateful to Sherab and Bhutan Travel Now for being so accommodating and supportive throughout the planning process. This trip was different from my previous visits because this time I wanted to visit a close friend in his hometown. Bhutan Travel Now completely personalized my experience so that I could maximize time with my friend and his family. Sherab was incredibly flexible and helpful, allowing me to curate my own itinerary and delivering seamless logistics. On the way to my friend's hometown, we made stops at new sites I hadn't seen to keep deepening my experience in the country. As a four-time traveler to Bhutan, I highly recommend Bhutan Travel Now for the team's flexibility and adaptability to help you experience the country in the way that fits your interests. Their team goes above and beyond to accommodate guests and make every visit truly special. Thank you, Sherab!

Memories with Travel Now Hello to all What started as a group trip to Bhutan slowly became a journey of connection, laughter, healing, and unforgettable memories. 🇧🇹✨ We are so grateful to Sherab from travel now and NIM guide to take care of us .. From singing together during long mountain drives to sharing tea, prayers, stories, and endless laughter — every moment felt special. The beauty of Bhutan is beyond words, but what made this trip truly magical were the team of Sherab and the warmth we received everywhere. The hospitality and services throughout the journey were excellent — comfortable stays, caring staff, smooth travel arrangements, delicious food, and guides who made us feel safe and welcomed at every step. Everything was handled with such sincerity and love that we could simply relax and absorb the peaceful energy of Bhutan. Standing together at monasteries, watching prayer flags dance in the wind, and experiencing the silence of the Himalayas created memories that will stay in our hearts forever. Travel Now gave us more than sightseeing — it gave us moments of togetherness, gratitude, peace, and inner joy. Truly thankful for this beautiful journey and everyone who made it so memorable. 🕉️

The Land of Happiness Our Bhutan journey with Prithvi Group, beautifully conducted by Archana Didi, was a truly peaceful and memorable experience. From the scenic beauty of Punakha, the charm of Thimphu, and the serenity of Paro, every place had its own magic. The comfortable hotels, colorful prayer flags fluttering in the mountains, joyful shopping experiences, and the calm happiness seen in the people made the trip even more special. A heartfelt thanks to Archana Didi for her warmth, care, and smooth planning that kept everyone comfortable and connected throughout the journey. Bhutan was not just a destination, but a feeling of peace and happiness that will stay with us forever.

Amazing solo trip experience in bhutan This was my first time visiting Bhutan, and I booked my trip with Bhutan Travel Now. Sherab personally made sure everything was arranged properly before we arrived. From airport pickup to hotel stays and sightseeing, everything went smoothly. One moment i still remember is visiting a quiet monastery in the mountains, it felt so peaceful and well-timed in the itinerary. The guide also explained local stories in a simple way, which made the experience more meaningful. Overall, it was a comfortable and well managed trip, especially for first time visitors like me i am glad i chose them for my bhutan journey.

excellent Choice: Bhutan Travel Now1 My family and I had always dreamed of visiting Bhutan. After nearly booking with a German agency, we were recommended Bhutan Travel Now, and we are so incredibly glad we chose them and worked with Sherab! From the very beginning, Sherab was exceptionally prompt and organized a perfectly flexible itinerary tailored to our family's needs. He provided excellent recommendations and handled all the logistics seamlessly, including booking our flights to Paro and organizing our visas. He accommodated all our wishes, reacted flexibly to changes, and truly made everything possible. We had so many highlights: witnessing both the Paro Festival and the Haa Spring Festival, and even exploring an off-the-beaten-path family heritage house in Trongsa. Our guide was professional, highly knowledgeable, and very friendly. Together with our excellent driver, Drupthop, they formed a fantastic team—always reliable, helpful, and in a great mood. Sherab shared deep insights into the Bhutanese people, their culture and religion, and their way of life—even my 18-year-old daughter was absolutely thrilled! We also loved the perfect balance of the trip, enjoying many wonderful short and longer hikes through the stunning landscape and tasty local food. If you are looking for a personal, reliable, and deeply authentic Bhutan experience, we cannot recommend Sherab and Bhutan Travel Now highly enough!

Memorable Bhutan Trip i recently traveled to Bhutan with Bhutan Travel Now and it was honestly one of the most memorable trips I have had. Everything was planned smoothly but what really stood out were the local experiences. We visited a farmhouse where Sherab invited us into his home and shared a traditional meal, it felt so genuine and heartfelt. We even tried archery, which was such a fun and unique experience. Bhutan’s culture, warm people, and peaceful vibe made the whole journey unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Trip with friends i found Bhutan Travel Now on TripAdvisor while planning a trip with my friends and honestly it turned out to be the best decision. From the start sherab and his team were very helpful and easy to talk to. They suggested a really good tour plan that matched what we wanted. Everything was well organized and we did not have to worry about anything during the trip. The best part was how they treated us. It did not feel like we were just customers, it felt more like family. Sherab even invited us to his home for a meal, which was such a special and memorable experience for all of us. The whole team was very friendly, supportive and always ready to help. Because of them, our trip became smooth, fun and full of great memories. I would definitely recommend Bhutan Travel Now to anyone planning to visit Bhutan. They truly make your trip feel personal and special.

Wonderful staff, fair pricing I have travelled many times to Bhutan in the past few years and Sherab arranged incredible itineraries every time. Each time was a unique and amazing experience and I feel like I got to understand the culture, kindness, and beauty of this amazing and special place. I highly recommend the home stay experience, camping in Bumdra, and, attending a festival. The hotels and restaurants were all great and accommodating to a vegetarian. Sherab and his team are very easy to deal with and truly customize trips to your interests. Highly recommend!
