We traveled without doing much research because we wanted to keep our expectations simple, and Bhutan ended up surpassing everything we imagined. The food, culture, and the way tourist sites are organized truly impressed us.

Bhutan Travel Now provided exceptional service from start to finish. Sherab Dorji was incredibly helpful and responsive, making the entire process smooth. Our driver and guide were knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. Even when a minor vehicle issue came up, they resolved it quickly and kept the journey seamless.

Every part of the itinerary felt well planned, and we always felt cared for. The warm hospitality and thoughtful arrangements made the trip even more memorable.

I did a 5 day tour as a solo traveller to Bhutan with this company in end October visiting Thimpu, Punakha and Paro. The trip was nothing but perfect! My guide was awesome and so was my driver, and the CEO of the company even took the time to have dinner with me one evening. Hospitality at it’s best and at a level I have not experienced anywhere else (and i am a globetrotter going on my 67th country). Moreover, the hotels were really nice and so was the food.
I will remember Bhutan for it’s beautiful sceneries, it’s fascinating and unique buildings and its friendly and warm people. It makes me want to come back one day.
Thank you to Bhuthan Travel Now for making my stay there memorable.
I give the company my warmest recommendations

12/10!
I had the trip of a lifetime with Bhutan Travel Now on my 11-day solo journey. My guide Sherab and driver/guide Karma were outstanding-knowledgeable, caring, and always going the extra mile. The itinerary was tailored to my interests, with a great mix of hikes and cultural experiences, including hidden trails and sights off the beaten path. The accommodation and food far exceeded expectations, and Sherab's local connections even got me a few lovely upgrades along the way.
As a female solo traveler, I always felt completely safe and well taken care of. I cannot recommend Bhutan Travel Now highly enough for anyone wanting a truly personalized and unforgettable Bhutan experience!

Our trip of a lifetime
Apr 2024 • Family
We spent 10 days in Bhutan in April 2019, which was organized by Sherab when he still worked for his family business. When we arrived at Paro airport, after an exciting approach, we were very warmly welcomed by the tour company.
Our journey was very well organized and we visited many cultural places.
One of the most memorable was the school in the middle of nowhere. The children were so well behaved. One teacher for 90 children over 3 classes.
Also very impressive was the climb over the Chelela pass and the Tiger's Nest Monastery. And many more memorable places....
We highly recommend to visit Bhutan with Sherab.

We spent two weeks in Bhutan and our trip was coordinated by Sherab. We went from Paro to Phobjika Valley. It was a very well organised trip and we were well taken care of, also learning many things about Bhutan and her wonderful people along the way. All accommodations arranged were fantastic and we greatly enjoyed our time in Bhutan. Sherab even came down to meet us on the last night for dinner and gave us some souvenirs of Bhutan that we could take home with us.
