An adventure of a life time with my son in Bhutan!
My son and I have recently traveled to Bhutan and would highly recommend this trip to others who love adventure and learning about different places in the world. I am aware Bhutan is not a cheap country to travel in. Considering we as tourists contributing to the country I am happy to pay to support this. Certainly worth saving up to be able to come to this great country. My trip to Bhutan with my son, arranged through Blue Sky Escapes has been a trip of a lifetime for me. Lots of variety in places we stayed, great selection of areas to travel to, wonderful guides and driver and I'll certainly be recommending this wonderful adventure to my friends who love learning about culture and enjoying lots of walking AND climbing! I just loved my visit to Aum Choeday's, every bit about it, the welcoming hospitality, her cooking was amazing, the hot stone baths, checking out the farm life in the morning and walking around the garden. I love feeling part of the country I visit, so this was a great introduction. Forgot to mention those incredible steep steps up to our room! Highly recommended! Lhab Tshering: Lhab was fantastic. I learnt so much from him. I was very sorry to say goodbye to night as he had to leave us. Lhab guided me on my own on two walks which I loved. I would ask him to sing as we walked, some in English and in Bhutanese. He was fun to be with, very caring checking we were ok and the Company is very lucky to have him on the team. Bhu Tashi: Namgay has been a wonderful guide also. He is very knowledgeable and taught me so much about his country, the culture and the people. We had a lot of fun with him, and I loved how he was always keeping an eye on me and making sure everything was going well. The 3 staff, Lhab, Namgay and Phub were just terrific. 10/10!! Blue Sky Escapes clearly selected just the right people for the job, who love their work, are highly professional and great to travel with! Thanks to you all :) Paula Bain, Melbourne, Australia, aged 64. _ _ _
