Druk Air were a fantastic one to one…
Druk Air were a fantastic one to one experience. I am so glad I decided to get a personalised guide and driver as opposed to a group tour. Our every request from borrowing the national dress, asking strangers for photos and visiting off the itinerary places e.g. Paro Fortress was adhered to, no conditions asked. Our guide Yonko Dorji was a beacon of Buddhist knowledge and his explanations really brought the temples to life with his rich story telling. Every visitation was a transportation into the mythical, spiritual and superstitions of Bhutan, that kept us saying, 'wow'. But the tour got even better because of our outstanding driver Lhaka Drukpa, an enthusiastic and very humourous man, who helped us take photos and interact with the locals. I would highly recommend these two for any trip to Bhutan and will certainly be asking for them again next time I visit Bhutan :) Another note worth mentioning is the breathtaking flight from Katmandu to Paro, where you can see epic views of Mount Everest (on the left side). The highlight for many on this trip is of course the Tigers Nest, but for us it was the visit to a small temple of Longevity were we were able to enjoy a packed lunch with the resident monk high up on a mountain. I remember everyday clearly of my 6 day tour and this has been one of the best experiences of my life. I am so happy to have chosen Druk Air and am thrilled by the warm hearted welcome and ability of the guides to make you feel like you are traveling with genuine friends.
