Go beyond ‘checklist’ travel
Just completed my third small group tour with Koryo and specifically my third with tour leader Greg (Gergo) Vaczi. This time it was the new 9-day Eastern Bhutan tour - a unique way into this country when most people are flown straight to the Western cities of Paro and Thimphu, missing out on some (in the true sense of the word) authentic experiences (like our home stay in a valley village, our visit to a semi-nomadic community in their mountain home, tea with the Governor, and mass prayers for peace with a Buddhist community). Koryo Tours can be relied on for thoughtfully planned tours. With Koryo, I haven’t just ‘been’ somewhere (ticking a box), I’ve learned something. And made new friends.
