Our 6-day trip with Wind Horse Tours was great! From the moment we were met at the airport by Pema and our driver (don't know how to spell his name), our trip was carefully organized to introduce us to western Bhutan’s highlights. The days were active but not exhausting, mixing enjoyable hikes with visits to important cultural sites. Pema explained a lot about Bhutan’s religion and culture as we visited temples, dzongs, etc., and he was interesting to chat with as we drove through the beautiful country. He was always willing to take the time to answer our questions. No request was too much trouble, such as spending more time here or there. The restaurants where we had lunches were well chosen by Pema. The hotels were very comfortable and provided good dinners and breakfasts. Our driver was also excellent – this was something we especially realized when we saw a serious car accident caused by a driver falling asleep. The only thing we would have preferred would be to have our hotels in Thimphu and Paro closer to town so we could walk around the area a bit.
