Testimonials

It was a very pleasant experience we had during our trip, we had a few hiccups but the Agent Mr. Gurung, helped us overcome those and we made the most of our trip. I have already recommended him to a few of my friends, who were interested.

Tip 1: instead of flying directly to Paro , i would recommend a road trip from Phuentsholing rather the journey is picturesque. Also the souvenirs are much cheaper in p'ling compared to any other city. Tip 2: Indian currencies are accepted here upto denomination of 500INR. Tip 3: Definitely indulge in local food if you are a foodie (Check out Zombala or simply bhutan in Thimpu) Tip 4: Cut some slack. Locals are very helpful, in case if the staff in your hotel is getting confused with your requirement explain it to them calmly with a wide smile and they are happy to help.

Thanks to AD Bhutan tours for making this trip memorable. Their service is really good and quick. Both Ms. Saraswati and Mr. DB Gurung were constantly in touch and checking if we need anything. We did face few hiccups in our hotel accommodation however the team instantly looked for an alternative. My suggestions have been taken very positively and I bet it's only going to get better. The driver assigned to us Mr Phuntsho was fabulous and professional. Overall a very good experience and would definitely recommend the future travellers of Bhutan to travel with them.

While we were choosing agent. there was some doubt in air while looking at some of older reviews. Though we initiated the process, the best part we like about is responsiveness, flexibility, listening ability and quick turnaround as major plus of Mr. Damber Gurung. It was 12 nights 13 days trip(18-30th March, 2019). The whole itinerary was as per us, how we wanted; with each and every thing well defined. we are kind of people who define what we want to do and choose on basis who can fulfill the requirement best. Now starting with trip all tickets, cab and hotel booking were done well in advance in our choice of hotels; also all vouchers shared as per agreed timeline. Now coming to parts of the tour. Hotels, all were amazing (Tashi Nagmey(Paro), Ramada Valley(Thimphu), Drubchu resort(Punakha), Hotel Dewachen (Phubjika), Bumthang(Jakar Village lodge)) we got complimentary upgrade in Paro and Thimphu. Cab, we got SUV, with an amazing driver and gem of person Mr. Gyadhen Jamtsho, a clear hearted man who try to ensure that you are happy. Now some parts where traveler needs to take a lead like please check the timings of all dzongs & Lakhangs. Also check on what attire needs to worn. Kindly note that if you are travelling ahead of Thimphu towards Punakha, Phobjika and Bhumthang, road permit to be taken from Thimphu. Better you can visit with driver so that correct information can be given in one go. There is one caution that in some of lakhang and dzongs they will ask specifically for guide, though Indian's don't need to have a guide as a necessity. In this please ask your driver to keep their traditional dress with him and should accompany you to avoid these kind of situations, as in that case they generally don't ask much. Tip: On standard itinerary please check what all places you want to visit and timings. Also check what places are good to eat, as you can eat in evening outside and come to hotel later. In Tashi Namgey: Take rooms on 1st floor like 117, also hotel got a good massage center. Ramada Valley: Take rooms having river view.

Tiger's Nest is a must go. It's a hike and takes time and makes you tired but it's totally worth it . please do it when you visit Bhutan. Also the overall hospitality of Bhutan people is excellent. It made the trip even better than it already was. So glad I choose Bhutan for my birthday plus honeymoon trip.
Mr. Damber and his brother Mr. Gurung are really nice people to talk to. Helped me with creating a good package. The driver assigned to us Mr. Upahar was really nice and cool person. He was right on time everywhere. We gelled along well during the trip. Just that a driver with guide knowledge is better. We felt that a little missing. Otherwise it was an excellent trip overall. Really happy.

A week has passed since we returned from the Bhutan Trip and still unable to get over the wonderful time we had together. The holiday was ab unforgettable experience for all 10 of us in the Group. I traveled from Melbourne Australia to join my brother and sisters and their families at Bhubaneswar, then took train to NJP from where we were picked up by AD Tours and Travels for 6 nights 7 days tour of the wonderful land of Bhutan. Damber with who I made the initial contact is an amazing guy as he so meticulously arranged everything for us including tour planning, guide and hotels which really worked well for us and were to the liking of everyone in the Team. Phubjika Valley and Tigers nest were the most beautiful places apart from Timphu, Punakha and Paro. Suman Rai was an exceptional guide and so was the driver Jombay. Being an Australian Citizen, the tour fees were very high for me, however is worth of it at the end. Wherever we visited we noticed people are so nice and friendly. Many within the Team are dog lovers and noticed them so good to welcome the visitors at every place. They perhaps very well represent the humbleness of Bhutan. Hotel staff are very friendly. All Team members are aligned with the above score.

I was talking with Mr. Damber and Mr. Gurung, both were very helpful and outstanding. I found the experience very memorable without any problem throughout the trip. All arrangements were made as per the discussion and requirement. Hotels and given transportations were the best.

Tshechu festival where we got to see the King in person, a lovely hike in Gangtey Valley, a really good, accommodating and knowledgable guide/ driver! Given that it was a last minute trip during peak season, AD tours and travel was able to arrange and customise the tour as per my demands. Despite a bit of coordination hitches at the beginning we had a great and well-planned 8 days trip

Bhutan what to say....Such a beautiful and peaceful country. It was one of the best place I visited till now. We are mesmerized by the gigantic mountains, scenic beauty, beautiful hills, deep forests, amazing culture, valleys and honesty. We thoroughly enjoyed our trekking to Taktsang Monastery, River Rafting, Hot Stone Bath, Candle Light Dinner, Team Dinner, visit to Chele La Pass, Dochula Pass and Fortress. In our journey of 8 days we visited Thimphu, Paro, Punakha and Phobjikha Valley. All cities are so beautiful that engraves in our heart. Due to time restrain we couldn't visit Bumthang. But we will definitely visit there. Again thank you so much to Mr. Gurung and Mr. Tashi for your assistance. Hope to visit Bhutan soon :). Happy Memories :)
The AD Tours and Travel organized our holiday in beautiful Bhutan. Mr. Gurung and Mr. Tashi was extensively helpful and supportive throughout our tour. They have taken care of each and every thing very precisely.

My son enjoyed snow for the first time. And liked tigers nest monestary. Excellent trip, liked to share travel agents with my friends and family in future. Well planned trip on short notice.

Our B&tch (1974) of doctors from GMC N&gpur keep on getting together, in sm&ller groups on sever&l occ&sions, but in l&rger groups &t le&st once in two ye&rs. This time (2018) we &ll decided to Tr&vel Together to Bhut&n in April, with the &im of getting together, conducting & CME, (ContinuedMedic&lEduc&tion conference) combining ple&sure of Scenic be&uty in & good n&tur&l environment, & getting to know & little more (person&lly) &bout the only country th&t me&sures H&ppiness Index r&ther th&n GDP. Since we were in l&rge number, &nd BTC doesn't &llow outsiders to conduct tours there: we &ppro&ched Tri&ngle Tr&vel to invite quotes from Bhut&nese Agencies willing to t&ke up m&n&ging this l&rge & group(fin&lly we were 85 tr&velers, includ-ing 4 kids less th&n 5 yrs of &ge). Out of the v&rious offers, we picked up AD TOURS AND TRAVELS. Their offer w&s cost-effective for the 5 night 6 d&y tour, inclusive of Airf&re n booking for 10 people from Delhi (to P&ro), &nd the rest from Kolk&t& to P&ro. Reception &t P&ro Airport, Properly pl&nned groups from &mongst us to be &ccommod&ted in cle&rly dem&rc&ted 6 Toyot& Co&ster 18 se&ter buses, with Hindi-English spe&king wellm&nnered polite cooper&tive guides n bus drivers, H&ssle free m&n&gement of subgroup lugg&ges, Abund&nt Supply of P&cked Drinking w&ter (throughout the trip), Nice (&t le&st 4 st&r) properties to st&y in with good &rr&ngement for Bre&kf&st/ dinner, AND entire group brought together for lunch &t different loc&tions, excellent itiner&ry of sight seeing (of course 2-3 sites on &t le&st 3 Ds involving &s per our previous &greement, p&yment of entry fee). We were lucky to see flower exhibition too, being held during th&t ph&se. Evenings we h&d e&rm&rked for 3 hours Medic&l Conference, with different people &mongst us enlightening on chosen topics, with dinner in between. We would retire by 10-30 pm or so: to get re&dy &ccording to the itiner&ry the subsequent Morning. Twice we consumed the loc&l f&mous red-rice with their tr&dition&l spicy dish em& d&tse. Cultur&l evening w&s nicely interjected on 27th: which &ll of us enjoyed to the hilt with &ctive p&rticip&tion. We&ther w&s excellent, &lmost never too cold (24-4-18 to 29-4-18); & luckily neither w&s it r&iny. All the &rr&ngements were impecc&ble, with excellent st&y-f&cilities, with stre&mlined punctu&l execution. Once the quote w&s &ccepted: there were no <er&tions. Periodic p&yment schedule w&s stuck to by us &s per initi&l &greement. The inter&ction with Mr D&mber &nd Mr Gurung of AD TOURS helped sort out lot of queries of the tr&vellers. I &m gr&teful, they did not mind repe&ting & few points &g&in &nd &g&in over 2-4 months of inter&ction. It w&s profession&lly conducted excellent tour:&ll of us returned with fond memories to be cherished throughout life.Chel& l& p&ss w&s the highlight; Bot&nic&l g&rden with its Arch like long trek through dense forest w&s &wesome, with everything else giving us & peep into their culture: p&st n present. Shopping centres h&d their own ch&rm. Mr DB Gurung, the owner, w&s &v&il&ble to us 24x7 &ll through our st&y n tr&vel; Very polite, ever willing to help. We were provided loc&l SIM c&rds (th&t would fit in &ny Sm&rtphone): one per couple to integr&te n communic&te. Hotels &nd Resorts h&d wonderful &tmosphere with excellent &rr&ngements &nd sp&cious thoughtfully done up interiors in &llotted rooms/ suites. We &s & b&tch would highly recommend Tri&ngle Tr&vel to pl&n your trip. Ms Pe&rl P&ll&vi initi&lly, &nd Mr AMIT Bh&ti till the end kept on coordin&ting with us, &nd with AD TOURS. They helped us get the best out of our "investment" into experiencing PLEASURE.
