Our Batch (1974) of doctors from GMC Nagpur keep on getting together, in smaller groups on several occasions, but in larger groups at least once in two years. This time (2018) we all decided to Travel Together to Bhutan in April, with the aim of getting together, conducting a CME, (Continued Medical Education conference) combining pleasure of Scenic beauty in a good natural environment, a getting to know a little more (personally) about the only country that measures Happiness Index rather than GDP. Since we were in large number, and BTC doesn’t allow outsiders to conduct tours there: we approached Triangle Travel to invite quotes from Bhutanese Agencies willing to take up managing this large a group(finally we were 85 travelers, including 4 kids less than 5 yrs of age). Out of the various offers, we picked up AD TOURS AND TRAVELS. Their offer was cost-effective for the 5 night 6 day tour, inclusive of Airfare n booking for 10 people from Delhi (to Paro), and the rest from Kolkata to Paro. Reception at Paro Airport, Properly planned groups from amongst us to be accommodated in clearly demarcated 6 Toyota Coaster 18 seater buses, with Hindi-English speaking wellmannered polite cooperative guides n bus drivers, Hassle free management of subgroup luggages, Abundant Supply of Packed Drinking water (throughout the trip), Nice (at least 4 star) properties to stay in with good arrangement for Breakfast/ dinner, AND entire group brought together for lunch at different locations, excellent itinerary of sight seeing (of course 2-3 sites on at least 3 Ds involving as per our previous agreement, payment of entry fee). We were lucky to see flower exhibition too, being held during that phase. Evenings we had earmarked for 3 hours Medical Conference, with different people amongst us enlightening on chosen topics, with dinner in between. We would retire by 10-30 pm or so: to get ready according to the itinerary the subsequent Morning. Twice we consumed the local famous red-rice with their traditional spicy dish ema datse. Cultural evening was nicely interjected on 27th: which all of us enjoyed to the hilt with active participation. Weather was excellent, almost never too cold (24-4-18 to 29-4-18); a luckily neither was it rainy. All the arrangements were impeccable, with excellent stay-facilities, with streamlined punctual execution. Once the quote was accepted: there were no <erations. Periodic payment schedule was stuck to by us as per initial agreement. The interaction with Mr Damber and Mr Gurung of AD TOURS helped sort out lot of queries of the travellers. I am grateful, they did not mind repeating a few points again and again over 2-4 months of interaction. It was professionally conducted excellent tour:all of us returned with fond memories to be cherished throughout life.Chela la pass was the highlight; Botanical garden with its Arch like long trek through dense forest was awesome, with everything else giving us a peep into their culture: past n present. Shopping centres had their own charm. Mr DB Gurung, the owner, was available to us 24×7 all through our stay n travel; Very polite, ever willing to help. We were provided local SIM cards (that would fit in any Smartphone): one per couple to integrate n communicate. Hotels and Resorts had wonderful atmosphere with excellent arrangements and spacious thoughtfully done up interiors in allotted rooms/ suites. We as a batch would highly recommend Triangle Travel to plan your trip. Ms Pearl Pallavi initially, and Mr AMIT Bhati till the end kept on coordinating with us, and with AD TOURS. They helped us get the best out of our “investment” into experiencing PLEASURE.
