Thimphu
Welcome to Bhutan, the Land of the Thunder Dragon. Touching down at Paro International Airport, you will be greeted by your guide upon exiting the arrival hall. Today, we will take it easy to acclimatise to the altitude. Drive to Thimphu, check in to the hotel and lets have your first taste of Bhutanese cuisine.
Motithang Takin Preserve
Motithang Takin Preserve, located in the Motithang district of Thimphu, Bhutan is a wildlife reserve area for Takin, the national animal of Bhutan. Originally a mini-zoo, it was converted into a preserve when it was discovered that the animals refrained from inhabiting the surrounding forest even when set free. The reason for declaring Takin as a national animal of Bhutan is attributed to a legend of the animal’s creation in Bhutan in the 15th century by Lama Drukpa Kunley

Our trip to Bhutan was truly amazing, and we are grateful to Ugyen Dema for arranging everything so perfectly. Ugyen was responsive and thoughtful. She made sure every detail was taken care of, which really allowed us to just relax and enjoy Bhutan’s beauty. A special mention goes to our guide, Dorji Wangchuk and driver, Tshering. Both were absolutely wonderful. Dorji was knowledgeable, friendly and patient, sharing fascinating insights to Bhutanese culture, history and traditions. Tshering was careful, steady, friendly and always made us feel safe and comfortable, even on the winding mountain roads. Thank you for their efforts, we got to experience Bhutan in such a meaningful and memorable way from stunning landscapes, breathtaking monasteries and peaceful valleys. We are so grateful for this unforgettable trip. Highly recommend Ugyen Dema and her team to anyone visiting Bhutan! ❤️

We have had the most amazing seven days in Bhutan on Druk Asia's tour. Can't thank the staff enough. Sonem for organising it all and also helping out when our connecting flights were cancelled and above all to our amazing guide Ugyen and our driver Kayzan for making us feel welcome, comfortable and having a great laugh with us all the way. We planned the trip to coincide with a festival, which also was amazing and a privilege to witness. Also our hotels were excellent and lunch destinations had some outstanding meals, especially the Merengma in Punakha. Will need to review them separately to give them due credit. There is nothing we would have changed in the itinerary and we were continuously amazed at the beauty of the country and the chill of the people (and cows and dogs). We hope to return to see further afield and explore some more remote and beautiful places.

Druk Asia / Soul Trips were highly recommended to us by two separate friends for planning a trip to Bhutan. We are thoroughly glad to have followed their advice - we love Bhutan and need to come back! Mr Sangay Dorji from Druk Asia was prompt, efficient, and reliable in making the arrangements for our trip. All payments and bookings (flights, visa, hotels, etc) were handled seamlessly. The final itinerary, flight vouchers and e-Visas were sent to us two weeks in advance, giving us much time for preparations. We especially appreciated the tips and links provided by Druk Asia on what to expect in Bhutan (e.g. food, weather, what to pack, cultural norms, simple phrases in Dzongka). The whole process was very satisfactory and left us feeling excited for the trip. After a smooth transition and exciting landing into Bhutan, we then met with our guide, Mr Kinley Dorji (Yongko) and our driver, Mr Sangay Choedup. For the next 7 days, they took immaculate care of our travel needs. They make an excellent pair and are both great representatives of Bhutan. We wish to especially commend our guide, Mr Yongko, for his extensive knowledge, detailed explanations, sincere care towards us, and flexibility in arranging the itinerary towards our needs during the trip. A well-prepared guide who is passionate about his culture and country, it is clear that Yongko is well-loved by his peers but carries a humble and friendly demeanour. We also heartily commend Mr Sangay for his steady and safe driving (and climbing up Tiger's Nest with us!). His relaxed and humorous presence was the cherry on top of our delightful journey. The long, winding roads around the mountains take a lot of energy and care to navigate, which Mr Sangay handled with ease. Bhutan is indescribably calm and lovely. We have only scratched the surface of its cultural and natural beauty. We have brought home many fond memories and look forward to returning again in the future. Thank you to Druk Asia & Soul Trips for your excellent work. We have passed on many recommendations to our friends and family!

I'm glad we picked Druk Asia/ Soul Trips to explore Bhutan. Our guide, Kinley, impressed us with his deep knowledge of Bhutan’s culture and history.. He intuitively adapted to our interests and was flexible with adjusting the itinerary when we were tired. And he generously invited us to his house for a home-cooked meal! The connections we made on this trip are definitely different from a typical sightseeing trip. We visited a farmhouse and had a cooking class, and were able to learn more about how the locals live.

A beautiful, stress-free, well balanced holiday. Booking and getting a visa through Druk Asia was very simple. Communication was prompt and helpful. From being met at the airport on arrival to departure, our guide (Kinley) took care of everything. He was knowledgeable about the country, culture, religion, and locations. He was also receptive to the group and modified the trip based on interest and energy levels - I highly recommend him. Overall the trip was a great mix of sightseeing, hiking, shopping, relaxing and eating (the food was great). The hotels were clean and comfortable. An amazing country and amazing holiday.

I would like to sincerely commend both my guide, Yeshi, and our driver, also Yeshi, for their outstanding efforts and warm hospitality during my recent trip to Bhutan in April 2025. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond to make our journey truly unforgettable. The hotels we stayed in were above average in quality, offering comfort and a peaceful ambiance. Every request we made was promptly attended to with genuine care. Although it took us a little while to get used to the local cuisine, we eventually grew to love it—every dish was a delightful introduction to Bhutanese flavors, rich in culture and taste. Our guide, Yeshi, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate. He continuously shared fascinating insights, stories, and fun facts during our sightseeing trips, which helped me learn so much about Bhutan's rich history, vibrant culture, and profound spirituality. His depth of knowledge was admirable, and I was touched to learn that he is an experienced trekker who has been with the company for 12 years. His dedication truly shines through every word he shares. Our driver, Yeshi, brought joy and laughter throughout the journey. From opening car doors with a smile to handling our luggage with care, he made sure we felt safe and well looked after at every turn. He took immense pride in his role, and his cheerful energy added so much fun and warmth to our days. The dynamic between both Yeshi(s) was truly special. On one hand, we had a seasoned, wise guide who filled our minds with knowledge, and on the other, a playful, lighthearted companion who kept our spirits high. Together, they created the perfect balance of learning and laughter, making the trip both enriching and deeply enjoyable. One of the most heartfelt moments of the trip was the hike to Tiger's Nest. I must deeply commend both of them for their extraordinary patience, kindness, and support towards my 68-year-old mother. They helped her every step of the way—offering encouraging words, taking frequent breaks, supporting her by the elbow, cracking jokes, and even singing songs to lift her spirits. Despite her weak knees and slow pace, they never once rushed her, and because of their loving encouragement, she was able to complete the entire 8-hour hike. Watching them care for her so sincerely brought tears to my eyes—I’ll always hold that memory close to my heart. Words cannot express how thankful I am to both of them for making this journey so meaningful and unforgettable. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for creating such beautiful, lasting memories. This is, without a doubt, one of the best trips of my entire life. Because of the two Yeshis, I’ve fallen completely in love with Bhutan—its culture, its people, its faith, and its spirit. I’ve promised myself that I will return to explore more of this magical country. Now, I fully understand why Bhutan is ranked as the happiest country in the world. I felt that happiness every single day of my trip—thanks to both of you.

Druk Asia provides timely and excellent service in allowing me customising the itinerary to what I like. Sonam never fails to give me a good and fast response. I was even allowed to choose my own guide. When I was in Bhutan, Tsewang Dema gave me a very warm welcome and she really provided excellent service. She was very knowledgeable in the history and culture and took very good care of me throughout the trip. Her encouraging words helped me to hike through the mountains when I felt like giving up. Also during the festival, she continued to take care of me when it was raining, making sure that I have a good view of the festival. Never felt so welcoming by a stranger whom I met for the first time. Certainly will highly recommend Dema as the guide to go to in Bhutan trip. Will go back to the beautiful country again, with Dema again.

We booked a tour with DrukAsia/Soultrips to Bhutan from 19 to 25 Jan 2025 for Ed Shereen Concert tour package and was assigned tour guide, Mr Dorji Wangchuk and driver, Mr Kuenga. Mr Dorji was the best guide anyone could asks for! He is eloquent in English (also speaks multiple languages in Hindi and Nepali by the way), friendly, attentive and knowledgable. He always went the extra mile to ensure we are comfortable during the trip, requests for all the hotels to give us the rooms with the best views, bring us to explore the local food places and shrines, temples, gift shops, ensuring our safety and also enhancing our experiences. He shares a lot on the culture, life and historical places around Thimphu, Punakha and Paro, we learnt so much from him! He is so helpful and often offer to carry our bags or items for us so we can shop or hike with ease. He even brought us snacks and water during our hike up to Tiger Nest, always keeping a lookout for our safety and comfort. During the D-day for Ed Shereen's concert, he even went above and beyond to find ways to bring us quickly and safely into our ticket zone, and soughting help from his friend to secure us good view seats! This kind gesture was surely beyond his role as a tour guide and we are grateful and touched by this experience :) Added bonus that Mr Dorji is an award winning photographer and when he knew we went Bhutan to take some casual pre-wedding shoot, he took the initiative to help us to take superb nice and professional photos with Bhutan's amazing scenary and places. Mr Kuenga is such a professional and safe driver! He is patient and always ensuring the car's heater is ready for us, helping us with our luggages and bags, opening the car doors for us. His attention to details make the rides so comfortable, we always have a new water bottled at our car doors' compartment each day, with a pack of wet wipes for our usage. He also always ensures the car is clean and neat before we begin our adventure each day. He took the effort to always arrive earlier to wait for us and help us with our bags, also patiently waiting for us when we alight for short breaks or shopping. His chemistry with Mr Dorji was great too as you can see and sense the good vibes and friendship amongst them throughout the trip. Thank you so much to the both of them for making our trip so wonderful and memorable, we will certainly recommend both Mr Dorji and Mr Kuenga to everyone going to Bhutan for an amazing and enjoyable trip!

I have just returned from Bhutan with a friend. We had a wonderful time filled with unforgettable memories. This had been made possible by our caring, thoughtful and experienced guide, Mr Ugyen Tshewang and our driver, Mr Sonam Thuji, a handsome, witty, young chap who is very careful and skilful with his driving. I could not thank them both enough for helping me to get to the Tiger's Nest (especially the descent) with my weak wobbly knees. Throughout the journey from Thimpu back to Paro, we were very fortunate to see many types of animals along the way eg. Himalayan gray langur, macaque, yak, and more. Not to mention the amazing view of the Himalayan mountains at the Dorchula Pass, local Bhutanese food (including home cooked dishes) and local Ara rice wine. We brought back all the wonderful good times, laughter and experiences. I highly recommend having these two chaps to bring you around for a once in a lifetime experience in Bhutan. The agent at the DrukAsia Singapore office, Ms Uygen Dema is extremely helpful and quick in her response whenever we had queries and request. Worth joining a tour with DrukAsia

I just returned from a Druk Asia tour in Bhutan. I was very well taken care of by SONAM CHOKI, who was an excellent and informative guide, and NAMGAY THAYE, our very competent, patient, and friendly driver. Sonam Choki provided a wealth of valuable information about and insights into the history of Bhutan in the context of the region, the political leadership of the country, and Bhutanese cultural values and religious practices. I was fortunate to visit an important Buddhist festival on my first day. Afterwards, I was guided in tours of many memorable dzongs and temples, and I had ample opportunities to appreciate the countryside and mountains. Sonam and Namkey took me to several local restaurants for momos and noodles. I was also able to sample all kinds of organic, locally grown vegetables and fruits at two farms as well as at a mountain hotel. Visiting a monastery enabled me to watch sports competitions among the young monks, and at a convent I asked three Buddhist nuns to chant prayers for my family. Along the way, I was able to meet various local people, including government workers and students. I enjoyed everything about my visit, from the clean air and beautiful scenery to the interesting architecture and building designs. Druk Asia arranged thoughtful and tasty vegetarian meals for me. Best of all was the company of Sonam and Namgay, hosts par excellence.
