Bhutans best - Bhutan Best Inbound Tour ist a great travel agency. I was escorted and treated with so much respect and kindness i never saw before . I paid a very low price for a very cultural, spiritual and Photo trip troughout the country . My guide Chencho Dorji and driver Asha were all the time around me to support me in every single step. Thank you so much both of you.

It was an excellent trip to Bhutan (Phuentshillong, Thumpu, Punakha and Paro) for 6N/7D. Very well managed. - Bhutan trip (6N/7D)
We, six senior citizens (3 couples), went for a trip to a part of Bhutan, which was customized for our ease and convenience by the travel agency Nature Wings, permitting relaxation and comfort that we seek in such trips. For this type of trip we contacted a few travel agencies and finally selected the Nature Wings after being convinced by their approach. Our initial contact was Ms. Nilanjana Kundu, who after several telephonic and WhatsApp chats ensured that the trip will be tailor-made as per our need and comfort. Finally, as requested, all of us visited the office of Nature Wings at New Town, Kolkata carrying our passports and photographs. We had a meeting with Ms. Nilanjana where we met Ms. Takashi (a young Bengali lady) who happened to be our trip coordinator and turned out to be a real efficient one.
We finalized our trip and the itinerary after some discussions. For making thee-permits, photographs of our passport etc. were taken in their mobiles by Ms. Nilanjana and Ms. Takashi with great efforts, which consequently proved to be useless since, we had to resend scanned copies of our passports and good quality photographs to Mr. Montu Karmakar for subsequent uploading in thee-permit portal of Bhutan. A suggestion: Nature Wings may have a documents scanner available in their office.
Nature Wings booked the air tickets for the Kolkata-Bagdogra as well as the Paro-Kolkata sectors. And all the arrangements of our trip to Bhutan started after we were briefed by Mr. Raha about the culture and customs of Bhutan. Our round trip itinerary: Kolkata-Bagdogra (by air) - Phuentsholing (by car, overnight stay) - Thimpu (by car, 2 nights stay) – Punakha (by car, overnight stay) – Paro (by car, 2 nights stay) – Kolkata (by air). The tour package provided breakfast and dinner for all the days of our stay in Bhutan. Our journey started on the morning of March16, 2025 from Kolkata airport. At Bagdogra airport we were greeted by our driver Mr. Kumar with his Inova car to take us to Phuentsholing as arranged by Nature Wings. On the way, at our request, he took us to the restaurant Motorists Inn (on NH27, Karjipara, Jalpaiguri) where we had a very good lunch with delicious Boroli fish curry. Late in the afternoon, we met our guide Ms. Januka, a lovely, cheerful young lady at Jaigaon, the border town in India. She took us to Phuentsholing by walking through the immigration and put us to the hotel Gamega, close to the immigration point. The hotel was more or less alright, the entrance being a bit dirty. Complimentary dinner and breakfast was basic but tasty and clean.
Next morning we met our driver Mr. Phub and the HiAce luxury van (Toyota, 8 seater),which was supposed to transport us through the hilly terrains of Bhutan for all the coming days. The van was spacious and comfortable; the only problem for us(elderly persons with knee problems) was in getting in and getting out of the van as the steps for entry were at a height from the ground. This was solved successfully by Ms. Januka and Ms. Sabitra (our tour coordinator in Bhutan) by providing a small wooden stool to be placed near the steps. Ms. Sabitra was stationed in Thimpu and came to meet us in the hotel Migmar where we were accommodated. We found Ms. Sabitra to be a smart, caring and professionally competent young lady constantly keeping track of our tour and calling us each evening for our feedback. In fact, she changed some of the earlier assigned hotels because they didn't have lifts (elevators) considering our problems while climbing steps. Our driver Mr. Phub was a stoutly built, polite young person who was a very fine driver too. His driving through the hilly roads of Bhutan was very comfortable. Whenever requested, he stopped the van for taking photographs and suggested some appropriate spots for photography. The hotel Migmar in Thimpu was an excellent property with all modern amenities. From the windows of our rooms we could see the head of Sakyamuni Buddha and the view was marvelous in the moonlit night.
In Thimpu we visited the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha (a must visit spot), the Hindu Temple and a place called, ”Simply Bhutan”, where the culture and customs of Bhutan were demonstrated live. Because of the high entrance fee, some of us considered this place something like the proverbial "Delhi ka laddu".(No offence intended)! On our request Ms. Januka took us to a restaurant (Babesa Village restaurant) where authentic Bhutanese meals were served in Bhutanese style. It was a really a very nice experience to have a sumptuous Bhutanese meal and in the way the Bhutanese people take it. Thanks to Ms. Januka. We visited Paro via Punakha {old capital of Bhutan), a beautiful place located in the valley and had an overnight stay in a nice hotel (Pema Karpoo) located just in front of the river with a grand view of the river flowing through the valley. On the way we visited the Fertility temple and the suspension bridge, a very windy place with an excellent view. At Paro (a beautiful small town) we were put up in exquisitely constructed deluxe cottages in a resort (Rema resort)where the rooms were with wood paneled walls, floors and ceiling with overwhelming décor and nice view from the windows. The only problem was to climb steep wooden stairs to go to the dining hall. We visited the much talked about (over-hyped?) Che-le-la pass, located at a height of about thirteen thousand feet (a very cold and windy place). We returned to Kolkata by air and found the airport to be one of the very cute airports that we have seen.
The overall rating of the tour should honestly be “excellent”, mostly because of the personal care taken for the elderly persons like us besides efficient management. Much of the credit will go to Ms. Januka who with her sweet nature was able to create emotional bonds particularly with the ladies of our group. This was evident in the Paro airport when the ladies hugged Ms. Januka with tear-filled eyes to bid goodbye. Our many thanks to Ms. Sabitra and Ms. Takashi for all the sincere efforts they have put in to make our entire trip to Bhutan a pleasurable and comfortable one. Finally kudos to Nature Wings!

Incredible 14 days of cycling and hiking across Bhutan - We just finished an incredible two week cycling and hiking tour from Paro to Trashigang organized by Ms. Thinley of Bhutan Best Inbound. She was patient and open in learning our wishes and expectations and designed a fascinating journey in which we saw local festivals, visited remote monasteries and had wonderfully challenging cycling rides. We had to cancel our trip last year, and she was understanding and positive in organizing it again this year. All this in the varied sights and sceneries that characterize Bhutan. We were blessed with an extraordinary guide, Mr. Tsundu. He was able to educate us about Buddhism and Buddhism in Bhutan. His personal manner was attentive and understanding. He fine-tuned our journey as we traveled. We added hikes and discovered the beauty and the significance of the various Spring Festivals that were ladened with aesthetic, cultural and religious meaning. Tsondu was also informative about the history of Bhutan, the political developments of this country, and at the same time, guided us to appreciate the varieties of vegetations, wildlife, and living style in the various regions of Bhutan. We are a group of four cyclist in our late sixties who travel about once a year to a location that attracts us for its cultural, historical and natural qualities. For us, this trip was most organized, trouble-free, enriching and fulfilling!

Great tour in Bhutan - I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to visit Bhutan with Bhutan Best Inbound Tour.
Thinley made everything so easy and fast, (tour, visa) by WhatsApp.
Upon arrival I was warmly welcomed by a wonderful guide Phurba and driver Iham.
Phurba has excellent knowledge about the wonderful Bhutan and Buddhism. He conveyed and explained everything in a very interesting way.
Iham has great driving skills on winding roads.I felt very safe and comfortable while driving.
Both of them showed me more than was planned. I feel that I have truly experienced the beauty and uniqueness of Bhutan.
I felt like a welcome guest and not just an ordinary tourist.
Highly recommended!

Excellent tour guide and driver Bhutan - Tourism Council of Bhutan
Tour Guide: Sonam Yenten and driver Mr No No.
We organised our tour through Annapurna Encounter in Kathmandu (excellent) and were so fortunate to have these two gentleman, Sonam, our tour guide for the entire 5 days and our excellent driver, Mr No No. They were constantly there for us, always on time, professional and respectful always and fun as well. Sonam also hiked with us the 9 km to /from Tiger’s Nest, my main purpose of this trip. I’m almost 80 but determined and did it but both my friend/companion and Sonam were there in case I had any trouble. Took us 8 hours up and back thanks to me but we did it. And all I got was encouragement all the way. I just had to write and say thanks to these two gentlemen and hope that anyone reading this and going go Bhutan will be fortunate enough to get them as guide and driver. The knowledge Sonam possesses in his head is unbelievable. I noticed future guides in learning were leaning in to our explanations and listening and learning from Sonam.

Great Tour of Bhutan! - Bhutan Best Inbound Tour put together a great 10-night private tour for us. Our guide, LT, and our driver, Namgay, both could not have been better! They were both very service-oriented and lots of fun to be with. LT speaks fluent, clear English and was superior at explaining what we were seeing and tying it in with other places we had seen. He tailored things to our tastes and needs as we went, and both he and Namgay could not do enough for us. One night, they were out to 1:30 a.m. with us at a festival. Hotels were good. Dealing with Deki at Bhutan Best Inbound Tour was smooth. He gave us good advice and designed a great itinerary. We highly recommend them!

Hands down the best way to visit Bhutan - Bhutan Best Inbound Tour was FANTASTIC!
The team was kind, curious and responsive to all of our questions leading up to the trip and helped us plan a totally customized itinerary.
Once we arrived in Bhutan everything was seamless. We could not believe how well organized the tour was and how all logistics were taken care of.
Our guide, LT, was the absolute best. A great balance of informational and fun — keeping us engaged the entire time.
It was one of our best trips and even after 2 weeks we could have stayed longer.

Couldn't be happier! - I couldn't be happier with my 8 day tour of Bhutan. The itinerary was the perfect mix of nature, culture and fun. Our guide (Ugyen) and driver (Inda) were dedicated to ensuring my partner and I enjoyed every day, and more importantly, they made it feel like we were travelling with two local friends who were knowledgeable and passionate about their country. We were encouraged to amend the itinerary to suit our own interests. I definitely recommend Bhutan Best Inbound Tours to anyone considering visiting this beautiful part of the world. And if you're lucky enough to have Ugyen and Inda on your tour, you'll have an amazing experience.
