Visit to Bhutan with Yak Holidays
Just got back from Bhutan with Yak Holidays. During the initial planning, we approached a few other tour operators before deciding to go with Yak. Throughout the whole planning process, we found Mr. Sithar easy to work with and also very accommodating. Always very prompt to reply to my emails and questions and that did make us feel at ease.
From the minute we landed in Paro, we were taken good care of by Lal(guide) and Nima (driver). Lal was very informative, patiently sharing his knowledge of his country, culture and history of all the places we visited. We even get the chance to visit a local market in Thimphu. Nima was a good driver and we felt safe with him behind the wheels especially in some parts of the roads which were quite challenging.
We had a great time in Bhutan and it was very nice of Sithar to..
Great memories
Yak Holidays (Sithar) arranged an absolutely wonderful visit to Bhutan. He was easy to deal with by (email) even though there was a 12 hr. time difference.
We are back home now with lots of great memories and images. The Yak tour guide and driver (Kinga and Nima) showed us their country in a very caring, thoughtful and in a very personalized way. Kinga is a budding artist, and gave us great insights into Thangka art. The sites and activities chosen kept us busy, interested, but did not fatigue us. Our visit happened between festivals, but Sithar was able to put on a nice cultural program with some local artists. The food and lodgings were excellent, and we were able to get some recipes from the cooks to take back home. Ema datshi is now a staple in our home.
Kinga and Nima were outstanding tour guides and…
Exquisite Himalayan Kingdom!
My husband and I spent 6 days travelling in beautiful Bhutan with Yak Holidays Int’l. The scenery was breathtaking, the history fascinating and the people were warm and welcoming. Our guide, Milan and our driver, Tashi took very good care of us. Milan had immense knowledge regarding the history and culture of his beautiful country and shared it with great pride. Tashi was an excellent driver and negotiated those challenging roads with grace, patience and expert skill. We felt very safe and cared for in the hands of Milan and Tashi at all times. We celebrated our 30th anniversary while in Bhutan and Milan took the time to inform our hotel of this. The hotel decorated our room for the occasion and had a special table set up for us at dinner at Milan’s request. My husband became ill the night before our hike up to Tiger’s nest…
Bhutan trip experience with Yak Holidays Int'l
Yak Holidays Int’l arranged a 15 day tour for me as a solo traveller. I cannot say enough about the extremely high level of service they provided me from the moment I arrived at Paro to my departure. I can only thank Mr Sithar Tamang for the excellent service and flexible itinerary he provided me, with quick and courteous answers and was constantly in touch with me. Many thanks to Mr Tashi (driver) and Mr Jigyme (guide) for keeping me safe and as well as entertained throughout the entire 15 days I was in Bhutan both the guide and the driver had immense knowledge about the history and culture of Bhutan.
Overall my Bhutan trip was amazing and all thanks to the team of Yaks Holidays Int’l and can’t wait to explore more of Bhutan soon for eastern bhutan…
Bhutan Travel with Yak Holidays
My trip to Bhutan with Yak holidays was very pleasant from the very beginning to the end. I have nothing but praise for Mr Sithar and his team. The driver and the guide who were with me were highly knowledgeable. In the near future if anyone decides to travel to Bhutan I would highly recommended Yak Holidays Int’l.
A good trip to beautiful Bhutan.
Just came back from 7 days Bhutan trip to Thimpu-Punakha-Gangtey-Paro on 27 Oct – 2 Nov.
There’re hiccups here and there, hotels were not the same as per itinerary or even the one listed on visa letter.
And because I requested Chele La pass, Sithar was very kind to oblige and included Chele La Pass to my itinerary together with Tiger nest trip. The thing is I didn’t manage to go the Chele La Pass because the tour guide said it’s far from Paro!
Any comment about this Sithar?
As for my tour guides (Milan and Tashi), both were a good tour guide! Learned a lot about Bhutan especially from Tashi. Thanks for the…
Superb!
Our trip to Bhutan with Yak Holidays was superbly organised. We have absolutely nothing to comment apart from giving them praise. The hotels that were proposed were perfect, not luxurious but they all gave us a taste of Bhutan. All hotels were comfortable and all were clean with properly equipped pleasant rooms. Food was tasty but not very varied.
The trip emphasized Bhutan’s beautiful traditions and culture.
Our guide and driver were perfect. Tashi 1 (guide) and Tashi 2 (driver) were extremely friendly and contributed to give us a great time. The guide gave us plenty of explanations, stories and anecdotes and driver was and we felt totally safe with him, in spite of some parts of the roads.
The cream on the cake was obviously the Tiger’s Nest and we had a perfect day. Sunny, not too warm, not too many visitor
Excellent Bhutan Tour Company.
Yak Holidays took good care of my 9-day holiday through Bhutan. They tailored the trip to my interests and provided an outstanding guide and driver, Jigme and Dorji Drukpa. The guide was knowledgeable, personable, and accommodating to see places having more interest to me. The driver did an outstanding job in what was at times challenging circumstances due to road conditions. It was a pleasure to work with Jigme and Dorji, and my tour through Bhutan will be memorable due to their dedicated service. I would highly recommend Yak Holidays for touring Bhutan.
Wonderful trip.

What a great trip!! no worries, just fun and safety travel. All yak travel staff is aware of travelers needs and provide us with an excelent service. I recomend this company for all who want a great holidays at Bhutan.
Great Company,Amazing Staff ! Very Professional !
Bhutan–one of the top destinations in my bucket list that I wanted to visit since ages. So, when I finally decided to go ahead with my dream destination, Yak Holidays chimed in. I booked a trip with them last year August and from airport pick up to drop off, it was flawless. Being a solo female traveler, I had so many questions for Sithar about the country, trip etc. And he was very prompt, courteous to answer all my queries and was constantly in touch with me. Sithar took care of all my permits, flights and even changed one of the hotels that I didn’t like in Paro without any fuss. Though I was traveling solo but my guide Jigme and driver Guruji became my companions for those 8 days. Both of them highly knowledgeable, very friendly and the best part-very accommodating. No rush, no hurry to…
Great company to show you around a great country
I have visited Bhutan three times with Yak Holidays. They are a very good company with great communication. I have had three different guides for my tours, but they have all been good. The vehicles are in perfect/new condition and the drivers are great.
Seamless and Spectacular Tour
Yak Holidays is extremely responsive and worked with me to make the perfect itinerary for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Bhutan. Our guide Jigme was very flexible in ensuring we got to see (and eat!) everything we wanted to during our trip, and our driver Yota did a great job in chauffeuring us across the country. Would highly recommend Yak Holidays to anyone looking to travel to Bhutan.
Cycling Tour of Bhutan
Sent a friend couple through Yak who organised a flawless cycling tour of Bhutan for them. Professional tour arrangements and management.
Memorable visit to Bhutan- made easy with Yak Holidays.
Everything was taken care of by Yak Holidays, We were in Bhutan in March for a 12 day cultural tour. We saw everything we wanted to. Because it was just my wife and I if we wanted to change the itinerary it was no problem. Our guide Mandhoj and driver Yota were wonderful. I have no idea how Yota drove through those mountain passes with Yaks, dogs, rocks, cows, horses, landslides etc almost every step of the way. Mandhoj is an amazing man, his English was great as was his Spanish- he is a passionate guide, and extremely knowledgeable. All of the hotels were good, and all of the stops worthwhile
Memorable trip with our amazing guide & driver.
My boyfriend and I finished a 9-day trip with Yak Holidays in early November. Bhutan as a country is truly magical and amazing – it is one of the most beautiful and lovely place I’ve ever been. However, it is the simple but genuine hospitality of the Bhutanese people that truly sets the country apart.
Our entire experience was smooth and very pleasant right from the start. Before our trip, Sithar from Yak Holidays provided us with all the information we needed (including a detailed itinerary) and was very prompt in his email responses.
When we reached Bhutan, the team also presented us with a beautiful picture book (prepared by Yak Holidays) on Bhutan with very useful information on various aspects of the kingdom. A lot of effort must have gone into creating the book!
Most importantly, our guide Lal and driver Dawa were truly amazing!
An Amazing Trip to Bhutan - Thank you Yak Holidays!.
My husband and I booked a 6 Nights, 7 Day Cultural Trip of Bhutan and enjoyed
every single minute of it. From the very start, we were greeted by our enthusiastic and
knowledgeable guide and our faithful driver. There is nothing more that you can ask for
in a holiday package – from the attractions, to the local cuisine, to the gorgeous people and scenery. THANK YOU for hosting us Yak Holidays. We hope to return one day.
Magical trip in a magical country.
We’ve just finished a 9-day trip with a packed itinerary including Paro, Thimpu, Punakha and the 3-day/ 2-night Chelela trek.
Very professional and courteous guide and driver arranged by Yak Holidays. They were also the least expensive (I’ve asked for a number of quotes for the same itinerary).
Very helpful in the planning stage too, prompt responses on email and always following up on requests and promises.
I can only recommend this agency to anyone who wants to experience the best of Bhutan.
One of my best trip.
Yak Holiday In’t arranged a 9-day tour for me as a solo traveler. Not only the details itinerary custom made for me, I can even change it as I wish. All I can say is how flexible they are.
Not forgetting the prompt reply from the company in exchanging email and they always do their very best to answer your questions and help you in the best way it can be.
The guide and the driver I had for the entire trip are very professional, friendly and down to earth. It was like a trip with my close friends rather than taking the tour. They paid attention to details and always made sure everything was ok.
Something worth mention here, how professional and amazing this company. When I was in Bumthang, I was suppose to leave the next day to Punakha by road…
Bhutan.
My trip to Bhutan was an amazing adventure. I was greeting with warmth upon arrival at the airport and my guide and driver were fun to be with. My itinerary was bountiful and flexible which was great as some of the visits were quite quick. I very much enjoyed the temples and the vast history. My guide was very knowledgable!
I was also greeted by Mr Sithar, the owner of the company, who came out to meet me in person. This was such a lovely gesture.
I highly recommend a tour with Yak Holidays Int’l. and I know that I will be back to Bhutan with them to see more of this amazing country. Thank you so much to all the team!
