Druk Asia - Bhutan Travel Specialist Reviews 324

My husband and I (professional couple, Singaporean and Australian, in our mid 30s) have always wanted to travel to Bhutan. I did extensive research online, checking to see which tour company came recommended, and eventually decided on Druk Asia, due to the excellent online reviews and tripadvisor awards- and it was the best decision! Druk Asia provided excellent and prompt communication when booking the tour, competitive pricing, all services included (flights, accommodation, visa, tour guide, driver, all meals and water). The trip was provided by Soul Trips. Even though we booked a normal 3 star hotel package, all our accommodation were superb, and we even stayed in a villa with a million dollar view, for 1 night! Our tour guide (TP) and driver (Sonam) were extremely professional, knowledgeable and ALL-STAR personalities! We ate mostly buffet meals which were all delicious. We wanted to have a more authentic experience, and opted for 1 night homestay, and also had a homestyle meal in a farm house. The whole trip was unfaultable. We came back spiritually recharged with brand new perspective in life. One of our most memorable holidays. I highly recommend anyone thinking of travelling to Bhutan, to book with Druk Asia!

One random invitation in Jan to a destination that wasn’t on my radar — this trip to Bhutan turned out to be pure magic.

This trip felt guided by something higher. Everything flowed seamlessly: the right people, perfect timing, and even the right music playlist.

Fate brought us to our incredible guide - Sonam Choki (whom we dearly call Sam). He led us off the beaten path on adventurous hikes at our request, to meeting Khenpos and receiving literal blessings throughout the journey. We were also assigned with drivers who ensured we were comfortable and safe throughout.

One of the most liberating moments was an unplanned visit to an orphanage monastery where the blessings moved me to tears. That same day, we caught two of the most complete rainbows I’ve ever seen. Talk about perfect alignment and timing. Even at the crowded Tiger’s Nest, we were gifted tranquility—a quiet moment with the Khenpo and a private performance of traditional music.

The entire trip felt like a sacred alignment. From start to finish, the universe had our backs - every single moment fell perfectly into place; every moment a reflection of higher grace. Still amazed that everything unfolded in perfect, cosmic synchronicity. Thank you Druk Asia & Sam for this extraordinary experience!

Wonderful experience - excellent guide and driver. Itinerary was flexible enough to accommodate weather and holiday related changes. Really enjoyed getting to know Bhutan’s culture and food!

The tour guides are very kind and patient. The itinerary provides a good pace with abundant destinations to explore in 7 days. The guides are especially nice to the kids. My children have truly fell in love with Bhutan because of their warm and kind hospitality. We will definitely come back to Bhutan again.

This trip to Bhutan was so wonderful, impressed me so much no matter on views but also on services. What was impressed me was the guider Sonam Choki (Sam), who gave us the thoughtful service and patient explanations made our days very pleasant. What impressed us most was his excellent Chinese, his deep understanding of Chinese culture, and his ability to communicate with us smoothly.

Truly a remarkable experience-
I still can't believe I was able to visit a place with such a persevering, strong cultural identity, the beautiful land of the Dragon...Bhutan is a trip everybody who is lucky enough to do should enjoy with Druk Asia. They made the experience even more unforgettable, with a seamless itinerary, constant support, and provision of an incredible tour guide, TP (Tshering Phuentsho). He was kind, informative, and above all, just so much fun. If I ever get a chance to go back (fingers crossed), I'll be with TP, definitely, and Druk Asia. Wouldn't change a thing.

If you're looking for a local tour in Bhutan, Druk Asia is a great choice. They can get your visa processed quickly, and since it’s a small group tour, the itinerary and meals can be adjusted based on your needs. The guide and driver treat you like a friend.

I and my wife would like to thank both our guide, YeshiDorji and driver, Kelzang Phuntsho for a job well done. Passionate in their work. Service with a smile. Always had the interest and welfare of me and my wife throughout the 7 nights 8 days Bhutan holidays. Thanks again for having made our Bhutan vacation a memorable one!

Replies to my queries are always prompt. Appreciate the speedy response.

The trip is a well organised by Druk Asia and the tour guide (Dorji) and driver (Tashi) took real good care of us. They make sure we are comfortable and Dorji is so well versed in Bhutan history and culture that we have a good knowledge of it at the end of our trip. He is ever ready to answer all our queries. Tashi is a very experienced driver and he ensure that we have a safe and enjoyable ride. He will stop at safe locations to let us take picture of the monkeys and cows. We have such fun with both of them, exchanging information, laughing at the jokes, taking nice picture together, etc.

The hotels and resorts chosen by Druk Asia are spacious, nice and comfortable. Meals are delicious.

We are very happy to have chosen Druk Asia for our Bhutan trip. 👍👍👍

My Guide Tshering Dorji and driver Dechen were just amazing and went out of their way to ensure that I had a great trip. Also when dealing with the planning side of things the communication from Sangay was exceptional

Land of the Thunder Dragon. Bhutan you have our hearts! A pretty magical place. From the moment you set foot on the tarmac you are transported into another world! Druk Asia were fabulous at communicating, we didn't have to think about a thing. Our fabulous guide Tshering Phuntsto (TP) and driver Sonom were wonderful. They gauged our needs and attention spans quickly and kept us informed and interested. Hot stone bath after the hike to tigers nest was awesome as was the accommodation at Dharma Siddhi Punakha. Loved meeting the Lama on the morning hike to Wangditse Lhakhang and the lunch stop at the a great local bar called Chh'a Bisto. Thank you for the memories!

Druk Asia gave us very good advice about the planning of the trip and once in Bhutan everything went well. The service, the guide, drivers, car, were impeccable.

Bhutan is one of the places that is on my travel Bucket List and hence when my husband and I had the opportunity to finally make this happen, I did a lot of research on the travel agencies which we should consider. DrukAsia consistently appeared with the most favourable reviews from their clients so I decided to give it a try. Needless to say, I wasn't disappointed. Ugyen Dema, the travel advisor, was responsive and easy to communicate with (mind you this was done all over email from start to finish!) where she was very patient with my queries and shared unbiased opinions on her suggestions from hotels to activities to do during our 7-day long trip there as we work on customising the trip. The visa processing, flight booking and finalising of the itinerary prior the departure went smoothly. When we arrived in Bhutan, we were warmly welcomed by our guide Dorji Wangchuk and driver Khelzang who were with us throughout our trip - and they played a big part in making this trip memorable and delightful from start to the day we leave for Singapore. Dorji was knowledgeable, attentive, and passionate about sharing Bhutan’s culture, history, and traditions. He ensured that we were comfortable at all times and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and preferences. For example we wanted to try the different Bhutanese local cuisines and he made sure that we got our fair share, he organised a riverside meal and also ensure that we have our own time to explore the town. Our driver, Khelzang, was equally wonderful—always professional, punctual, and made us feel safe and comfortable on every journey, even on winding mountain roads - so comfortable that my husband always fell asleep during the drive! All in all, we would like to thank DrukAsia and Soultrips for making our trip memorable and fun. We highly recommend DrukAsia and Soultrips for anyone visiting Bhutan. We can't wait to come back and explore the remaining parts of this beautiful country :)

Bhutan is a beautiful and mystical country, very different from many countries we have visited, as there are no high rise buildings and also no traffic lights. Most of the time, we are surrounded by breathtaking views of greenery and rolling mountains. Very peaceful and calming to the mind.

Our guide, Dorji was very knowledgeable on the history and culture of Bhutan and is able to articulate these facts clearly in English. He also handles all the logistics i.e lodgings, food, itinerary very well, to ensure our stay in Bhutan is a memorable one.

Our driver, Jinpa is a very good and safe driver, as the roads can be quite dangerous at times. He is very friendly and helpful in making us feel comfortable throughout the trip. He even help carried my backpack when we track up to Tiger Nest.

Overall, we had a great and wonderful time in Bhutan. Thanks to everyone including Ugyen (Singapore office) who helped in the planning of our trip to Bhutan.

I just finished an amazing 11 day solo adventure with 3 great people that I will carry in my heart for a lifetime. I wanted to thank Mr Sangay for organising my trip and 2 great drivers Tashi and Sonam. It has beed so much fun. The biggest thanks to Jigme Zangpo (aka Jigme Norbu) who has been the best guide I could have wished for. He always knew when it's jokes time and when it's my introvert time 😊 Always tailoring to my needs (mostly looking for the best traditional bhutanese food for me 😁), beeing so flexible and caring. He honestyly carried me thru Taktsang mentally. I am forever grateful 🥰

I truly enjoyed my trip in Bhutan, a truly magical place. From the get go in planning the trip, Mr Sangay was very proactive in helping me to arrange and accommodate our requests for lodging, flights and itinerary customisation. On arrival, we also had a lovely and professional guide Mr Choki, who was very passionate and dedicated in patiently explaining Bhutanese culture and history to us and making sure we ate well, as well as our very reliable and friendly driver Mr Sonam who happily joined us on our hikes as well. Both of them took great care of us and had a great sense of humour that made the trip all the more enjoyable and memorable. Though it was a short 7-day trip, it was an immensely gratifying one which only makes us want to visit again someday. I highly recommend DrukAsia for anyone intending to visit Bhutan comfortably and hassle-free. Kadinche la!

Very efficient from start to end. Perfectly organized tour

Druk Asia organized the tour seamlessly. Upon our arrival at Paro Airport, our guide, Choki, and driver, Tsering, welcomed us warmly and took excellent care of us throughout the trip. They brought us to fascinating locations and were very flexible in accommodating our requests for places we wished to visit. Choki was highly knowledgeable, and we received thorough, insightful explanations. The food was superb, and the accommodations were outstanding.

Our seven-day private tour of Bhutan by DrukAsia / SoulTrips was nothing short of extraordinary, made truly unforgettable by the incredible care and attention of our personal guide Lhendup and our dedicated driver Kuenga.

From the moment we arrived, everything was seamlessly organized, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in Bhutan’s breathtaking landscapes, rich culture, and peaceful rhythm of life.

What stood out most was the genuine warmth and thoughtfulness of our guide. Lhendup was not only deeply knowledgeable about Bhutan’s history and traditions, but also remarkably intuitive—always knowing when to share insights and when to simply let us take in the beauty around us. Lhendup even took the initiative to alter our tour itinerary and incorporated a visit to a microbrewery with a nice view of the airport runway once he found out that I’m into craft beers.

Kuenga, our driver was equally exceptional, driving with great care and confidence along Bhutan’s winding mountain roads, always making us feel completely safe. The car was kept immaculate throughout the journey, Kuenga even wakes up early in the mornings to wash the car in chilling water and weather just to keep the car clean and ready. His personable, polite and calm demeanor added a reassuring presence every single day.

The highlight of our trip, however, was a truly special surprise they helped arrange: a private surprise birthday dinner party for my wife. Without us suspecting a thing, they coordinated every detail - from the stunning night view and settings (they booked out the ENTIRE bar/venue for just the two of us) to the unbelievable ambiance - gorgeous bouquet of flowers, surprise birthday cake, balloons and candles, and topped it off with a sumptuous meal. Creating a magical evening we will never forget. It was intimate, beautifully executed, and deeply meaningful.

Their effort went far beyond professionalism; it was heartfelt and personal. They took the time to get to know us, understand us, anticipate our needs, and create moments that felt uniquely ours. This level of dedication transformed an already beautiful journey into something deeply memorable.

If you are considering a private tour in Bhutan, I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. It’s rare to encounter such sincerity, care, and pride in service—and it made all the difference.

And to the SoulTrip management team, we thank-you for your generous birthday bash budget and having such dedicated and high caliber employees on your team that goes above and beyond the call of duty.

Lhendup and Kuenga truly deserve to be recognized!!!
