We had dreamed about Bhutan for a long time, and finally we decided to go. And after some research, we contacted Best Inbound. Flexibility, proposals, help to set everything before traveling, all the previous transactions and our fantastic guide Sherab, made our trip one of the best experiences in our life. We had some fears to see so many good reviews, and truth to be told, they truly deserve this ratings, because the service cannot be better. If you have doubts, this is your company to visit Bhutan, will not regret it!If you can, the Monastic Stay, Family stay and a night at Ogyen Heritage House is a must if you want to understand even more the Bhutanese History and life, before closing the trip at the Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary for the full experience. Thanks, Thinley, for all your help and recommendations!!!

One of the best tour experiences we ever had !! 👍Thinley(and team) made the entire trip to the "Land of the Thunder Dragon" memorable. 🙂Right from the initial engagement and planning, everything was meticulously taken care and the team was constantly in touch to provide all details and information.They helped in customizing the itinerary as per our wishes/travel interests and took care of all the formalities/paperwork needed for entry into Bhutan.On arrival, we had a wonderful guide and driver(alongwith a nice car) at our disposal for the entire trip as we visited all the beautiful and mesmerizing places. The stay, food, travel was planned to perfection and Thinley was always available for any queries/support.All in all, one of the best planned trips where we just enjoyed the experience and soaked in the sights Bhutan had to offer, with the rest of it taken care in the most professional manner with a "personal touch" by BHUTAN INBOUND🙏Would definitely recommend BHUTAN INBOUND to all my friends and family who plan to visit this magical kingdom !! Just go for it🤘

We travelled to Bhutan in April and had a wonderful experience with great tour guide and driver. No need was too great, we were looked after the entire journey above and beyond. We enjoyed our homestay and especially our monastery stay. Bhutan is a very beautiful experience. Everything was at our place. The guide was very knowledgeable and thoughtful. Would highly recommend.

We had a great time in Bhutan thanks to Thinley from Bhutan Best Inbound Tour. Communication was great, and our guide Sangay was really knowledgeable and went out of his way for us. Whether you want to do some trekking, visit Bhutan's historical forts and temples, have cultural experiences, or even stay at a monastery these guys can sort it for you.

My sister and I both really enjoyed our time here in Bhutan, no doubt it is thanks to our guide and driver. Our driver is Phub Tshering and our guide is Tandin Wangchuk. They are both very courteous, polite, friendly and kind. And as we got to know each other better, they finally can open up and have some light joke with us as well.We are also grateful to Mr Phub for driving around Bhutan's hilly and winding road for so many hours each day. The car ride was so cozy that I can get good rest each and every time we travel.During our trip, we visited National Museum, Tiger's Nest, Paro Penlop's house, iron bridge Taxhog Lakhang, Jungshi paper factory, viewpoint at Thimphu, Phobjikha valley, Gangtey Monastery, Punakha Dzong, Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Choeten, suspension bridge and Dochula pass.I will definitely recommend tourists to visit Tiger's nest and Punakha Dzong at the very least.We experienced wearing traditional clothes (Gho and Kira), took a hot stone bath, did many hikes at different towns (Trans Bhutan trail, Gangtey nature trail, Lungchutse, Taktsang hike), and had many delicious Bhutanese food.I am surprised at how delicious the food here is (but be mindful it is on the spicier side)I do highly recommend both Phub Tshering and Tandin Wangchuk for your trip to Bhutan.

My experience with Bhutan Best Inbound Tour has been 5 Star. Thinley tailored our itinerary as per our requirements and he was very quick while responding to our queries. I travelled with my parents, both senior citizens, and our trip was really memorable thanks to Thinley and his team (our guide Tenzin and our driver Jimmy). Our accommodation and vehicle (Hyundai Creta) were excellent.Bhutan is a very beautiful country. I found Bhutanese to be very honest, polite, and helpful. I will definitely recommend the services of Thinley and Bhutan Best Inbound Tour for anyone planning to explore Bhutan.

We did a 5days cultural and spiritual tour with the Bhutan best inbound tour in March. Although we had a 4 hours delayed from Kathmandu due to low visibility , when we arrived Bhutan we forgot the 4 hours wait at the airport and we were calm and at peace once I stoped out of the plane.I would like to express my gratitude to Namgay and Pema, they are professional and very informative with sharing the local culture with us. Always encouraging us to ask away whenever we feel the curiosity about local culture or religion.We had a chance to stay at Leki’s farmhouse and it was such a wonderful experience to be truly involved in a local way of living. We were surrounded by rice field and woke up with fresh air. Had dinner around the wood burning heater and share a wonderful home cook meal that every vegetables were grown in the farm.We also stayed a night at the Monastery near Thimphu. It was probably one of the most memorable experience I’ve had so far. After a 2.5 hours hike ,we arrived the misty and spiritual ground of a local monastery. It was a humbling experience and we are glad we were welcomed and well taken care of during our stay. A reminder for those who want to do monastery stay is to wash your hair and have a hot shower before you go! Hot water for shower is not guaranteed.It has been a grounding and humbling experience in Bhutan and we are so grateful to have our experienced tour guide Namgay and driver Pema with us along the journey. They made sure we are safe and taken care of through out our stay.I would 100% recommend Bhutan best inbound tour to anyone who want to visit Bhutan.
