unionMills, I%26#39;m really obsessed with visiting Bhutan meself and have been googling a lot offlate for info. What I%26#39;m seeing is that virtually all of them offer the same itn%26#39;s for the same amount of money and the same Druk Air flights. Seeing as these are all travel agencies affliated with the Govt., my guess is that each one is as good as the next. Someone on this forum suggested a nirvanatravels (lady%26#39;s name is Sonam) so that also might be worth a check.

BTW when are you going? I%26#39;m thinking May%26#39;07. So let me know how yours goes!

thankyou everyone for taking time out to answer to my post.

Hi Unionmills - did you find out any more about Himalayan Kingdoms? I am considering one of their South America treks...

We went to Bhutan with Himalayan Kingdoms, they arranged everything and we perfectly OK. We would normally be arranging our own transport, hotels and itinery but this is not possible in Bhutan. We went in spring 2004 to coincide with the festival in Paro, definitely very highly recommended as a country to visit. The locals aree delightful and all the kids try and use their school English. the guide we had as arranged throught HK was Wangdi, nice chap very good on the trekking front but probably not the ideal person for an ultimate cultural tour.

I%26#39;m on the verge of booking with them. Did you book in the end - I%26#39;d like to know your experiences.

Thanks
