Thank you! I appreciate it

Don%26#39;t use a middleman - deal directly with an operator in Bhutan and you%26#39;ll save lots of money.

I was wondering whether you ended up using this company for a Bhutan tour as I%26#39;m also looking for information on them...

I agree that it will save you a lot of money dealing with an Bhutan-based company. On this forum you can find some recommendations. It is easy, and you can make the trip exactly as you want.All can be arranged via e-mail. The local company also will arrange your last flight-leg into Bhutan, and your visa for Bhutan.

Sending money to Bhutan is done via your bank, and via the Bhutan National Bank, into the company%26#39;s account, but this will take place only when the guests do arrive in Bhutan. I%26#39;ve done three trips with Nirvanexpeditions, all three different according to our requests, very well organised.If you need references for other companies, just ask them, they should be willing to give you names of other guests.

If you have more questions, please feel free to ask, M.

InTrek (I believe is how you spell) is a Bhutanese-based company that runs all kinds of treks thru-out the country. We partnered with them thru Red Lantern Journeys which was fantastic! Due to weather, we missed our original connection to Bhutan (which only flies 1x/day) and our contact at RLJ, Jwalant, was able to get us on the next day%26#39;s flight. Not to mention, he was so informative in the planning stages. Now that I%26#39;m back from the trip- I strongly encourage anyone thinking about Bhutan to either go to RLJ in Wash or if you go directly thru Intrek- ask for Harka (he%26#39;s an amazing guide and his team rocks!). What a fantastic jounrey altogether!
