I just had a fabulous trip to Bhutan with my 26 year old son. My second time, his first with Nirvana expeditions. Our guide, Sonam, did his undergraduate degree in Boston so was totally fun to talk to and a wealth of information. My son played snooker in the evenings with our driver, Namgay, another lovely fellow. The 10 day tour was smooth as silk, lots of fun, never got boring. What a fabulous place and our guide and driver were wonderful. We highly recommend doing it the way we did.
By the way, remember that the going rate is a great deal when you realize it includes your hotel. all your meals, a guide, driver and all the tea you can drink!

Shemom:
Thanks for the report. My wife and I are looking into going next fall and Nirvana was the one that we were looking at and your comments are very helpful. Was it just the two of you on the tour? Did they make the arrangements for the Druk air flight? Did you go via Bangkok?

Hi BluePhantom,
I also have been twice with Sonam in Bhutan. He took care of our flights from Delhi after the visa-clearance. The tickets were waiting at the Drukair-counter in Delhi. Everything was perfectly organised, and both groups, the first one we were 5, the second 6, were very happy with all the experience. I agree with Shemom that the price is reasonable for all it includes. We spent per person not more than 100 Usd, extra,for drinks, and some souvenirs.
As Sonam can make you a very personal itinary, I%26#39;d advise you to write him your wishes. If you%26#39;re travelling with 3 persons or less , ther is a small surcharge per day.
Enjoy Bhutan, the world will look different after your visit.
