What Our Customers Say

Real experiences shared by trekkers and travelers who joined our trips.

Short Bhutan Tour review by Sarah Wei

Sarah Wei, Singapore

I chose to travel with Prakash Kapri because the itinerary offered the perfect balance of Bhutan’s rich culture and stunning natural beauty. Bhutan has a fascinating history and unique traditions, and I quickly realized that having a knowledgeable local guide made all the difference. Every monastery, fortress, and temple became much more meaningful because my guide explained the stories, history, and spiritual significance behind them in a simple and engaging way.

One of the most memorable experiences of my journey was visiting the beautiful Phobjikha Valley. Waking up early to watch the black-necked cranes in their natural habitat was something I will never forget. My guide shared interesting facts about their migration, the local conservation efforts, and the important place these birds hold in Bhutanese culture. It made the experience feel very special and much more than just sightseeing.

Throughout the trip, I enjoyed visiting Bhutan’s famous landmarks while also discovering peaceful villages, quiet mountain valleys, and places that many visitors never get to see. The itinerary never felt rushed, and I always had enough time to appreciate each destination. Everything was well organized, from transportation and accommodations to sightseeing and daily planning, allowing me to simply relax and enjoy the experience.

What impressed me most was the personal attention and genuine care shown by Prakash Kapri and the entire team. They were always friendly, professional, and ready to help whenever I had a question or needed assistance. I returned home with a much deeper appreciation for Bhutan’s culture, landscapes, and people. It was a journey that was inspiring, educational, and unforgettable. I would gladly recommend Prakash Kapri to anyone looking for a meaningful, well-organized, and rewarding experience in Bhutan.

Bhutan Thuimphu Tour review by Robert and Claire Sterling

Robert and Claire Sterling, Australia

We are the kind of travelers who enjoy comfort, good service, and well-planned holidays, so we were a little unsure about what to expect from a trip to Bhutan. Since it is a small Himalayan country, we wondered if we would have to compromise on comfort. Thankfully, everything exceeded our expectations from the very beginning. Prakash Kapri and his team made sure every part of our journey was smooth, relaxing, and enjoyable.

From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed and looked after. Our hotels were beautiful, clean, and located in peaceful places with wonderful mountain and valley views. The private vehicle was always comfortable, clean, and ready on time, making every drive pleasant. Our guide and driver were friendly, patient, and always happy to answer our questions about Bhutan’s history, culture, traditions, and daily life. We never felt rushed and always had enough time to enjoy each destination.

One of the best parts of the tour was visiting places that felt peaceful and less crowded. We had the chance to explore ancient monasteries, traditional villages, and local markets while learning about Bhutanese customs from our guide. We also met local artists and craftspeople who shared their skills and traditions with us, making the experience feel much more personal than a typical sightseeing tour.

The communication throughout the trip was excellent. Before we arrived, all of our questions were answered quickly, which gave us confidence that everything was well organized. During the tour, every transfer, sightseeing visit, and hotel check-in went exactly as planned. It allowed us to relax and simply enjoy the experience without worrying about the details.

What impressed us most was how personal the service felt. It never felt like we were just another group of tourists. Prakash Kapri genuinely cared about making sure we had the best possible experience and was always available whenever we needed assistance or had a special request.

Bhutan is an incredibly beautiful country with breathtaking landscapes, rich traditions, and some of the kindest people we have ever met. Having such thoughtful planning and professional support made our journey even more memorable. We returned home with wonderful memories, beautiful photographs, and a much deeper appreciation for Bhutan. We would happily recommend Prakash Kapri to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-organized, and authentic travel experience in Bhutan

Bhutan Tour By Thompson Family

Thompson Family, Canada

Taking teenagers to a destination without Wi-Fi and fast food was a risk, but High Route Adventure made it a triumph. We were concerned about keeping our kids engaged, but the guides at High Route were masterful.

They turned every temple visit into a treasure hunt and every long drive into a storytelling session about local folklore and folklore. Our teenagers were genuinely fascinated, trading their phones for binoculars and their headphones for local Bhutanese music.

The logistics for a family of four can be chaotic, but Prakash Kapri handled everything seamlessly. They accommodated our requests for varied food options and kept the schedule flexible enough that we could stop whenever we saw something interesting—a local archery match, a village festival, or a beautiful stream.

It was one of the few times we have been able to connect as a family without the distractions of the outside world. Thank you, Mt. Prakash, for creating memories that our children will be talking about for years to come

Bhutan Tour Review By James and Kelly Peterson

James and Kelly Peterson, USA

We are avid mountain hikers, and the Tiger’s Nest Monastery Trek had been on our bucket list for years. Prakash Kapri came highly recommended by our mountaineering club, and he lived up to the reputation.

Hiking to Bhutan’s most iconic monastery is a rewarding experience, and Prakash and his team handled every detail with absolute professionalism.

Every aspect of the journey was well organized, from the delicious meals prepared each day to the knowledgeable guides, who were experts in the trail, Bhutanese culture, and the unique Himalayan landscape.

There were moments on the trail – standing on a ridge with the Himalayas stretching out before us – when we felt completely immersed in the beauty and serenity of Bhutan.

Our guide shared fascinating stories about the history of Tiger’s Nest Monastery, local traditions, and the surrounding natural environment. It wasn’t just about reaching the monastery; it was about the unforgettable experiences and conversations along the way.

Prakash Kapri and his team gave us the freedom to enjoy the hike at our own pace while ensuring we were well cared for throughout the journey. This wasn’t just a hike – it was a life-altering experience.

Bhutan tour review by Dr. Elena Rossi, Italy

I have traveled extensively across Asia, but nothing prepared me for the raw, authentic beauty of Bhutan. I traveled solo, and choosing a tour operator that prioritized safety and genuine connection was paramount.

High Route Adventure exceeded every expectation. Unlike the ‘cookie-cutter’ tours I’ve experienced elsewhere, High Route curated an experience that felt deeply personal. They took me to a local farmhouse for a traditional hot stone bath and an authentic dinner, an experience that wasn’t on any brochure.

The attention to detail was impeccable. Every time we reached a new destination, my room was ready, my tea was waiting, and my guide was already scouting the best spots for photography. What stood out most was the company’s commitment to sustainable tourism.

It was clear that High Route Adventure respects the land and the people of Bhutan, which made me feel like an ethical traveler. I returned to Italy feeling like I had witnessed a hidden world, untouched by the frantic pace of modern life. If you want to experience the true essence of the Land of the Thunder Dragon, this is the team you need by your side.

Short Bhutan Tour Review By Molly and Mark Jenkins

Molly and Mark Jenkins, UK

When we decided to visit Bhutan, we were looking for more than just a vacation; we were craving a spiritual reset. After researching various operators, we chose High Route Adventure, and it was the best decision we could have made.

From the moment we landed in Paro, the team’s hospitality set the tone for the entire trip. Our guide, Tashi, wasn’t just an encyclopedia of Buddhist history; he was a bridge between our Western mindset and the profound peace of Bhutanese culture.

The itinerary was perfectly paced. We spent our mornings in silent meditation at remote cliff-side monasteries and our afternoons engaging with the locals in the bustling markets of Thimphu. High Route Adventure managed all the logistics—the permits, the boutique hotels, and the internal transport—with such invisibility that we felt we were simply wandering through a fairytale.

The highlight was undoubtedly the hike to Tiger’s Nest. We were worried about the altitude, but our guide moved at our pace, sharing stories of Guru Rinpoche that made every step feel meaningful rather than strenuous.

Bhutan is a beautiful country, but it is the soul of the people at High Route Adventure that truly brought it to life. We left with our hearts full and our spirits renewed. We cannot thank them enough.
