We booked the 5 days Bhutan tour package with luxury Holidays Nepal in March 2019. LHN provided the services more than expected with Luxury hotels and rooms. Our guide was excellent with good English and great knowledge about the Bhutanese culture and tradition. The tour package which we took is a complete adventure and wonderful scene in Bhutan with a Cultural tour and short Hiking in Tiger Nest Monastery. In this monastery, we see the mask dance of mad people of its culture which was followed by ancient times of people and it was so memorable for me that I haven’t seen before in my life. Our guide made sure that we do not miss any activities we wanted to see and create a perfect itinerary. The tea house, the lodge was luxurious with the best service and food. We will be back soon to see more adventure life of Bhutanese and a stunning view of snow-covered mountains in this place. I would highly recommend Luxury Holidays Nepal and their group members.

I recently visited the Bhutan which was above my expectations in a lifetime. Luxury Holidays Nepal offers the best package for the Bhutan site. They waited at the airport for me and took the best hotel in the luxurious van with the perfect accommodation, food, and dinner. The Guide was knowledgeable, helpful and answer all the question which I asked. We had an amazing experience in Bhutan that we ever imagined. LHN provides us the opportunity to mingle with the locals and to gain unique cultural insight into aspects of Bhutan culture and saw the performance of mask dance at a monastery in Paro. The experience was very intimate with the guide and their team. It was a happy moment to reconnect with such a great company again. Thank You!! I hope that we can visit Nepal again and highly recommend this company.

We did the Bhutan tour with LHN and their team and it was a memorable experience in Nepal. The tour was organized by Luxury Holidays Nepal and well organized!! We were very lucky to have such a great guide for our trip. I learned so much in Kathmandu and experienced a unique culture and peoples. The Holidays were fairly relaxed and don’t need to worry about too much. I really like the way they treated and arrange the best hotel for our lunch and dinner with perfect accommodations. We went above and beyond of Punakha and visit the oldest temple of Nepal. Our guide explains the detail of the temple and rituals. In the trail of Bhutan, the view was so mesmerizing and unforgettable. We absolutely loved our time in Nepal with this company. I definitely recommend the LHN and their team and thank you for making this trip memorable.

Luxury Holidays Nepal has been the best company since I travel with their team, this was my second trip with them. LHN brought me to the office and introduced everyone although I booked early online I was happy to trust them and their team. The guide was very professional and experienced in Bhutan places and many other lands. They had great management of luxury equipment and other necessities for us. I got the opportunity to visit the Taktsang Monastery of Tibetan people and it was perfect that is surrounded by a coniferous forest and snowcapped mountain which broke my heart after looking at that. From the first accommodation to last it was perfect in 3-star standard hotels on the way and food was very tasty of traditional Bhutanese. The guide handles all the requirements for us and what we expected from him. Thank you for your care and love toward us and felt wonderful to spend days in Bhutan. Highly recommended luxury holidays Nepal and their team.

This was my first trip to Nepal and Bhutan. As I understood in this trip it is very important who will organize your stay in these countries. It was a group trip. And we were very pleased that the Luxury Holidays Nepal’s director personally took care of us in Nepal. We felt ourselves relaxed and safe. Also their partners in Bhutan were perfect. I want to express my gratitude to the Luxury Holidays Nepal Company and personally to their Director! Thank you so much for your care! I recommend this company for trips to Nepal and Bhutan!
