5-star Bhutan Trekking Experience

Really appreciate YANA’s professional organization of the entire trip. Could not imagine how a trekking trip could such be well organized – more or less like a 5-star hotel with the only difference of we were at more than 3,000 above sea level. Special thanks to Yeshey and the chef who had given tons of assistance when I was descending due to attitude sickness. – Simon Liu, Hong Kong

Your attention to detail made Bhutan experience very special to us

Thank you Sonam & Yeshey for leading our recent Druk Path Trek. Your operation is first class and very much exceeded our expectations in all aspects.

We all had a great time trekking in Bhutan

It was a beautiful trip

It was a beautiful trip. The people were wonderful, the scenery and culture were amazing, the tradition were fascinating. Our guide, Sonam was very knowledgeable, great laugh, available but not intrusive, happy to make last minute changes (bikes and rafting). – Bridget Randolph and David Biller, HONG KONG

The YANA Team is excellent

The YANA Team is excellent. Choki & Dawa were superb and everything they planned and did was really well executed. Thank you so much for everything. It was a wonderful trip. – Nandana Mariwala & Family, MUMBAI

The trip was simply awesome

The planning of our itinerary was thorough and well thought out such that we get to see the best of Bhutan. We get to see Bhutanese traditions in all their authenticity and interact with the locals. The cultures and architecture are well explored, and we go home with the feeling that we have truly seen what it is to be a Bhutanese. The trip was simply awesome. The people are just so happy, relaxed, peaceful and content. The cultural heritage here is rich, and the hospitality of the locals cannot be overstated. There is a really pious atmosphere that should be preserved and shown to more people from around the world for their spiritual benefit. And YANA has managed to let us see this beautiful simplicity, originality and spirituality that is Bhutan. – Dato Mah Hang Soon & Family, MALAYSIA

The overall cost was very reasonable for the one-on-one attention we received…

We loved learning about the history, principles, religion and goals of Bhutan. The experience was so diverse in all that we were exposed to. We are inspired in many ways by Bhutan and the Bhutanese people. The overall cost was very reasonable for the one-on-one attention we received, great accommodations and the overall experience of the tour. Choki was great. He is very knowledgeable about Bhutan’s history, the Buddhist religion, and current affairs. He was very patient with all our questions, attentive without being intrusive, fun and funny! A great guy! – Karen Frank, CA, USA.

Bhutan truly was a wonderful life experience

Sonam Peljore was a respectful guide. He was knowledgeable about his country, and passionate about his religion. He was always flexible and eager to meet our needs. He is a wonderful asset to your company and his country. We enjoyed everything about the tour except the long bumpy roads. The photographic opportunities were endless and the people were very friendly. The scenery is among the most beautiful in the whole world. We also learnt a lot about Buddhism. This truly was a wonderful life experience. – NATE & HARRIET MILLER, FLORIDA, USA
