I’m already planning my next trip to Bhutan…

Choki and Dawa were superb and helped us with everything we could want. I’m already planning my next trip. – Bruce lane & Family, AUSTRALIA


Choki was simply a wonderful guide

I had a wonderful time from start to finish. Bumthang, Punakha and the Haa valley were especially fun days. The best thing about the tour was the flexibility and freedom to alter the itinerary as needed. Really loved the archery! The small size of our group really felt like we were guests, not tourists. Choki was simply a wonderful guide. He has a great gift: knowing how much space to allow his guests, so they always feel comfortable, and when to speak and when to be silent. And he took me to Karaoke!!! What a guy! – James Joseph Lane, AUSTRALIA


Bhutan Trip – a truly exceptional

Tashi, I just want to thank you for a truly exceptional trip. I was not exactly sure what to expect in Bhutan, but the experience we had far exceeded my expectations. It was a surreal experience, and I will always treasure it. Thanks for everything! Hope to return again someday. All the best. – Greg, Orange County, CA


Trip to Bhutan – Best trip ever…

Dwight and I agree that this trip has been our best trip ever. Mostly, that is due to guidance, flexibility and patience of your team. Everything was just perfect. Bhutan is an amazing and beautiful country. We loved meeting the people and learning about lives of the monks. Very informed guides always eager to explain local cultures and historical sites and areas. We hope to return again two years from November. – Diana & Dwight Wiles, Tennessee, USA


Thoughtful planning & execution…

Everything was great! The itinerary was diverse and full. Diver was cautious and considerate. Our guide, Choki was so helpful, positive, and full to travel with. The hotels and food all exceeded our expectations. I will definitely tell my family and friends they need to come to Bhutan, and I will absolutely recommend YANA Expeditions, Inc. Thank you for your thoughtful planning and execution. – Gregory Buie, Orange County, CA

Throughly enjoyed Bhutan Experience…

I thoroughly enjoyed my Bhutan experience. The hiking, the sights to be seen and the company of Choki, our guide and Dawa, our driver all contributed to an exciting visit. Your team anticipated our needs and made every effort to be flexible when we requested a change to the itinerary. They did a very good job of making sure that we enjoyed our adventure. – Julie Wheaton, Victoria, CANADA


It makes to wish to return to Bhutan

It makes me wish to return to your very special kingdom of  Bhutan and see the migrating cranes plus enjoy many more hikes. I enjoyed our Bhutan tour thoroughly. Thank you and your staff for a wonderful adventure. – Michal Patterson, B.C., Canada.


…had a memorable and adventurous two weeks (camping, hiking, rafting, riding those roads, visiting a Lama, seeing the King, thank you)

Dear Tashi, We would like to thank you, Choki, Sintar, and driver Tashi for  the wonderful time we had in Bhutan. We really enjoyed ourselves.  Thank you also for the birthday presents I received.  Jackson and I had a memorable  and adventurous two weeks (camping, hiking, rafting, riding those roads, visiting a Lama, seeing the King, thank you).  We are slowly adjusting to the time change and getting back to life again.  We hope to  see you all again in the future.  Thanks again. - Naomi & Jackson, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA


…we fell in love with Bhutan

Tashi, I have just written your parents to thank them for their kindness and hospitality while visiting Lungtenphug Primary School. Tashi, you are a gentleman of unexpected surprises! I hope our surprise visit to your father’s school did not inconvenience either of your parents.

Words are inadequate to express our appreciation for the many kindness and hospitality you extended to us as we travelled with you through Western Bhutan. You were a companion on a fascinating journey and your knowledge, interest, and flexibility made this trip a celebration of our 40th wedding anniversary. Thanks to your untiring efforts and patience, we fell in love with Bhutan. The majestic scenery was breath-taking; the deep spirituality of the people was enriching; your educational system and academic discipline are very noteworthy; and your hospitality in entertaining us at a favourite restaurant and in your home was overwhelming! For all that you and your lovely wife did, thank you!!

We are looking forward to your next visit to the US, and we hope there will be time and opportunity for us to extend the same hospitality to you that you shared with us. Again, thank you for your extraordinary effort which made our visit to Bhutan such a memorable experience! – Bill & Frances Young, Maryland, USA
