I recently completed an 8-day solo tour of Bhutan arranged by Breathe Bhutan and I am 100% satisfied with my experience. The office staff patiently worked with me over a number of weeks as I refined the details of an itinerary that met my desire to combine visits to cultural sites with 4 or more hours of hiking per day, over a time frame that shifted as I finalised my schedule. Once in Bhutan, everything went off flawlessly. I was met at the airport by Kelzang, my guide, and Phuentsho, my driver. Kelzang was very knowledgeable about cultural aspects, as well as hiking, and was able to suggest adjustments to the schedule that better suited my hiking ability. Phuentsho was a fine driver, always driving safely on Bhutan's winding roads. Both gentlemen were extremely professional at all times and also proved amiable travelling companions for the week I was in Bhutan. Overall, I had a great introduction to this fascinating and beautiful country. I would highly recommend the services of Breath Bhutan.

Breathe Bhutan is significiant name for that, what was our experience with this team of great people in country of Bhutan. We found friends for whole life, our new family in these guys. What we like most, is that we viseted special hidden places where we could spent time with local people, to share with them their everyday life and to be part of them. The stay in these places was for us full of emotions and it was healing for our souls. These experience changed something in our lives.   Thank to Kinley for preparing great plan for our tour and all surprices, that made our stay really special. Thank to Sonam and Wangdi for everyday care. We are family with three small children, and we enjoy every moment of this tour. They are very friendly, helpfull, they show us their country in special way and we did not feel that it was guided tour, because from first second they become part of our family, and took place in our hearts. Thanks to Tsoki´s, Sange´s and Sonam´s II family, that they share their houses and lifes with us. We love you all! Thank you so much!

My husband and I recently returned from an 11 day journey to Bhutan, the mystical Land of the Thunder Dragon. Although we are physically back in the United States, our hearts and minds remain in beautiful Bhutan. As a deeply spiritual country, an intense, positive energy pulsates through the land, amplified by the genuine warmth of the Bhutanese people. During our time there, I experienced a sense of contentment and inner peace like never before.

When booking our trip to Bhutan, it was important to me that we booked with a local tour operator. I am so happy that we chose to book with Breathe Bhutan and cannot recommend them enough! Kinley, Jigme, Meena and Kezang were so helpful in making recommendations to us and planning a seamless adventure. I was very touched that within our first few email exchanges, Kinley (the owner of Breathe Bhutan) invited my husband and I to his house for a meal.

The very best part of our trip was spending time with our amazing guide Kiran and wonderful driver Namgay. After 11 days together, Kiran and Namgay became more than just hosts or friends, but actually like family.

Kiran is an extraordinary individual who truly embodies the spirit of Bhutan - a soul filled with compassion, kindness, wisdom, authenticity, and a pure heart. As our tour guide, he went above and beyond to ensure our happiness and comfort throughout the journey. His warm smile and positive attitude never failed to light up our days. He took immense pride in showing us his home country, imparting valuable life lessons that we will always remember. His wisdom has inspired us to reflect on our own lives and strive to be the best versions of ourselves.

Namgay, our exceptional driver, navigated Bhutan's challenging roads with skill and dedication, ensuring our safety and comfort throughout the journey. Despite the long hours and difficult conditions, including rain, snow, and dense fog, Namgay's focus and professionalism never wavered. He happily greeted us each morning, ready to embark on another day of exploration, even after nights with little rest.

The memories we made in Bhutan will forever hold a special place in our hearts, serving as a reminder of the beauty and simplicity that can be found when you embrace a life centered around compassion, mindfulness, and respect for all living things. We are already dreaming of the next time we will get to visit Bhutan, and look forward to working with Breathe Bhutan again to plan our next adventure!

How do you even BEGIN to describe Breathe Bhutan? My group (9pax) had a week-long tour of western Bhutan. As incredible as Kenley himself is, the real stars of our experience were our guides, Paza and Chozin. In a very brief amount of time, these two took it upon themselves to ensure our that we didn’t leave from this Himalayan heaven as “just another tour group”. Paza even took us to his ancestral village and showed us the traditional ways of living and really made an effort to connect with each of us. I simply cannot put into words just how special, individually recognized, and seen Breathe Bhutan made us feel. I cannot wait to come back and reconnect with all of these wonderful people!

I recently embarked on a remarkable 9-day journey through Bhutan, exploring the captivating locales of Paro, Thimphu, Punakha, with an exhilarating day trip to Phobjikha and a memorable hike to Bumdra. Accompanied by my family of four, we were treated to an unforgettable experience that exceeded all expectations.

Our adventure wouldn't have been possible without the exceptional assistance of Jigme, who meticulously organized our entire trip, even accommodating last-minute changes with unparalleled ease. His unwavering support and flexibility in tailoring the itinerary to suit our preferences truly made our journey seamless and stress-free.

Throughout our expedition, we were guided by Sherab on the first day and Phuntsho for the remainder of our adventure. Their extensive knowledge of Bhutan's culture, history, and landscapes enriched our experience immeasurably. Their warmth, professionalism, and unwavering dedication ensured that every moment was filled with wonder and discovery.

Behind the wheels, we had the pleasure of Nima's company, whose skilled driving and hospitable nature added an extra layer of comfort and enjoyment to our travels.

From start to finish, every aspect of our Bhutanese adventure was flawlessly executed, thanks to the exceptional team at Breathe Bhutan. Their commitment to delivering top-notch service and creating unforgettable memories for their guests truly sets them apart.

In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend Breathe Bhutan.

Kelzang, our guide, shared his deep understanding of his culture and his sincere love of his country with us in such an infectious way that my sister and I quickly fell in love with all things Bhutan.
Such a well curated trip! We made some last-minute changes along the way. Nothing was ever a problem.
What a fun adventure!!

Really glad I went with Breathe Bhutan!

I didn't take that much time too do research before my trip but Breathe Bhutan made the process so seamless and easy. I felt like I was very well taken care of before I even booked! The team was very receptive to any adjustments and added suggestions when needed.

The team also made sure I felt as welcomed to Bhutan on the trip as a solo traveler. I appreciate every small and big effort made as it all contributed to what is truly a trip of a lifetime!

Thank you Kinley, Jigme, Kiran, and Phuntsho!

Our first visit to Bhutan was well taken care of by the Breathe Bhutan team. From when we first enquired with them, they provided us with clear options to pick from (itinerary and accommodation) based on our interests, a breakdown of what the package cost consisted of, and details/FAQs which helped us understand what to expect. Communication was easy and responses were timely.

During our 7-day visit, our guide Pelden and our driver Phuentsho were awesome - always giving us a heads-up such that we knew what to expect each day and each hour, which helped with planning what to wear and pack. The itinerary was well-paced, with us getting full days with sufficient rest too. We really appreciated the unique & boutique accommodation options that Breathe offered - including farm resorts with organic meals, eco lodges and a glamping experience before our big hike up to Tiger's Nest - it all matched well with our travel preferences.

We felt our guide Pelden got a good reading / gauge of our interests quickly enough in the first few days to ensure we got a good amount of information and activities we'd enjoy across the rest of the trip. For us, the opportunity to be up in the beautiful Himalayan mountains was a treat in itself but our favourite times were all the hikes and nature walks we embarked on, at his recommendation :) Phuentsho was also a really safe driver who took great care of us; we likewise enjoyed his company.

We'd highly recommend Breathe to anyone who's looking for an alternative way to experience Bhutan - not necessarily the ultra-luxe resorts (though of course these can also be booked if preferred) but also more unique than your typical guesthouses or standard hotels. Beyond accommodation, their attention to detail and guest-centricity was faultless!

My trip with Breathe Bhutan was absolutely amazing!  I researched many companies in search of the perfect one and found Breathe Bhutan's beautiful website.  They were quick to respond, friendly and made the planning process so easy.  The team designed a trip specifically tailored to what I wanted to do, see and experience.  Communication was great and they made me feel comfortable and confident which is important when planning a trip as a solo female traveler. Breathe Bhutan is also a Bhutan based company which was important to me to experience and learn about the country from locals.  Special thanks to Kinley, Jigme, Kezang and Meena for making booking process so easy.

From the moment I arrived until the moment I left, I felt like royalty.  My guide, Kiran and my driver, Karma were the absolute best!  I feel so lucky to have had them to guide me around and teach me about their country and culture.  Kiran quickly learned what was important to me and adjusted the days to make sure I was able to do all the things I was interested in.  He was truly knowledgeable and a great communicator.  I enjoyed our conversations about life during our hikes. Karma was a great driver with a good sense of humor.  I always felt safe and had so much fun during my time with Kiran and Karma.

I had a top-notch authentic Bhutanese experience that I will cherish forever.  I was able interact with locals, hike and walk the land, learn the history, eat the food and be immersed in the culture. My trip was better than I ever could have imagined.  I almost did not get to see The Tiger’s nest due to zero visibility but while hiking out the skies cleared, and it was a magical moment.

I left awe-inspired with a full heart and so many priceless memories.  I am so lucky to have had the opportunity to experience Bhutan and hope to return one day.  If Bhutan is on your bucket list, Breathe Bhutan is the best choice for an authentic experience of a lifetime!

Even before my landing, Breathe Bhutan was super helpful in incorporating my needs and what I was looking for in the 10 days I wanted to spend in Bhutan. Jigme was super helpful and all the paper work and arrival permit was organized timely. I spent 10 nights in Bhutan and from the moment I landed my experience was exceptional. My guide Kiran and driver Namgey took exceptional care of me. Kiran made sure from the moment he picked me up at the airport until he dropped me that I am super comfortable and took outmost care even of the little things everyday. He was kind, very accommodating, took excellent photos of me and was so insightful on the culture and ways of living in Bhutan.

Breathe Bhutan was also so kind to invite me one evening to explore the nightlife in Thimphu in the most authentic way 😊. It was an amazing to see and have great conversations with the founder itself Kinley, and learn the purpose and vision of Breathe Bhutan. I felt happy to be a part of the authenticity they bring to the travel industry in Bhutan 🇧🇹 .

I honestly couldn’t have asked for more. I am so deeply grateful for the exceptional service I received every single day. Thank you breathe Bhutan for making this trip so memorable. Until next time :).
