 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Experiencing Bhutan and it’s people and it’s culture and tradtions is a beautiful travel experience in itself. It’s a magical journey into the land high up in the Himalayas. We were lucky that we found this company ‘Happiness Drukyul Holidays’ who were completely flexible, professional and up to the mark. Mr. Sonan, our guide did his job well and introduce to Bhutan’s unique culture and traditions. We learnt more of Buddhism from him. Highly recommended & thank you for this beautiful holiday experience.
