We recently came from a 4 day trip from Bhutan for the Eid holidays and what a memorable one.I was tasked by my friend to look for a tour agency and I came across Breathe Bhutan from an instagram account that I had been following. It was also validated through youtube videos while researching about Bhutan. It was only a month prior to our intended trip and Breathe Bhutan was so quick and responsive on my inquiry. Kinley and his team made 3 proposals that best suited our travel plans and interests. And that time I included my travel partner in the email exchanges. Jigme, the manager, was even communicating on weekends although he should be replying to my mails the following Monday. Breathe Bhutan prepared all the travel arrangements from visa, itinerary, accommodations and Paro flights.

We opted for mixed accommodation ranging from farm resort, boutique hotel and tent. Tent? They come in luxury complete with your own washroom. The views, comfort, food and hospitality did not disappoint for each of the accommodations we stayed. Each of the places we spent with have their own charm.Our guide Chozen and driver Karma were like those close cousins that we haven’t seen a long time. We were vibin’ and instantly having those connections. We are not only learning about Bhutan but it was also a cultural exchange given that we were originally from the Philippines but now living as expats in Dubai.

Chozen is well informed as a guide. He doesn’t rush our activities and will always ask if we wanted to do something outside the itinerary. Through his connections, one time we were invited to a local house to see the preparations for an important Buddhism celebration the following day. He was also helpful and motivational to my friend who struggled in the hike to the Tiger’s Nest Monastery. Karma have a light hearted personality and drives safely considering the amount of zigzags on the mountains. Both of them are so fun to be with.To breathe is to take in air. To breathe is to live. To live is to experience. And to Breathe Bhutan, is to experience Bhutan the way you wanted. No hassles, all relax. Their services are highly commendable. You get the value of what you paid for. Jigme even manage to meet us over one dinner, something not often done by other tour operators, that is meeting their clients. Overall we highly recommend Breathe Bhutan to others who wish to visit the country someday.
