Werner H.2020-03-30Bhutan als Reiseziel ist an sich schon ein Glücksgriff. Wer dann noch Drukyul Holidays mit Chef Dorji als Partneragentur gewählt hat, kann es kaum besser treffen. Fachliche Kompetenz, Organisation und Hilfsbereitschaft sind vorbildlich. Es war ein eimaliges Erlebnis, im Februar 2020 mit Dorji und unserem deutsch sprechenden Reiseleiter Ngwang dieses faszinieirende Land mit seinen überaus freundlichen Menschen zu erleben. Sie sind hervorragende Botschafter ihres Landes.
Christine2020-03-27Als das Flugzeug im Paro Tal zur Landung ansetzte, fühlte ich mich als würden alle meine Sorgen hinter der Grenze bleiben. Am kleinen, aber feinen, Flughafen in Paro wurden wir von unseren Reiseleitern Dorji und Harka herzlich empfangen - und diese Freundlichkeit und Fürsorglichkeit setzte sich über die ganze Reise fort. Jeden Tag erwarteten uns neue schöne Ziele. Die Sehenswürdigkeiten wurden ausführlich erklärt und Fragen gerne beantwortet. Harka's Deutsch ist sehr gut, und mit Dorji konnte man sich bestens auf Englisch verständigen. Ich merkte beiden an wie sehr sie ihr Land schätzen und lieben und authentisch sind. Hotels und Restaurants waren gut ausgewählt, sauber und komfortabel. Hunger war kein Thema; es gab immer reichlich, alles war frisch und schmackhaft. Auch unser Fahrer, Herr Tshewang, verdient viel Lob. Er fuhr uns sicher und professionell durch Täler und über Pässe. Selbst die nicht mehr so rüstigen oder etwas angeschlagenen Reisenden unter uns wurden mit Emphatie durch Erfüllen individueller Wünsche aufgepäppelt. Ich hatte das Gefühl, in einer Familie angekommen zu sein. Ich möchte diese Reise nochmal machen und kann Drukyul Holidays sehr empfehlen.
Eric L2020-03-25I had the pleasure of visiting Bhutan with Drukyul Holidays. The country, culture and customs were amazing. Bhutan is quite unique, having most of the country registered as National Parks, 100% organic agriculture, Buddhist religion and geographically remote. With restricted tourist numbers per annum, it means that you can experience and learn many things from your visit. My guide was Dorji who founded Drukyul Holidays. He is passionate about his country and well connected with people across the country. This meant that I was introduced to many people from every province and experienced homestays and local festivals and foods. It was wonderful and I highly recommend them, but pick your seasons because Spring and Autumn are the times of festivals and easiest travel.
Helena2020-03-25Großartige Tour; Dorji als Inhaber der Reiseagentur hat uns persönlich begleitet und sich unvergesslich herzlich um unsere Gruppe gekümmert. Alle Fragen wurden beantwortet und wir haben ganz oft sehr persönliche Einblicke in das Leben der Bhutanesen bekommen. Ein Beispiel: Bei unserem Abflug müssten wir am Flughafen Paro 10 Stunden warten, weil es nachts geschneit hatte. Dorji war schon wieder zu Hause, hat das erfahren, ist zurück gekommen, hat für unsere Gruppe einen warmen Raum besorgt (Es war sehr kalt am Flughafen) und uns persönlich verabschiedet, als wir kurz vor Sonnenuntergang tatsächlich noch nach Kathmandu fliegen konnten.
Coralie2020-03-24This tour company is absolutely fantastic! Dorji and Harka are definitely the best tour guides you could ask for! And so is their driver – never once did we feel anything but safe and comfortable. We visited Bhutan for a week in February 2020 and, wow, what an amazing experience did we have! Everything was great and so well executed: planning was easy, personalizing the itinerary smooth, and the week itself was the best experience we ever had, despite having travelled more than 50 countries. We actually did a tour in German that focused on Bhutan’s culture. But we also did some hiking that took us to vistas so beautiful that no descriptive words could possibly do them justice. Harka speaks excellent German and patiently explained us so much about the history, cultures, religion, and life in Bhutan. We learned so much from him about his country – and that is because he has that wonderful way of talking that keeps the listeners engaged. We never grew bored or tuned out for a single minute! They will bring you all over Bhutan, but instead of making it drag on, the tour just builds and builds in the best way! Every stop is great in its own way, we never had a single complaint. Throughout the days, they also offer endless complimentary water, as well as meals to keep you going! Both Dorji and Harka went out of their way to make us comfortable from the moment they picked us up “as friends” from Paro airport to when they dropped us off a week later as “family”. They were incredibly attentive and their grace, kindness and friendliness reflected the wonderful people of Bhutan so perfectly. They made sure we had three amazing meals every day and joined us for most of these. The places they took us to eat were all absolutely amazing and the Bhutanese cuisine never disappointed a single time. They even invited us to their own home for lunch in the garden – I cannot say that I ever experienced hospitality like theirs. But they also picked wonderful hotels for us. Every hotel we stayed at was clean, cozy, luxurious and comfortable. What a treat!! Bhutan is a magical place. It is pristine, calm and breathtakingly beautiful. We miss it already and we are already plotting our return – with Dorji and his fantastic team. Bhutan is definitely worth visiting, and I absolutely recommend you do it with Drukyul Holidays!
