We were on a private trip to Bhutan and had Satyam as our tour organiser. The itinerary planning, choice of hotels etc were all too good. Suraj Chetry as our guide and Dorje as our pilot were also too good. Our trip was a grand success due to the efforts put in by the three of them. Their depth of knowledge of the place helped us to understand the places we visited. They gelled too well with us and we felt as if they were one among us. It was only because of them that we ventured to take the nature trail and more so the trek to Tigers Nest. They actually helped us climb up and then down the rocky terrain. They were very punctual too. I have no hesitation in recommending them to all the tourists.

first came across Bhutan luxoury tours and was sceptical to book with them. However, Satyam our guide made the whole process easy and smooth putting us at ease and customising the trip according to our likes. All the hotels were superb - Como Uma in Paro, le Meredian in Thimpu, Dhensa boutique in Punakha and Tent resort was bliss in Gangtey. Our guide Mr Suraj Chetri was so helpful. His friendly nature and motivation made it possible for us to hike all the way up to Tigers Nest. Without him this would be impossible. Our pilot Mr Dorje was also good. I highly recommend Mr Satyam, Suraj and Dorje to any one planning a trip to Bhutan- they are simply amazing!

came across Bhutan Luxoury tours online and was sceptical at first to book with them. However, Satyam from their team did an excellent job putting us at ease and curating the best 10 day trip we could imagine. Everything was so well planned from the hotels to the sightseeing and the guides everything was bang on. Special shout out to our Guide Suraj who showed us some of the most breathtaking views and without his support we woyld not have bèen able to hike up to Tigers Nest. His suggestions to visit the buddha hill statue and simply bhutan in Thimpu were also appreciated by our whole group. All the hotels como uma in paro, Le Meredian in thimpu, Dhensa boutique in punakha and the tent resort in gangtey were superb. The luxoury tent experience was the highlight. Our pilot for the trip was Dorje and he too was amazing. I highly recommend to book Bhutan with Satyam Suraj and Dorje.

I had an amazing stay in Bhutan where I really got an understanding of Bhutan and its society, much beyond the beautiful landscape and interesting buildings. Many thanks to my guide who spoke excellent english and helped with alternative arrangements when my physical limitations made it impossible to pursue the original itinerary.
