    Bhutan is a special place and may be lost in the future to tourism. I loved seeing a culture and environment not yet ruined by the western society.

    Visiting Bhutan was a dream and G Adventures helped me accomplish that dream in a perfect way. The people and scenery are inspiring. Although Tigers Nest Monastery was a highlight, there is so much more to the country and I highly recommend visiting.

    The tour provided a good mix of opportunities to learn about Bhutanese culture and history as well as seeing and experiencing the mountains (both during the hikes and on the bus rides) including wonderful views as well the towns and villages.
