8 Days Bhutan Cultural Tour with 2-Day Bumdrak Trek

An Unforgettable Bhutan Journey

I highly recommend Bhutan Acorn Tours & Travel for anyone considering a trip to Bhutan. I recently completed their 8-Day Bhutan Cultural Tour with the 2-Day Bumdrak Trek, and it was an outstanding experience from beginning to end. The tour itself was very well designed and smoothly operated, with a wonderful mix of cultural sightseeing, beautiful scenery, and active adventure. Everything felt well organized, and the experience struck exactly the right balance between structure and flexibility. A special thank-you goes to my guide, Tashi, and my driver, Dema, who made the trip even more exceptional. Tashi was warm, knowledgeable, patient, and engaging, and he added so much depth to the experience through his insights and thoughtful guidance. Dema was an excellent driver who made me feel safe and comfortable throughout the trip, even on long and winding mountain roads. What I appreciated most about Bhutan Acorn Tours & Travel was the overall quality of care and professionalism. The company clearly runs its tours well, and Tashi and Dema reflected that in every part of the journey. I felt very well taken care of throughout and came away with wonderful memories of Bhutan. This was a truly special trip, and I would not hesitate to recommend Bhutan Acorn Tours & Travel to others.

Bhutan Walking Holidays with Bumdra Camping.

WONDERUL STAY

To have wonderful memories is an asset to be invested in ones life as life itself is a matter of time. I thank the World Tour Plan agent for gifting me a package of unforgettable experience of trekking to Bumdark Monastery. I will always remember their hospitality and the breath taking beauty of Bhutan. I love exploring places and trekking and in particular the trek to Bumdark was something that still makes my body crave for more. My journey to an elevation of 3800 meters above sea level, feasting on the pristine environment and walking around the crown of mountains, decorated with colourful flags gave me the feeling of exploring heaven. It was a six hours walk from the road end point and most of the heavy loads ere taken care by the mules. After reaching the Bumdark Monastery i came to know that the cliff i was looking was the cliff of million dakinis as believed by the locals. The camping site was majestic with carpet of green overlooking the mountains and valleys, colourful prayer flags praying for sentient beings, I didn't understand what the feeling was but it was more than just ecstasy to see the beauty with spiritualistic gaze. We camped there for three days exploring even higher heights . We visited another sacred site called 'Druethey' meaning crematorium. The faith in bhutanese people to believe in certain rocks and trees as sacred was the reason why i got an opportunity to completely change my view. After camping for three days we finally descended down to visit the infamous Taktsang Monastery known as the Tiger's Nest. It was a wonder, a master piece architecture that nestled on the face of the cliff. I was baffled by the site on which the monastery was constructed. Bhutanese consider this site as one of the most important pilgrimage site as this was the spot on which Guru Rimpoche arrived ridding on a flying tigress and maybe it is this faith that is the foundation for the strong hold of the monastery despite being on a precarious location. Lastly I would like to thank my guide Chencho and World Tour Plan for making all the necessary arrangements and for the courtesy that i will never be able to repay. I have nothing to regret for as those memories are far more worthy than the price I Paid for. Treks are usually pleasing to eyes but what I saw was something that requires more than eyes to see, the faith.
