9 Day Bhutan Adventure Tour | Culture, Nature & Adventure

An Unforgettable 9 Days Hiking Through Bhutan

I spent 8 nights and 9 days in Bhutan with OMSHA Travel on their “Hiking on the Cloud” itinerary, and it became one of the most memorable trips I have ever had. I wanted to experience Bhutan not only by visiting famous sites, but by walking through its mountains, forests, monasteries and villages. This itinerary was exactly what I had hoped for. Over nine days, I hiked almost every day, from the high-altitude trails above Thimphu and the forests of Phobjikha to Bumdra Camp at around 3,800 meters, before descending to the famous Tiger’s Nest. What made the journey truly special were the people who accompanied me. My guide, Sonam, hiked every trail with me throughout the trip. She was knowledgeable, patient, dependable and always attentive to my condition. More than anything, she made the journey feel personal rather than simply guided. By the end of the trip, it felt much more like travelling with a friend. My driver, Tashi, was also wonderful. Bhutan’s roads can be narrow, winding and difficult, especially after heavy rain, but I always felt completely safe with him. He was calm, careful and kind throughout the entire journey. The trip was very well organized, from visa arrangements and flights to accommodation, transportation and daily logistics. The itinerary was also handled flexibly, which is especially important on a hiking-focused trip where weather, altitude and physical condition can change from day to day. Bhutan itself was incredibly beautiful, but what I will probably remember longest is the kindness of the people I met along the way. My sincere thanks to Sonam and Tashi for sharing these unforgettable nine days with me, and to OMSHA Travel for making the journey possible. If you enjoy hiking and want to experience Bhutan beyond the usual sightseeing routes, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Hiking on the Cloud itinerary. I arrived in Bhutan as a traveller, but left feeling that Sonam and Tashi had become my first Bhutanese charos—friends.

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.
