About Bhutan Acorn Tours & Travel

Like many, Bhutan was on our bucket list to visit, and touring this amazing country with Bhutan Acorn was everything we wanted in our visit! Our guide Tashi and driver Sunam were incredibly kind, welcoming, engaging, and entertaining to spend time with during our time in Bhutan, and Bhutan Acorn set up a very well-designed tour to mix cultural, site seeing, and nature and hiking focused experiences. My wife and I never felt rushed or forced to stick to a script, as Tashi and Sunam were very flexible and attentive to making sure we got to do exactly what we wanted to spend our time doing during our tour! The hotels, home stay experience, and food options were all very nice as well (even our tent in Bumdruk!). For anyone looking for an excellent, guided tour experience through this really special country, definitely take a look at Bhutan Acorn!

I recommend Bhutan Acorn Tours Travel to visit Bhutan. Everything was perfect and very well planned by them. Our guide Tashi was always polite and super friendly, nothing went side ways. Many thanks for your services !!!

Very helpful and efficient operator

We had a wonderful experience in August. We spent 4 days in Bhutan, the company, the guide and the driver were really professional. They organised us everything at a very good price and they took care of us during our stay. Definitely the best travel agency in Bhutan

I went on a 5-day tour in Bhutan, and it was amazing, everything was organized perfectly. Food, transport, guide, driver, places, communication, safety. I enjoyed everything. I would travel again with them.

Life changing experience that was underpinned by our two wonderful guides - Tashi and driver Sonam. They are exceptional at their jobs and we could feel their hospitality and pride in their country at every step of the trip. Karma the managing director was also extremely communicative, detail oriented, and thoughtful throughout our entire stay. His ability to curate a wonderful stay was only topped by his flexibility in accomodating for our needs. Overall highly recommend!

Fabulous Tour Company

We had a fabulous vacation here. The tour company arranged everything and were more than happy to accommodate changes to the schedule. Our guide Wang Chu and driver Pem were the best! They took care of us every step of the way.

This is the most amazing tour company in Bhutan. I would highly recommend them for anyone interested in a cultural and trekking tour of this incredible country. Our guide Norbu Gyeltshen is beyond highly qualified in every sense. He has a deep knowledge of Buddhism, is so very accommodating, and while hiking able to identify every flower, bird, animal, mountain we saw. Cannot say enough of his expertise and kindness. That applies to the tour operator Karma as well and if you go to Bhutan you will be amazed at its natural, historic beauty and the amazing people who live there. A must adventure trip!

A Great Tour I can't express enough gratitude to Acorn Tours Manager Director Mr. Phuntsho for helping me out arranging this unforgettable Bhutan tour. During the planning phase, I chose a start date based on limited knowledge about Bhutan. Later I asked if I could see a festival while I'm in Bhutan. Mr. Phuntsho altered my previous itinerary and recommend a new start date so that I could go to Tshechu festival in Domkhar on day 5. Seeing the festival turned out to be one of the most impressive experience of the tour. Our tour guide and driver are excellent too. They were professional yet considerate and caring. It was a pleasure to spend 10 days with these two wonderful Bhutanese people. I've visited many countries, Bhutan stood out as one of the most impressive ones. Its serenity, spirituality, pristine land, and its unique somewhat otherworldly culture all worth a visit. Definitely Recommend it!

Having the local guides and knowledge was a blessing. They took care of us in every possible way, from the accommodations, food preferences, flexibility with the itinerary and when folks were not feeling well. Norbu was very knowledgeable about the sites, culture and personal experience. The tour operator was very responsive and flexible. Thank you for a magical, mystical and beautiful experience.

We were planning our trip for a long time as initially we had booked to go in 2020 -- Karma was amazingly helpful and always answered our questions quickly and thoroughly. He also helped us get our initial airline ticket refund from Bhutan Airlines.

Efficient and honest tour company in Bhutan

Very efficient, very friendly, very good guide, 5 starts.. from Rui Diogo, Portugal

I organized a Bhutan trip with Bhutan Aircon Tours & Travels. Planning with Karma, from the itinerary to airline tickets and visas, including choosing seats for a Himalayan view, was effortlessly coordinated with his prompt responses and helpful attitude. The female guide and driver in Bhutan were both highly knowledgeable and easy to get along with, adding to the memorable experience.

Our 10-day tour of Bhutan was amazing! The entire trip was well-planned, Mr Karma was quick to respond to our questions before the tour, and also checked in with us during the trip. Our guide Sonam and driver Dorji were not only professional but also incredibly friendly, caring and sweet. They made us feel well looked after throughout the tour. Mr Dorji is an exceptional driver navigating some tricky narrow lanes and we felt safe throughout. Their deep knowledge about Bhutanese history and culture helped us appreciate this incredible country. The serene landscapes, from lush valleys to majestic mountains, were breathtaking. Visiting monasteries and experiencing local traditions made us appreciate a different way of life that brings peace and happiness. A heartfelt thank you to the team for creating such a memorable experience!

I would highly recommend Butan Acorn Tours and Travel. Form the start to finish Karma was excellent at amending the tour to suit your needs. Karma is diligent, friendly and trustworthy in all his interactions. Norbu my guide was a great person and had an excellent knowledge of Bhutanese/ Buddhist culture and history and was really friendly, respectful and enjoyable company, you could not get a better guide for Bhutan. Sonam, our driver, was a really nice person also who had great insights into local Bhutanese life as well as being very friendly and respectful. If you are thinking of booking a tour in Bhutan definitely choose Acorn Tours!

It is the happiest country l have ever been to. As a solo female traveller, I felt safe and in awe throughout the trip! The daily schedule was designed in such a way that it offered cultural visits, beautiful treks, and free time! Tashi, my guide, was just outstanding. His enthusiasm for Bhutanese culture and his desire to bring the gorgeousness and history of the country in front was extraordinary. He made each site visit enriching and engaging with his knowledge and enthusiasm :) He also cared for me to ensure that l was always comfortable and having fun, providing me with all my questions answered. Nidup, my driver, was also very good; I could not have asked for a better driver than him. Besides my comfort, he was also very careful while driving, making me feel safe. Furthermore, his friendliness was an extra plus that put a lot of creativity into the journey. All my hotels were comfortable and luxurious and made me feel quite homely. All the places that I came across were as charming as the others. The meals always tasted great, with a blend of Bhutanese dishes and continental! The most memorable part of the tour was the walk to Taktsang Monastery. The scenic views were incredible and left me speechless! I recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Bhutan! I am already looking forward to returning as soon as possible!!!!

Talking to other travellers during our stay in Bhutan, we realised that we had been very lucky with our agency. The tour itself was well organised, the communication beforehand was excellent, fast and helpful. We also had an amazing guide, Norbu, who made our trip magical and very special. With his incredible knowledge of the country's history, recent developments, Buddhism, flora, fauna and so much more, we couldn't have asked for more. Coupled with his openness and humour, we enjoyed every single moment. It was quite impressive to see his professionalism despite his young age. In addition, we so much enjoyed observing his interaction with local people, especially kids. If you plan to book this tour - ask for Norbu as your guide.

The tour gives a very complete idea of Bhutan’s amazing landscape (lovely hikes), stunning culture (incredible temples) and wonderful people. We will cherish the memory of this journey , both our guide, Yeshi and our driver Zayeapa have been “treasure revealers”: We have discovered this beautiful country and it’s gentle, warm, welcoming people thanks to them. We could not have dreamt of better ambassadors than them to introduce us to Bhutan’s amazing culture. They went out of their way to organize it perfectly, always seemingly effortlessly, but with great professionalism, interesting information, friendliness, conversations and smiles all along the way. They really earned a place in our hearts.

What an incredible tour of an even more incredible country. Peaceful, restful, relaxing, beautiful are just some of the qualities of both. The history and culture are equally amazing. It is hard to write a review of this experience without sounding like an exaggeration. Bhutan is truly worth the time and effort to visit, and Bhutan Acorn Tours & Travel is an exceptional agency with which to experience it. Accommodations were first rate. The people of the country are unbelievably friendly and accommodating. From the beginning to the end of my initial contact with Acorn I felt the commitment to ensure my every concern was accommodated. Mr. Karma quickly and efficiently secured my visa, flight reservations and travel arrangements with ease and consideration for my individual circumstances. It is hard to put into words the comfort I felt dealing with him. Reliability is only one of them. On the ground, Mr. Norbu, my guide, and Mr. Nidup, my driver, ensured that I experienced and understood all that I saw. Patience and desire to ensure my trip was enjoyable, educational, and inspiring was clearly their primary goals. Mr. Norbu never tired of my questions even when asked over and over. It was like traveling with two knowledgeable friends. When was the last time you sat watching an archery competition (Bhutan archery is unique) or played a few games of snooker with your driver and guide? I cannot recommend this tour more strongly.

Loved every second of my tour with Norbu. Everything was very professional and the hotels really nice. The itinerary was flexible and we managed to squeeze in so much. Would highly recommend.

Amazing from start to finish. The owner, Karma, was excellent in organising our tour and documents before arrival and accommodating our needs. Our guide, Lobzhang, was the best guide - deep knowledge about the culture, history and nature and also guided us safely through 8 days in the Himalayas with the trekking crew. Bhutan is a truly amazing country and I highly recommend Acorn travel to organise your trip there. Not only will they ensure a 10/10 trip but you are also giving money directly to the local economy (vs US or European tour operators)

We had a fantastic time visiting Bhutan. Bhutan Acorn Tours & Travel crafted a beautiful fourteen day custom itinerary for my friend and I, and it was perfect. We learned about the country and had so much fun with our wonderful guide Kelzang and our driver Tashi. It was a life changing trip. Many thanks to Karma and his team!

We had an amazing 8 nights in Bhutan with Bhutan Acorn. Everything was perfect. Bhutan is simply unforgettable. Bhutan Acorn attended to our needs thoughtfully and responded super swiftly to our enquiries and requests. Every booking and confirmation were made at ease. Karma from Bhutan Acorn brought us a gorgeous pair of Gho and Kira and we were so glad and wore them for the entire trip. In the midst of the trip, Karma checked in with us to see if everything's in order, a nice touch. After they knew we wore the same Gho and Kira for the past 4 days, Karma immediately arranged a second pair for us and even asked for our colour preference. We were very delighted for this arrangement. It was our choice to wear this beautiful traditional costume throughout the trip and we hope to blend in and experience being a Bhutanese. Our guide and driver wore it the entire trip even to Tiger Nest Temple, so we believe we can do it, too. Knowing that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary, Karma amazingly arranged a tasty cake and a bottle of Bhutanese wine during our stay in Thimphu. Amazing. Our guide and driver, Tashi and Sonam, made a perfect quartet with us. Tashi is super fun, knowledgeable and attends to our change of plans swiftly and thoughtfully. Sonam is a reliable driver. We asked loads of questions in understanding Buddhism, Bhutan and the secret of their Gross National Happiness. We were mind-blown by the beauty of Bhutan, not just by the clean air, pristine scenery and gorgeous, exquisitely decorated and historic temples and dzongs, but most importantly, the beautiful and genuine people in Bhutan. We love everything in Bhutan. Thanks Bhutan Acorn!
