    Beyond expectation service. Impressive with the service. Our guide Adrian is very accommodating, we can customize our own experiences that make the trip unique for us. Like hiking and cafe hopping, we did that a lot. Bhutan is peaceful and religious country that is developing toward happiness of its people. We’re glad to come here with Bhutan imperial lotus tour.

    Bhutan days My experience with Imperial Lotus was truly exceptional. It’s one of the best and most caring travel companies I’ve encountered. The team is warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making every moment special. From the comfortable stays to the delicious food, everything was perfectly arranged. I felt well taken care of throughout the entire trip, and every detail was thoughtfully handled. If you’re looking for a memorable, smooth, and enjoyable travel experience, I highly recommend Imperial Lotus. I can’t wait to travel with them again!

    Memorable Experience with Bhutan Imperial Lotus Tours We had a truly wonderful time visiting Bhutan, and our experience with Bhutan Imperial Lotus Tours made it even more special. The itinerary was well-paced, with a perfect balance of exploration and relaxation. We had an exceptional guide, Yugel, who was knowledgeable, friendly, and always eager to share the historical and cultural significance of the places we visited. The accommodations were fantastic, with each hotel offering all the amenities we could ask for, ensuring a comfortable stay throughout our journey. We also tried some of Bhutan's delicious local cuisine and absolutely loved everything, especially the Ema Datshi, which quickly became a favorite. A highlight of our trip was the bike ride to the beautiful Phobjikha Valley. The tour was smoothly organized, and all the necessary gear was provided to make the ride enjoyable and safe. We also had an amazing time rafting, which was both thrilling and a lot of fun. A big thank you to our guide, Yugel, and the entire Imperial Lotus Tours team, including Andrew, for making our time in Bhutan so memorable. We’re already looking forward to returning soon! Definitely recommend Bhutan Imperial Lotus Tours!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Outstanding tour guide service!! Highly recommend Bhutan Imperial Lotus Tours. Friend and I traveled to Bhutan for three days and this group did not disappoint. The itinerary was excellent. Paced well. And they were adept at change bc course at our request. Highlight of the trip was when we hiked to the Tiger’s Nest. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and came prepared to help us make the most of the trip. Later that night we ended up at the hot stone baths, which was amazing!!!

    Imperial We visited Bhutan 🇧🇹 on winter of 2019, that was on December through imperial Lotus tours for 2 weeks. We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for their great management. They made our travel and stay very fabulous, comfort and convenient. We are really impressed by their service and hospitality, they were always there for any kind of assistance. We would like to visit Bhutan again and it is for sure we will choose Imperial Lotus Tour and will definitely recommend to our friends. Thank you once again.

    Esperienza meravigliosa!! Siamo appena tornati da un tour in Bhutan organizzato dalla “Bhutan Imperial Lotus Tour”. A parte i posti stupendi che abbiamo visto, il viaggio è stato perfettamente organizzato. La guida ci ha fatto apprezzare ogni singola esperienza e luogo di questo paese, è stata super disponibile ed è stato tutto perfetto. La consiglio vivamente per conoscere tutte le tradizioni e la cultura del posto! Grazie Sambhu!

    Amazing Buthan Buthan was on our bucket list for a long time and so we had great expectations. Thanks to Buthan Imperial Motus Tour and especially Sonam, all our expectations were fulfilled and even more... This country is really amazing and you will quickly get the sense of serenity not only when climbing to the Tiger’s nest but also through the beautiful and untouched landscapes, the magnificent Dzongs and the welcoming people. I couldn’t recommend more to visit this country as soon as possible. Paro, Thimphu, Punakha, Bumthang, valleys and mountains, do not hesitate to visit all of them, take your time, relax and enjoy every moments!
