Dear Rinzin, You are very welcome!  We did reach home safe and sound, but will remember our trip to Bhutan as a wonderful experience.  I have already been recommending Bhutan to friends and colleagues and will be speaking to several groups about the trip.  I will recommend Shangri-La Bhutan Tours & Treks very highly to anyone who has an interest in visiting Bhutan.  Thank you again for making our visit such a nice experience!

Dear Mr Rinzin. Having just returned from India three days ago, I would like to send you my thanks for arranging a very good tour of Bhutan. I will never forget my visit to your country. Although I have seen many countries in Asia, Bhutan was possibly the very most beautiful of them all.

I also wish to ask you to forward my best wishes to Utam and Dorji for taking me around Bhutan for two weeks. Both of them did a very good job and were pleasant companions.
Kindest regards, Gert Holmertz, Sweden.

Hello! Duptho, I am writing this note to ask if you received the binoculars my wife and I sent, through you, to Utam? I hope you stayed long enough in NYC to receive it! Many thanks again for kindly taking it to Utam.

We often talk about our wonderful trip last November-December to Bhutan. In fact, this Saturday, my wife and I are going to Vancouver for a week of holidays. We are meeting with the other group members of our trip and look forward to seeing their pictures and re-living our experiences. I am sure one of these days we will return - but it will be during the flowering season!

Please give our regards to Utam and Ajid. Best regards to you too. Sergio (de Sousa), Canada

Dear Mr. Rinzin, This morning we came back to Japan safely. We had a very good time and were so relaxed in Buhtan for these 10 days. I really appreciate you for everything to prepare for our tour. The guide and driver, Mr. Kado and Mr. Sonam had wonderful and
lovable character and made me feel so comfortable!! The accomodations and dishes everyday were so nice, above all, the Bhutanese people were very friendly.
 
And, Thank you very much for your visiting our hotel, we had a very good time to talk to you. We would like to visit Bhutan again in the future and introduce the attraction of Bhutan tour to our friends!

Thank you very much again!! Best regards, Yoshihiro Kaku, Japan (2005)

Dear Rinzin, I returned from India on Sunday having had a marvellous time there.  But the 11 days I spent with Shaun and Lucy in Bhutan will always be fondly remembered.  You looked after us extremely well, we saw a great deal and I loved every minute.  For my part  my only regret is that I did not see any of the wonderful paintings or weaving being actually  done.  I would also suggest that you should be aware that the English (particularly) enjoy walking and having picnics.  When you fix an itinerary it might be worth asking the clients whether they would like a picnic instead of a lunch in an hotel on some days.  The fact that there is no hassling (i.e. begging or tipping) is a significant bonus.  Of course one does get used to it in India and Nepal, but it can spoil things if you are not feeling robust.  I can give no greater tribute than to say I should love to come back.   Many thanks, Ann Procopé.

Dear Duptho, We are eventually home again after a very lengthy trip.   I am now sitting down and viewing the photos of Bhutan which are really very good!  We did so enjoy visiting your country.  It was very beautiful and we were privileged to have JB and Utam as driver and guide.  Together they were great and with the long journey we made, I never once felt unsafe with JB at the wheel.  Thank you very much for organising everything for us, it was very much appreciated.

Nepal was very different, apart from the Himalayas and one excellent hotel, The Tiger Mountain Lodge, it was all very tiring having to jostle with pushy sellars and the endless people asking for money. Kathmandu was a dump and I really do not feel like recommending it to anyone!

I will, of course, be recommending your Company to anyone who decides to travel to Bhutan.  I am having to have a knee replacement operation in December and so will be slightly out of action for a while.

Anyway, again many thanks for all your help. With Best Wishes, Lucy Allison, UK

Everything is great and I think often of the Bhutan trip.  I will definitely be coming with Taylor but it will be the spring of next year as I can't find the time before then.  I will confirm around Christmas time.

Dear Mr Rinzin, Hope this mail finds you well and that the rest of the season has been both busy and enjoyable for yourself and your guides. I would like to thank you once again for organising such a wonderful trip. Certainly was the experience of a lifetime - we talk about the trip constantly and have fantastic memories of yourself, your country and everyone we met there. Only regret Daniel will remember so little - we will have to bring him back sometime.

Thank you again for all the extra trouble you went to make the trip so special, as well as for the generosity in lending us some money. Apologies that it has taken so long to correspond - the manic "real" world imposed itself pretty dramatically on my return.

Thanks for the photo as well - that is superb. We will send you a few photos soon. Please send our regards (Daniel's especially) to Utam and Dorje.
