EXCELLENTVerified An amazing experience! I just finished a 6D/5N tour of Bhutan with OMSHA including Thimphu, Punakha and Paro. From the very first inquiry by email, all the way through to saying goodbye at the airport at the end of the tour, it truly was a fantastic experience! OMSHA go out of their way to ensure you have a wonderful time and cater to every need and question you might have. Given that I wanted to customise my tour in various ways, this really helped. Many thanks to my guide Lhazin and driver Azha for a stellar and memorable experience in Bhutan!, and to Nawang for helping me plan the tour through multiple emails and WhatsApp messages. I seriously can't find a single minor fault even. Would recommend OMSHA in a heartbeat.Posted onVerified A Truly Hassle-Free Bhutan Experience Thanks to Omsha Travels I had an amazing experience with Omsha Travels during our recent 10-day trip to Bhutan, and I genuinely want to appreciate the exceptional service provided by Nawang and his team. From the very beginning, everything was thoughtfully planned and seamlessly executed. We didn’t face a single issue throughout the trip - all arrangements, from transportation to itinerary planning, were handled perfectly. A special shoutout to our guide Ugyen and our driver Sonam, who were incredibly supportive, friendly yet professional and made our journey smooth and enjoyable throughout. What really stood out was how smoothly they handled unexpected situations and external challenges. During our journey from Bagdogra Airport to Phuentsholing, there was a high-profile movement due to the Chief Minister’s visit in West Bengal, which could have easily caused delays and confusion. However, everything was managed so efficiently that we didn’t face any inconvenience at all. Even during immigration, our guide ensured the process was quick and hassle-free. Also, since it was a festive season in Bhutan, accommodations were in high demand - but despite that, Nawang and his team managed to secure us good, comfortable hotels. Thanks to their planning, we even got the opportunity to experience and visit a local festival, which became one of the highlights of our trip. What truly impressed me the most, however, was the way Nawang handled an unexpected situation on our last day. We had initially been booked at a hotel(where we had stayed on the first day here as well), but this time the experience was extremely disappointing - the rooms were in poor condition, had a bad odor, and the service was not up to the mark. Despite requesting a room change, the hotel staff did not cooperate. The moment we informed Nawang, he immediately stepped in and took ownership of the situation. Without any delay, he arranged an alternative hotel for us, which turned out to be far, far better - hygienic, comfortable, and exactly what we needed after a long trip. His responsiveness and problem-solving in that moment really showed how much he values his customers’ comfort and experience. What impressed me even more was his honesty and professionalism - he informed us that he has decided to discontinue working with that hotel moving forward because of this incident. That level of accountability and integrity is rare. I would also like to highlight that Omsha Travels is listed on Bhutan’s official government tourism platforms, and after experiencing their service firsthand, I can confidently say they truly live up to that recognition. We also had the chance to meet Nawang in person, and he is truly humble, grounded, and very genuine - qualities that clearly reflect in his work. If you’re planning a trip and looking for someone reliable, responsive, and customer-focused, I would highly recommend Omsha Travels. They don’t just plan trips - they ensure you have a smooth, stress-free, and memorable experience throughout. Thank you once again, Nawang, Ugyen, Sonam & the team for making our Bhutan trip so special!Posted onVerified Seamless Planning and Exceptional Service in Bhutan When searching for a Bhutanese tour operator, I found Omsha Travels via the official Bhutan tourism website, and it was a total godsend. Led by Nawang, Omsha Travels is a truly genuine operator. Nawang is incredibly responsive and communicates promptly. We initially planned a nine-day tour but later decided to extend it to ten days, and the team accommodated the change seamlessly. They offer highly competitive rates alongside stays at the best hotels available. Our journey began in Bagdogra, and Nawang provided our driver details well in advance. Despite some road blocks and commotion due to the Indian elections, the situations were handled expertly. Upon entering Bhutan, we met our guide, Ugyen, who navigated the immigration formalities with ease. Throughout the trip, they shared the rich history and stories behind every temple and dzong we visited, They also accompanied us on various hikes with a lively and tireless spirit that kept us motivated. Our trip coincided with the Paro Tshechu, which is the busiest time of year, yet Omsha Travels still secured excellent accommodation in the heart of the city. Our driver, Sonam, was exceptionally calm and patient throughout the entire journey. When we encountered an issue with one of our stays, Nawang resolved it the moment he was notified. His genuine concern for the experience of his guests is clear. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a seamless trip to Bhutan!Posted onVerified Amazing We recently completed a 7-night Bhutan trip with Omsha Travel, and it turned out to be one of the most special experiences of my life. I’m from Nashik, India, and while I’ve traveled to several countries, this was the first international trip for my parents. Choosing Bhutan was the best decision—it’s peaceful, welcoming, and perfect for a relaxed family trip. A big thank you to our guide, Ugyen Sonam, who truly made this journey unforgettable. He was incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and always went the extra mile to ensure our comfort. When we faced food issues in Phobjikha, he personally took us to a great local restaurant in his own car. During the Tiger’s Nest hike, he patiently supported my mother throughout, making the experience enjoyable and stress-free. Sonam shared deep insights into Bhutanese culture, history, and food, answering all our questions with enthusiasm. His positive energy and kindness made us feel at home. We also appreciated the thoughtful gesture from the owner, Nawang, who met us in Thimphu and gave us souvenirs—it added a very personal touch to the trip. The entire experience—from comfortable stays to skilled drivers and unique highlights like the hot stone bath in Paro and homemade rice wine at a homestay—was exceptional. We especially loved the simplicity and warmth of the Bhutanese people. One thing that really stood out—when I casually mentioned I wanted a book to learn more about Bhutan, he surprised me with a Lonely Planet book. It honestly made me so happy. I would highly recommend Omsha Travel and Sonam to anyone planning a Bhutan trip. Truly a memorable and heartwarming experience!Posted onVerified Memories to Cherish I had the most wonderful experience travelling in Bhutan with Omsha Travels. The trip was wonderfully organised with our queries being answered immediately. From day 1 to day 6, we had a hell of a time with days gone by learning and understanding the culture and exploring the serenity and tranquillity Bhutan had to offer. Our guide, Ugyen Tshewang, was an absolute gem of a person, kind, patient, always ready to listen, and full of great humour. A special shoutout to Acho Wangchuk, our driving partner, for driving us safely through the roads of Bhutan. Both of them, along with Mr Nawang Dorje, made my first trip outside India memorable. Thank you again, Omsha Travels.Posted onVerified Exceptional service and warm hospitality I have just enjoyed a 6 day trip with my daughter to Bhutan organised through OMSHA travel. My initial contact was with Nawang who runs the company and his correspondence was always prompt and helpful. We fine tuned the itinerary a couple of times and he was patient and accommodating throughout and before we even arrived in Bhutan we felt confident we would be well looked after. Our guide was Namgay and our driver Jimmy. Both were outstanding. We have travelled the world and I can say that Namgay is one of the most knowledgeable guides I have met. She takes great pride in her work and has studied the history of Bhutan in great depth and there wasn’t a single question she couldn’t answer in an engaging and interesting way. Her pride in her country and her role as a guide shines through. Jimmy our driver was very careful on the roads and very helpful and courteous carrying items for us during mountain treks. He was always one step ahead anticipating when we may need a water or a rest. We couldn’t have asked for more from both of them and would highly recommend them if you are considering a trip to Bhutan. We visited Paro, Thimphu and Punakha. Thank you!Posted onVerified A Dream Trip to Bhutan Thanks to OMSHA Travel We are a family group who recently completed a 10-day trip to Bhutan visiting Punakha, Bumthang, Phobjikha, Thimphu, and Paro, organized by OMSHA Travel. From start to finish, OMSHA Travel went far beyond our expectations, and we are so grateful to have had one of the most amazing and memorable trips thanks to their wonderful team. From the very beginning, Ngawang was always extremely responsive, courteous, and patient in answering my many questions. He was also very accommodating when it came to fine-tuning and customizing the itinerary to suit our wishlist. Our tour guide, Ugyen Sonam, and our driver, Namgay, were truly the best guide and driver we could have imagined. They make a fantastic team and played a huge role in making our visit to Bhutan so smooth and unique. Ugyen is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Bhutanese history, religion, and culture. Throughout the journey, he shared many fascinating stories, helping us gain a much deeper understanding of the monasteries, festivals, and traditions that we encountered along the way. His thoughtful insights and warm personality made every visit even more meaningful and engaging. Namgay was an exceptional driver—always calm, attentive, and incredibly careful on the mountain roads. His attention to detail, patience, and caring nature made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire trip. He was always ready to lend a helping hand and ensured that every part of the journey ran smoothly. Both Ugyen and Namgay worked incredibly hard throughout the trip to ensure our experience in Bhutan was truly special. If you are planning a trip to Bhutan, having such a knowledgeable guide and careful driver truly makes the journey much more meaningful and enjoyable. From attending the Tshechu festival to visiting beautiful monasteries, from watching the rare black-necked cranes to hiking to the iconic Taktsang (Tiger’s Nest), from trekking alongside pristine rivers to learning about local Bhutanese culture—every single day was filled with laughter, wonderful surprises and unforgettable memories that we will carry with us long after returning home. Thank you once again to the OMSHA team for your warm hospitality, friendliness, and professionalism in making our Bhutan journey a dream come true! By the end of the trip, we felt we had not only discovered Bhutan, but also made some wonderful friends along the way. We highly recommend OMSHA Travel to anyone planning a trip to Bhutan.Posted onVerified Travelling with Omsha travels is an experience you will always cherish We went for a 9 day trip to Bhutan with Omsha travels and the experience was awesome. Right from the beginning of our planning via Whatsapp, Mr.Nawang Dorje was always quick to respond to my each and every query and he prepared a suitable itrenary as per our requirements. The pick up and drop from Baghdogra to Baghdogra and all the siteseeings from Phuentshelling, Thimphu, Punakha, Phobjikha, Paro , each and every thing was impeccable. Our guide Mr. Ugyen Tshewang and driver Mr. Wangchuk were very experienced and they made our journey comforable and funfull. Being an all woman team, we felt very safe and secure with them. I recommend Omsha travels to everyone who wants to visit Bhutan.Posted onVerified Bhutan, But Even More Special We had the most amazing Bhutan experience thanks to Omsha Travels, and more so, thanks to our guide Dorji Lhazin and driver, Gyep Tshering. Right from the moment we landed at Pheuntsholing, up to dropping us back, both of them were a part of our journey, as more than just companions, sharing anecdotes, experiences, jokes and of course, stories of Bhutan. Over 8 days, we covered Punakha, Phobjika (a proactive recommendation by the agent), Thimphu and Paro. But in reality, Dorji and Gyep made us experience all of Bhutan at once. The vivid and wonderful Punakha Tsechu at the majestic Punakha Dzong, the breathtaking Phobjika valley, the towering Dordenma Statue and last, but definitely not least, the life-changing march to Paro Takhtsang, among many others will be some memories I carry back with me, and treasure forever. This trip was made even more memorable due to the thoughtful actions of our agent, Gyep and Dorji, who not only accommodated our every wish, but also adjusted everything to our budget. From the hotels selected, to the roads chosen, the treks hiked to the meals savoured, they made every bit of Bhutan even more special. P.S. We loved our time here so much, that as I sit here writing this from Pheunshotling, one day before we bid adieu to Bhutan, we’re already planning our return trip to Central and East Bhutan (Hope you’ll be ready to welcome us again Dorji, Gyep and Omsha Travels! ;)Posted onVerified Experiência única Experiência única. Conhecer o Butão de forma leve e tranquila. Nossa guia Sonam foi muito dedicada e o nosso motorista Nawang mostrou muita habilidade nas muitas curvas das estradas.
