Talo Village in Punakha: A Hidden Gem in Bhutan
EXCELLENTVerified Peaceful and unique Bhutan My experience was truly amazing from start to finish. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, kind and genuinely passionate about what they do! Our guide, Sonam was absolutely outstanding, she took the time to carefully explain each place we went to, sharing deep historical and cultural background in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. She never rushed us, always made sure we were comfortable, and answered every question with patience and enthusiasm. You could really feel how much she cared about making this experience meaningful for us. Thanks to Sonam, this tour was not just informative but truly memorable. I can’t recommend her and OMSHA highly enough.Posted onVerified Magical Tiger’s Nest The experience of hiking up the Tiger’s Nest was spiritual and breath-taking! It was our dream come true. Our guide, Sonam was very considerate with all our requests and needs. She is very knowledgeable of the touristy and local information that made our tour curated to our needs. We love her and our driver Takshi!Posted onVerified Omsha is the best! Had a wonderful trip organised by Omsha - Mr Na Wang responds very quickly and warmly to my inquiries, so I felt very welcomed even before the trip. I had the best combination of Sonam and Dashi, it was like traveling with friends! I learnt so much from them about Bhutan, but best of all they were attentive, thoughtful and made my trip such a memorable one. I miss them and Bhutan very much and will not hesitate to travel with Bhutan with them and Omsha again~ It's hard to put in words the magic of Bhutan, but traveling with Omsha is definitely the way to go.Posted onVerified Great first glimpse of Bhutan! My dad and I travelled to Bhutan for the first time and I decided to go with OMSHA because of the very reasonable offer I received from Nawang. He was always prompt in replying to all our questions and very flexible in accommodating all our requests in changing the itinerary to fit our needs. Our Guide was Ugyen Sonam and our driver was Tashi. They were both very friendly and professional. Sonam is very knowledgeable on the history and culture of Bhutan and Buddhism. Tashi is a great driver who always made us feel safe. We had a great time and can’t wait to go back to explore more :)Posted onVerified Great experience Excellent tour. Sonam was a terrific guide and really enjoyed the knowledge he shared about the monasteries, Bhutan and Buddhist history. Tashi was an excellent driver, very reliable and professional, always ready to go in the a.m. morning and always on time. Both very kind and very gracious. Nawang the owner was very easy to deal with and very nice meeting in person.Posted onVerified Smooth & Awesome I traveled to Bhutan with Omsha Travels, and it was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment we landed, every arrangement was perfectly taken care of. Our guide, Ngawang Loday, and driver, Ngawang Kinley, were extremely respectful, professional, and warm, making our journey smooth and genuinely enjoyable. They played a huge role in making the entire experience beautiful and stress-free.A special mention to the travel coordinator, Ngawang, who personally came to meet us, handed over thoughtful gifts, and ensured that everything was going seamlessly throughout the trip. The level of care and hospitality was exceptional. I would definitely recommend Omsha Travels to anyone planning a trip to Bhutan.Posted onVerified Awesome Birding and Cultural Trip to Bhutan We did a 10 day trip in Bhutan with Omsha Travel. We covered the usual cultural sites of Paro, Thimpu and Punakha as well as other locations in Central Bhutan like Phobjikha, Trongsa and Yongkhola for birding activities.The overall booking process was very smooth and easy - Nawang was very responsive and provided itineraries and costs in a very transparent manner.The actual trip was quite flawless - Pema (birding guide) and Tashi (driver) met us at Paro airport and were with us throughout the trip. They made us feel at home right from the start and shared a lot of information and tips about Bhutan throughout the trip. Pema was very knowledgeable about the local bird species and his experience was vital in seeing 100+ bird species, most of which were completely new to me. Bhutan does not have dedicated bird sanctuaries or birding trails/hides - so, most of the birding is done along the highways and local roads - Pema knew exactly where to stop for a specific type of birds.Tashi was a very steady driver all through out (and we had quite a few long driving days) - always ready with a smile and infectious enthusiasm. Overall, it was a beautiful experience in a beautiful country - probably one of the last untouched Himalayan lands. Hopefully, will come back for another trip in spring, when the birds are said to be even more active.Posted onVerified Amazing trip to Bhutan with OMSHA Travel I had a wonderful trip to Bhutan with this agency.My guide Namgay was fantastic – she is very kind, knowledgeable and always helpful.Our driver Tashi was very safe and professional, and I felt comfortable the whole time.I highly recommend this company, especially guide Namgay and driver Tashi.Posted onVerified Couldn't be better! We, me and ny wife, had a five night/six day tour with OMSHA travel. It was designed according to our preferences. Nawang, the owner, was very professinal, attentive, kind and quick! Even during the jouney he was very observant that we had a good time. He came to a hotel one evening just to hear how we were doing. Our guide, Sonam, was extremely nice, but he also had a lot of knowledge about both budhism and Bhutan. He also shared experiences from his own life, which made our experience of Bhutan and the butanese life much more vivid. He was also observant and made changes in our itenerary according to our preferences. I'm sure he must be the best guide you can get! Our driver, Nawang (same name as the owner), was both a safe driver and a very kind and caring person. Sonam and Nawang were a perfect team! When we slould leave Bhutan at the bordercrossing in Phuentsholing, they both followed us all the way trough the immigration process and made sure that we found our driver on the Indian side. I can truly recommend OMSHA travel, they couln't have done better!Posted onVerified Excellent and authentic experience to Bhutan We have traveled with OMSHA Travel from 2 till 10 of November to Bhutan. The experience was unique and really authentic and we totally loved this country. The tour was perfectly organized by Nawang. The hotels, the transfers, everything was high standard. I think that the cost for value is the best in Bhutan, without reducing the quality of services. We did some things off the beaten track and it was an awesome experience. Our guide Sonam and driver Namgay were really awesome, very polite, helpful and mostly perfect at their job. I think we have some friends now there. I totally recommend the OMSHA Travel 👏
