Q. What kind of dress is best to pack for Bhutan trip from Guwahati?
Bhutan doesn't like skin showoff, so you will find both men and women flaunting their traditional dress a Gho for him and Kira for her whenever on streets including the small children's wearing the miniature version. Keeping this in mind don't carry shorts, sleeveless, hats, short skirts, flip flops, and t-shirts on your trip. So pack wisely as many times visitors are not allowed to step inside the monastery if found violating the dress code.
Q. What is the best time to book a Bhutan Tour Package via Guwahati?
March to May or June is spring in Bhutan and it is the best time to travel Bhutan. During this time, the air becomes clear fresh with sunny sky. The average temperature during this time becomes 20°C to 25°C which is very much soothing and comfortable for a tripper. This is the most pleasant time in Bhutan with dry and sunny weather all the time. The famous rhododendrons bloom this time and flood the valleys with color. From June to August monsoon comes and the mountain covers with heavy rain. Flights (except the chartered flights) may interrupt their schedule due to rain. So, if are really looking for Bhutan Trip, book your Bhutan Package Tour from Guwahati Airport between March to June which is considered as the peak tourist season in Bhutan.

Hi Soumalya, We are very much thankful to you for planning entire Bhutan Package Tour from Mumbai with so proper itinerary, without any hectic schedule. We were able to enjoy all beautiful places, clicking lots of photographs without any worries about reaching to next destination. Hotels were good. Food was great. Especially, we enjoyed ourselves much at Mrs. Sonam's house. She was a gem, very warm and kind hearted lady and great cook. We enjoyed food at her place more than any other since it was home made with love and care. Special thanks to her and Mr Sonam too. Mr. Parmesh, our driver was very helpful too and entertained us lot. He was our part-time guide too.
Once again, I thank you for responding all my queries so patiently and Mr Sandip Raha too (I got a first introductory call from him as soon as I had put my query late in the night around 11 PM) and for completing our trip with success and lots of good memories in Bhutan. I will blindly recommend NatureWings to anyone who is looking for Bhutan Trip in future.

"I booked my Bhutan Package with NatureWings for me & my friend. We two gals traveled with nice car & good young driver. It was really enjoyable. I want to say that they are best in Bhutan sector. I also want to tell travel people that if there r senior citizens then book for them the hotels which has lift to go upstairs or set their stay on ground level but up views are always more beautiful. Thanks to NatureWings for memorable & beautiful stay in Bhutan. Bhutan is very beautiful & peaceful country with very beautiful people as well. You have to definitely try with this sector. If I go again to Bhutan then only I will book with NatureWings."

"Had a memorable Bhutan Vacation (Oct 2017) with NatureWings. Special thanks to Mr. Suman Paul for planning the trip. Also, the operations team in Bhutan supported us very well, many thanks to Ms. Sabitra.
We were 9 adults accompanied by two infants. We were given a comfortable 16 seater coaster. The driver and tour guide were very well informed and friendly. We had a pleasant stay (2N) at Osel, Thimpu. Punakha was splendid with Zhinkham Resorts (1N). In Paro, due to lack of availability we were given two rooms in Tashinamgay and Taktsang (3N). While Tashinamgay was good, I would not recommend Taktsang Boutique Resort at all.
Overall we had a great experience in the beautiful country of Bhutan... Tashi Delek!"
