All Access Bhutan...In our clients' words
| ''We have visited Bhutan twice in the last three years and having had the good fortune to have Choki as our guide the first time, we were very happy to have him organise our second trip. Choki Dorji has an excellent knowledge of Bhutanese culture, Buddhism and important sites and treasures around the country. Choki's experience in the tourist industry and his personal contact with local people gave us a unique access and insight into this extraordinary country. His English is excellent, he was patient answering our constant questions and he has the ability to explain the way things work clearly and with a sense of humour. Choki helped us plan our individual itinerary with great care, efficiency and attention to detail, despite some of it being well off the beaten track. The transport was excellent and our experienced driver was courteous, friendly and took great care of us. All Access Bhutan provided us with a marvellous and memorable holiday and we guarantee that you too will enjoy the hospitality and great company that Choki and his friends have to offer." Kim and Fiona Fletcher Kent, England "We have had two outstanding trips to Bhutan in the capable care of Choki Dorji. We’re now planning our third trip to this amazing country with him and All Access Bhutan. Dorji is simply the best. His personal attention, knowledge and sensitivity are deep and heartfelt. There are many guides in Bhutan but we feel truly fortunate to have found All Access Bhutan and Dorji." David Roos & Ian Challis Seattle, Washington USA "My trip to Bhutan guided by Choki Dorji was an inspired mix of mind-boggling scenery, old culture steeped in rituals and history, and wonderful hostels with first class cuisine. It was perfect! Choki Dorji added personal warmth and humor to the trip as well as an astounding knowledge of the intricacies of Buddhism, Bhutanese history, and local customs, making each moment an unforgettable delight. The pacing was a perfect choreography of contrasting scenic nature drives, stops at monasteries and fortresses, sampling some amazing cooking (Bhutanese like it Hot!) some hikes through the prairies and mountains, visiting local craft centers, and strolling about the cities Thimphu and Paro. I am now excitedly in the midst of planning my next trek to Bhutan with him and anticipate a challenging and memorable tour!" Frances-Marie Uitti Amsterdam, Netherlands "My friend and I had a most amazing trip to Bhutan this past September. The country is a jewel itself with its undulating valleys that offer an endlessly and impossibly beautiful tapestry of green fields. The spirit of Buddhism and all the folklore were witnessed everywhere. From the chortens along the roadways, the religious paintings on the boulders, the prayer flags swaying with the wind and the crisp sounds of the prayer wheels in the air; one can just feel the material world slowly wash away and give space to a quieter and simpler way of living, and a more intimate way of staying closer to one’s core. All these sceneries are to be had and enjoyed by most visitors to Bhutan, but our experience was richly enriched by our fantastic guide, Mr. Choki Dorji. Choki (or as we come to call him our Bhutanese son) is knowledgeable, personal and just great fun to be around with. By about the third day on our journey, I felt like we were being hosted by a dear friend in Bhutan and getting personal introduction to his country as opposed to being led by a tour guide. We even stayed in his family home for a few nights (and had a most interesting stone bath experience) and got to experience the everyday life of a Bhutanese. The trip was so enjoyable and so unique in its own way that I am considering going back in 2008." Mo-Lan Chan Palo Alto, California USA "Our first trip to Bhutan in early 2006 was handled professionally and competently by Choki Dorji, who took care of all of the details so that we could concentrate on this country´s incredible culture and beauty. Dorji knows the culture and Buddhist perspectives very well, and his English is impeccable. He took us to major and less-known locations in the towns and villages we visited. He has that delightful typically Bhutanese gentle humor that added so much to our understanding and enjoyment of all we saw and did. We plan to go back trekking in a year, and Dorji will certainly be our guide and friend on any of our next trips." Jane Uitti & Norman Taylor Boulder, Colorado USA "We returned the second time to Bhutan for it is a truly special and breathtaking place. The country is filled with untouched natural beauty - Himalayan mountains, the valleys, endless beautiful farmland. The people are friendly, sweet and unassuming. We find peace when we are there. It is one of the last places in the world that still has retained its original raw beauty." Joy Chen & Vernon Giang San Francisco, CA USA |
