Tashi - Your kindness and love of your country will secure your success. Your enthusiastic attitude, your personal touch is the best memory we have about Bhutan. - Thomas Cheng, CANADA.

Kadrinchey! For a most memorable experience, Tashi. I feel like I just woke up from a dream. I did not want to leave Bhutan but here I am, back in Honolulu. I have traveled most of the world but Bhutan is a special place and it will remain so in my heart. Aloha. - Charlotte, HAWAII.

Kuzuzangpo Tashi, Just a short note of thanks to tell you that I appreciated your guide services, and the information you provided to me about your country and it’s people. You certainly have great reasons to be proud of your country and its wonderful people. Keep up the good work! Tell them to keep their heads up. Peace and best in life to you and your family. Kadrinchey. - Robin Leong, San Francisco, USA.

Tashi, your inner strength and spirituality as well as your calm and kind nature made my experience of Bhutan extraordinary. Also your knowledge of the country and your willingness to share and create special experience for our group, all with a great sense of humor was just the best. Thank you for showing us the love you have for your country and for all people. - Dianne W. Donahue, San Francisco, USA.


Bhutan is lovelier than I imagined…

Bhutan is lovelier than I imagined and the people are beautiful on the inside and out! I can understand why people who travel here say you’ll be back. I know I will. - Patty Pressley, Texas, USA.

Tashi-As you’ve heard from all the other ladies, we truly had a fabulous time. I’ve spent my entire weekend telling & re-telling stories about how wonderful Bhutan is…. the country, the history, the land, and most of all, the people. It’s by far my favorite Asian country I’ve visited. Gracious and hospitable. Would be delighted to keep in touch. Shame not to. Domou Domou Domou Arigatougozaimashita! - Miki Yoshino, HONG KONG.

Tashi, we all arrived safely yesterday. Thanks again for a wonderful trip and we all agreed that you added so much to our Bhutan experience and we will miss our new friend. - Lynly Fong, AUSTRALIA

Hi Tashi, Thanks again for all your thoughtfulness and going that extra mile to make sure we all had such a memorable experience. I was very touched by all of you for making my birthday such a special one. It was very sweet of you to organize the cake and help the girls with buying the kira and also the wonderful cosmic mandala! - Vera Tang Goodwin, CANADA

Tashi - you’ve made this 1st trip to Bhutan so memorable, pleasurable and full of activities. I don’t know if my knee will ever make it possible to return - I might just return for the cultural events, the textile arts and your charming personality. Thank you ever so much for this experience in this far away land. - Margaret Leong, Hawaii, USA.


A completely personalized tour with exclusive services…

We were worried that using a local tour operator would not provide the services that overseas tour operator would provide. But to our pleasant surprise using YANA Expeditions gave us more than we ever dreamt of in terms of local culture, food, interesting hotels and access to the true world of Bhutan. - Marcy Trent Long, Hong Kong.

Tashi - Your enthusiasm and hospitality definitely made us feel like a guest to Bhutan rather than a tourist. Also, the care you took in planning and arranging special hikes made the overall experience of Bhutan so memorable. Thank you. - Sharon York, Hong Kong

Hi Tashi - Just a quick note to thank YOU for the great time we had in Bhutan. Your service was excellent and we appreciate the personal touch you gave us. Sharon Lee, California, USA.

Many thanks, Tashi. You were an inspirational and gracious host. - Gallagher Chu & Family, Hong Kong.

A completely personalized tour with exclusive services and had the chance to get an impression of ‘REAL LIFE’ as well as seeing the sights. A well-balanced trip with culture, access to local people in a natural setting, scenery and hiking. All happened in a very friendly service; felt more like visiting a friend than taking a tour. - Robin M. Leigh, UK

We thank you for being such a gracious, understanding and patient host, and for sharing your knowledge of Bhutan, stories illustrating the wisdom of Buddhism, and the tales from your life. Bicycling through your beautiful country on great rides with just Bhutanese hospitality and your company has made this a remarkable life long experience for us. - Talissa Altes & Gia DeAngelis, Virginia, USA.


We had an opportunity to experience many facets of Bhutan

Tashi - You made each day and each stop come to a vibrant life. Your knowledge of your country and your religion made such a difference. - Frank William Rice, San Diego, USA.

Tashi - Your whole-hearted effort & dedication you put into your “guiding” and building your company to the best, not the biggest is becoming a success. You will always be connected with my memories about Buddhism and Bhutan. Keep working hard and telling jokes. Best of Luck! - Catherine, San Diego, USA.

Dear Tashi, We’ll never forget our wonderful trip to Bhutan because of you. You provided us with so many special experiences and we feel lucky to have had you as our guide. Best of you luck and hope to see you again in the US or Bhutan. - Pam & Bruce Deitz, Montana, USA.

Tashi - This was a fabulous trip. We had an opportunity to experience many facets of Bhutan. You continued to surprise us with wonderful extras like breakfast at Lover’s Point, the beautiful lunch spot near Mongar, the long life blessing ceremony, the rafting and tent camps. You were willing to make changes as people wished and were very accommodating. You are the best guide we have ever had! Your constant attention to detail and looking out for all of us was amazing. Anything we mentioned miraculously appeared the next day. Overall it was a great tour. We enjoyed staying in the smaller, local hotels. Bhutan is an experience and many people come for the country, scenery, people and you do a great job getting that across. That is the most important aspect - your logo “Travel as Guests, Not as Tourists.” You love of your country and Buddhism is a great factor in your favor and it comes through. The walks in front of the bus were very important not only for exercise but it gave us a change to see the countryside up close. Thank you for everything. - Jerry & Rhona, Montana, USA.

Tashi - Thank you for a wonderful trip and the opportunity to experience your beautiful country in a very personal way. - Nena Talcott, CA, USA.

Flawless execution of a well-planned trip that included everything we wanted to see. YANA was also extremely helpful and flexible in making changes due to weather and interest of group members. - Volker Schmidt, Utah, USA.

Bhutan has fulfilled all my dreams of a beautiful country, clean and pure. We have seen wonderful sights; snowcapped peaks to amazing architectures. Everywhere we have been we have met lovely people, kind and friendly. We have eaten delicious food in exciting locations. We have, in deed, felt like “honored guests” in your country and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the hard work, love and thought that you put into making it a wonderful holiday. Everything went like clockwork and couldn’t have been more enjoyable. - Velda Borrett, Cambridge, UK.

YANA provided top quality experience. The attention to detail was excellent and the extras we experienced were invaluable. - Denise Chard, AUSTRALIA.
