  Mukesh & Team Hope you are doing well. Prateek and I just got back from our trip to Bhutan. I just wanted to let you know we had a great time – thanks very much for your help! The guide, Sangay and driver, Pasang, were excellent and very helpful – especially by being flexible to include things like the Tiger's Nest hike, that weren't on the original itinerary. Please pass along our compliments to your partner agency in Bhutan as well. It was a phenomenal experience, and once again, thank you!
