5 Days Unforgettable Bhutan Tour
I was planning a tour to Bhutan &I came across with this website, Third Rock Adventures. I reviewed the itinerary & I am loving it! I told my friend & she is up for adventure. Pretty much everything are arranged by them & when we arrived from Bhutan Airport, little that we know, our guide & driver, Rinchen and Dorji will be the BEST team ever to assigned for us! We were lucky to have them as our guides! Rinchen is knowledgeable, professional, accommodating, always lok after our well being & funny. Never a dull moment. And Dorji always helpful with our luggage also, make sure that we are hydrated &funny too! Our hike to Tigers Nest was eventful. Since both me & my friend are asthmatic, Rinchen & Dorji always checking on us, always reminding us to breath. Dorji did a great job taking care my friend & lend his arm to assist her during our hike. He never left her side. Same goes with Rinchen, our guide. He never rush us. Both these gentlemen made our vacation a very memorable, fun, safe & total awesomeness!!!

Wonderful Nepal and Bhutan Experience
Could not have been happier with my experience with Third Rock Adventures. From our initial inquiry to our goodbye dinner, Naba and his entire crew were exceptionally friendly, organized, knowledgeable and attentive to our every need! Our Bhutan guide Dorji and driver Yeshey were exceptional. Our tour with them provided so much interesting information on Bhutanese and Buddhist culture we thought our heads would explode but everything was done on an interesting and engaging way. I couldn’t recommend this duo more!! We now consider them friends!!! The tour included a good mix of learning and experiential experiences that kept the your lively. Something new around every corner!!! Our Nepal guide, Jaya was also very knowledgeable and engaging. He shared his passion for the culture , religions, and indigenous people and I believe we got a unique perspective on Katmandhu!! Ram our driver expertly navigated the crazy streets of the city like a pro. My highest praises and recommendations for using Third Rock. Call Naba. You wont regret it

An Unforgettable Journey Through Bhutan
I spent an extraordinary week in Bhutan as a solo traveler thanks to my exceptional guide, Rinchen Dorji, and driver, Pem. Rinchen is incredibly historian, professional, accommodating, and kind. Each day, he ensured all my needs were met while sharing the rich history and wisdom behind every site we visited. Pem is a highly skilled driver who navigated the often narrow, winding mountain roads with care and confidence. Together, they are a magic pair who made my Bhutanese experience truly unforgettable. I highly recommend booking through Third Rock and requesting Rinchen as your guide and Pem as your driver—you won’t regret it!
