Testimonials

  • Bhutan

    Muriel, thank you for arranging such a great trip for us. Everything was terrific and first class. Bhutan was indeed a special place. The tranquility was quite a contrast to the chaos of India. Our biggest surprise was the quality of the hotels. The Gangtey Lodge ranks among the best we've ever stayed in. It truly provided us with memories for a lifetime. Hope our paths cross again.

  • Bhutan & Thailand

    Visiting Bhutan was like going back in time and into a world we had never experienced before. The vistas were spectacular, the cultural experiences were stimulating, and the time with family spent in the clear mountain air was invigorating. We feasted on delicious local cuisine and stayed at the most beautiful properties arranged by Askari Travel. They always hit the mark in finding places that offer healthy options, environmental stewardship, relaxed elegance, and exceptional customer service.
