I will use this to talk about something that I thought wasn't done well. This is only my second GAdventures trip so I am not that familiar with it. I travelled as a solo traveler both times, and both times I wanted and expected a single room.

Bhutan is an incredible country and hasn’t been tarnished by western tourism. It’s an amazing country and full of amazing people in a place that is proud of its culture. G put on an incredible tour and I would highly recommend it.
