Bhutan is a truly magical place. My visit was a remarkable experience. The private tour was exceptional and exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended!
My first trip to India was sensational! James was outstanding in setting me up and organising my itinerary and all arrangements. I appreciated his experience, friendly manner, attention to detail... read more and responsiveness. I was pleased to share my travels with such a wonderful guide and driver. The accommodation was great - I particularly loved staying at Ranthambore and Ramathra. The list of highlights – people, colour, culture, architecture and design, safaris, food and refreshments, nature, gardens, innovations, traditions, unique observations and much more. Every day and every experience were different. The app is fab. This was my third trip with Bhutan and Beyond, having visited Bhutan twice – all brilliant. As a solo traveller, I find it to be the perfect way to travel – action-packed, but relaxing. I highly recommend Bhutan and Beyond and hope to return for more travel. Thank you, James and Nicole!
Hi James Just settling in back home after our fabulous holiday in India and Bhutan. We have done the Himalayas several times but Bhutan was another level. Thank-you for such a... read more well organised trip with the options of moving things to suit our requirements. Our guide Bhim, was very knowledgeable and nothing was a problem.

James was amazing - took care of everything - even aspects of our trip that were not related to Bhutan itself. James is hugely knowledgeable about Bhutan, and a... read more very nice chap to boot. All we had to do was show up! Highly recommended+++
I have recently returned from a two week trip to Rajasthan, Delhi and Agra organised by James Irving of Bhutan & Beyond over a period of several years due to... read more Covid cancellations. We were a group of ten friends. James's organisational skills and attention to detail are superb. Hotels were of a very high standard and our local agency and guide, Bharat, went the extra mile to ensure the smooth running of the trip. Our transport was a comfortable air-conditioned coach which allowed us plenty of room to spread out. The driver and porter were both great. Activities included several early morning hikes to local temples, a leopard safari (we saw one!), a cooking demonstration, camel riding, pottery demonstration, Hindu blessing ceremonies, weaving demonstration, jeep rides and an incredible stepwell dinner in Narlai. I have now travelled with Bhutan & Beyond on several occasions and cannot recommend them highly enough. If you're heading to India, Bhutan or Nepal - give James a call.
