Default What tour operator in Bhutan?

Hi guys. I'm thinking of hitting Bhutan on my RTW trip, but I'm having a hard time picking a tour operator. I've been talking to someone at GoldenFish Travels, who is the representative to Yak Adventure Travel in Bhutan. Is anybody familiar with either of these organizations? Any other tips?

Thanks

I haven't been to Bhutan, but a long time in Nepal. And I know the tourism business of this part of the world very well.

Are they a local agency ? If not, you'll pay too much for this trip, that is anyway excruciately expensive.

Most of Indian and Nepalese agencies also organise trips to Bhutan. So they, and of course Bhutanese agencies as well, would be a better choice. Tourism agencies there are a jungle. To be sure of the quality and price, in the case noone here provides you with an agency name, pick any that was referred by a guide book (india, nepal, bhutan).

When are you going ?

Thanks for the quick reply. All tour companies have to be Bhutan based, and all charge more or less the same amount (the government mandated minimum) unless you want to go high-end.
