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 a great country to visit and it was enhanced by going with g adventures as we could cover alot of ground in a short amount of time.
