"Thank you so much for all your efforts putting this trip together. It was everything I had hoped for. It was a fabulous group of dynamic, interesting people. The yoga with Sal Flynn was wonderful and Bhutan ..... well what can I say?!! It is still a relatively unspoilt destination and we had such an authentic experience. The local Bhutanese people are friendly and we all felt very safe with our drivers. The guides were so knowledgeable and speak perfect English (even getting all our jokes) .They couldn’t do enough to help us and the camaraderie amongst them made us feel very relaxed as they laughed a lot, smiled and chatted amongst themselves the whole way. I think I’ll become one of your “groupies” and come to your next retreat too!"

"Our Bhutan adventure was a fantastic immersion of yoga, beautiful environment and great people. Sal Flynn was an excellent leader and very supportive throughout the whole journey along with the guides and drivers keeping us all safe and on schedule. With the comfortable accommodation and a wonderful choice of food, it was difficult to return home. There were many highlights of the trip and in particular the pilgrimage to the Taktsang Monastery (Tigers Nest) was at the top of the list! Thank you Enlightened Events for a journey filled with many happy memories and cherished friendships."

"We had a wonderful Bhutan experience. This " jewel" of a country is breathtaking in every way. The people are friendly and quietly give so much, the guides are extremely knowledgeable about absolutely everything and have a great sense of humour and sensitivity. Our accommodation was excellent. Words fail me as far as the culture and traditions go. And above and beyond all of that is that indescribable " Mystical aura" about this place that seems to be in and around everything and everyone. We are incredibly grateful and feel very lucky. The trip was fantastic and surpassed our anticipation. What a luxury to finish off at the Zhiwa ling hotel. The hospitality was amazing. Overall I can't fault my Bhutan experience, from the moment I contacted Trina at Enlightened Events I felt assured that I had made the right decision and that I was in professional hands. This was a trip of a lifetime. One which I will treasure and certainly recommend to others. I hope Bhutan does not extend out into the world too quickly and keeps its mysticism and that special something I have not found anywhere else."
