Bhutan Birding Tours

Our birding trip to Bhutan in 2012 was led by Chubzang Tangbi of Langur Eco Travels. He was an excellent leader and birder and he and his team of driver, cook and camp crew provided excellent logistical support. The nine nights in hotels were of a good comfortable standard and on the seven nights camping Langur Eco Travels provided comfortable tents, camp beds, sleeping bags, camp fires and hot water bottles when necessary, and a very ample kitchen offering tasty food in camp and in the field during birding. It was a nice size group and the camaraderie was excellent. Many thanks to Chubzang and Langur Eco Travels. The trip will be difficult to match.”

My wife and I were part of a birding group organised by a uk firm, with Langur as the local agents who provided all the logistics plus guiding. As we were part of a group we had overnights in hotels but also had a catering team that provided cooked breakfasts and lunches out in the field. The hotels and guest houses were good and the catering team were excellent and very friendly. Even though they were sleeping in tents out in the fields they would have a steaming hot breakfast ready for us when we arrived and then move on to a new site to lay on an excellent lunch!

Our guide, Chubzang, was very knowledgeable and found us many birds including some quite rare endemics.

I have been on birding trips to many counties all over the world and this trip was one of my favourites!

Chubzang Tangbi worked with Indus Films in 2008 on our TV project for BBC, A Year In Bhutan, researching, setting up programme content and travelling to Bhutan on location with the TV crew. Chubzang is a very agreeable, diligent and reliable person to have on a team. He showed a great deal of initiative and contributed substantially to both the location shoot and to the content of our programme. We enjoyed working with Chubzang and would highly recommend him to other visitors to Bhutan.
