Karen MacRae 's Top Trips

I was so impressed with the depth of Karen's knowledge about Bhutan. From our first phone conversation, I could practically picture the mountainside temples and Buddhist monks, and I'm happy to say the trip itself exceeded the vision. It felt like we weren't just visiting the place, but were fully integrated into its unique culture. An absolutely unforgettable experience.
