Meet Your Local Bhutan Guides

Kuzu Zangpola!

Warmest Greetings from Bhutan!

We’re a dedicated team of local Bhutanese guides who live and breathe the spirit of the Land of the Thunder Dragon. With a deep passion for sharing our culture, heritage, and the natural wonders of Bhutan, we've had the honour of guiding over 6,800 groups over the past decade.

Our travellers often describe us as fun-loving, insightful, and always professional. Whether you're exploring ancient dzongs, hiking through pristine valleys, or attending a vibrant tshechu festival, we're here to make your journey effortless and unforgettable.

Navigating Bhutan’s rugged terrain is second nature to us. While digital maps are still catching up with our kingdom’s remote corners, our local knowledge ensures you’ll save time, avoid detours, and discover hidden gems only a seasoned Bhutanese guide would know.

We all speak fluent English, and within our team, we also offer guiding in Mandarin, Korean, French, Spanish, and more. No matter where you’re from, we’re here to make sure your time in Bhutan is full of genuine joy, laughter, and meaningful moments.

Let us show you the Bhutan we call home—beyond the guidebooks and straight from the heart.

James Hayward from Ireland

What an extraordinary trip we've just been on. Bhutan is simply unique, with a culture unsurpassed by anything that we have ever come across before. Thank you Druk Asia and Soul Trips for a simply wonderful trip. The itinerary you chose was a perfect balance between culture, activities, history, food, and the Bhutanese way of life but a special thanks must go to our wonderful guide, Chencho Lam and our driver Tshering.

What an amazing experience! Our guide Kinley has a wealth of knowledge about his culture and religion. Our driver Thinley is very skilful and I think I might have turned him into a birder. Their flexibility to suit our interests was very much appreciated. Thank you both again for such a wonderful week in a truly beautiful land.

I was so glad that I clicked on the tour tab when searching for flights and going into the DrukAir site. Firstly it made the process so much easier for flights and visa and tour plan all under one roof. The plan was well thought out - a typical tour plan I suppose, however, our guide Dorje was able to be flexible on what we saw on days in certain areas dependant upon weather, timing and potential busyness of an attraction. A lovely couple of hikes before the main one at Tiger's Nest to immerse into the countryside. Home visits and local meals has a wonderful charm. Definitely opt for the 3 star hotel option as it is more authentic and rustic on occasion. All hotels we stayed in had such friendly staff.

A quick response and a personalized proposal for a private tour with driver and guide in Bhutan, perfectly suited to our needs. Communication was efficient, and the trip was booked in just one week. Payment was easy via international bank transfer. We were provided with a dedicated online travel portal containing flight tickets, information, accommodation details, and planned visits. On-site, we had a lovely and truly attentive local driver, and an experienced guide who tailored the itinerary to our preferences, immersing us in both the ancient and contemporary local culture. We never travel on organized tours, but we were pleasantly surprised and highly recommend Druk Asia, true specialists in this little-known destination!

I was very lucky to have Tshewang and Sanjay (Soul Trip) as my guide and driver. She took care of my safety most importantly, catered to my meal preferences and never failed to order hot ginger honey to soothe my discomfort due to the high altitude curvy rides. For her eyes for details and years of experiences- the photos she took and stories and tales she narrated were National Geographic level! Bhutan not only put all natural goodness in one place, she also nurtured great Bhutan people ! Kudos Bhutan 🇧🇹
