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.

Shariene from Singapore

Embarked on an amazing journey to Bhutan. Was blessed with Chockie Wangchuk as a guide, and Tshering Wangchuk as a driver. Chockie was an amazing knowledgable guide who shared such detailed and rich details on Bhutan’s history. Tshering was also a very skilled driver, and the journey was very smooth and safe throughout the 7 days that I was there. Will most certainly go with Druk Asia again, when I make another trip to Bhutan. Well done Chockie and Tshering!

Amazing 9-day trip to Bhutan as a solo traveller. Not going to Bhutan as part of a big group but on my own and therefore putting more budget for the trip was absolutely the right choice for me. My guide (female) and driver (male) were amazing and some of my favorite moments were our times together eating and drinking. I loved learning more about the Bhutanese culture, history and Buddhism every single day. It's those kind of trips that you wish never has to stop! Druk Asia was also wonderful in helping be book and organize my trip and it was very smooth! I hope to come again soon!

I had a precious and amazing time in Bhutan, a country which has been on my bucket list for a long time. I’m blessed with Tashi (guide) and Mr Amazing Khuks (driver). Both of them were warm and friendly from the get-go and we were matched in terms of frequency. They took great care of me, even making sure that I get to try one fruit per day in Bhutan! Tashi - an extremely earnest guide who is really genuine, knowledgeable and resourceful. He patiently explained to me the history and background of every place we visited. He is always fighting to carry my small backpack for me, which wasn’t heavy at all. He carried my tripod up the Tiger’s Nest hike for me, just so that the photography enthusiast in me could capture nice sceneries.

I have been very fortunate regarding the fact that I have been able to take many trips in my life. I have however never left a trip with the same feeling of satisfaction, amazement, and gratefulness as I have with this one. Bhutan is truly a special place and I was lucky to get given the two best guides I could have asked for, Dorji and Thinley.

From the very early planning stages, and all throughout the creation of our trip Sanjay Dorji at Druk Asia made sure that my dream of visiting Bhutan would be a reality. His patience and responsiveness made it seemless and stressfree. But our guide Kinley with Soul Trips made it an experience I wil carry in my heart forever. The 10 days were filed with cultural visits and hikes that immersed into the rich local life and instantly made us feel at home even thogh we were half way around the world. We had so much fun with KInley and our driver Denchen and every day was exactly what how we wanted it to be. Kinley's patience with our endless questions, his knowledge of birding, culture and experience resulted in the most incredible 10 days of my life. Bhutan is such an amazing country, and could be a bit bewildering to a foreigner without a good guide, There are other companies offering tours but I picked druk Asia/Soul Trips and it was the right choice. This short trip met and exceeded all of my expectations.

I had a memorable experience with SoulTrips on my maiden journey to Bhutan. From the very beginning, I appreciated the prompt replies and fuss-free arrangements by Mr Sangay which gave me confidence even before the journey began. As a solo traveller, I truly appreciated how my guide, Chencho Lham, was attentive, thoughtful, and flexible. She adapted the itinerary to suit my travel style, giving me the freedom to slow down, linger and experience Bhutan at my own pace. It made the journey feel deeply personal and enriching. A special mention also goes to my driver, Mr Sonam, whose skilful and careful driving made me feel safe and at ease throughout Bhutan's winding mountain roads.
