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.

Anu Rama Krishnan from United Kingdom

We had a wonderful tour of Bhutan thanks to our guide Yongko Dorji and our driver Ugyen. They were very polite and professional and took a personal interest in making sure our trip was outstanding. Yongko is very knowledgeable and patiently answered all our questions. We learned so much about the culture of Bhutan and about Buddhism. Ugyen is an excellent driver and also a guide. We also want to thank Sangay for working with us on our itinerary and last minute changes. SoulTrips truly made this a memorable trip.

During my solo trip to Bhutan, I was fortunate to be paired with an outstanding guide and driver. Kinley Phuntsho, my guide, proved to be young and exceptionally helpful. Dawa Zop, my driver, skillfully maneuvered his trustworthy vehicle through various landscapes, ensuring a smooth ride while keeping the car immaculate and hydrated. Together, we forged lasting memories, enjoying meals and each other's company. I completed the 7-hour hike to the Tiger's Nest alongside Kinley, who exhibited remarkable patience and made certain that I reached the top.

Was an absolutely amazing trip planned by Sangay, taking into consideration what we liked and providing a seamless experience from ticket purchase to hotel upgrade and travel visa to assigning us the best guide, Chencho and best driver, Sonam who were always kind and attentive to us and went the extra mile to make this trip even more perfect for us. Bhutan welcomed us with genuine and sincere people who always had a smile on their faces. The nature views were unbeatable, and we learnt a lot about Bhutanese history, culture and beliefs through this 10-day trip. Strongly recommend!

Brinda Govindarajan from United Kingdom

I got in touch with Druk Asia about six months ago to plan our Bhutan trip to celebrate a dear friend’s 50th birthday with a group of us. Dema reached out to me and from then on she was our single point of contact. She guided us through the entire process, ensuring the trip was planned and executed seamlessly. Dema is highly knowledgeable, patient, polite, and incredibly responsive. She curated a perfect itinerary based on the time we had, worked within our budget and booked some wonderful properties for our stay, especially the Taj properties in Gangtey and Paro which were the highlight of our stay. She also arranged comfortable transport for our group of 11, ensured all meals were included while accommodating our dietary preferences and handled flight bookings and permits with ease.

Amazing 11-day, 10-night first solo trip to Bhutan with Druk Asia! Inez was a lifesaver with the itinerary and planning. My guide, Kinley, was exceptionally knowledgeable about the local culture and history, and he is a great trekking guide who made the trails feel safe and enjoyable. Sonam was an excellent and professional driver and made me feel very safe on the roads. As a solo traveler, I couldn't have asked for a better team. If you're going to Bhutan, look no further!

Sonam was super helpful and happy to answer any question quickly while organising our tour. When my friend and I got to Bhutan, Ugyen our tour guide was brilliant - everything ran smoothly and he was very knowledgable. When we wanted to alter the itinerary of our tour, this was no issue and wine tasting was organised as an excursion for us. The hotels included were of good quality and we learned so much. Thinley was a great driver too - would very happily use Druk Asia again if m ever lucky enough to visit Bhutan a second time!
