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.

Irene Vivi from Indonesia

Bhutan has always been on my bucket list since forever, so I'm grateful that DrukAsia made this trip not only memorable, but truly unforgettable. Everyone was very responsive, helpful, and attentive throughout the process. The itinerary was also great and thoughtfully planned. I want to give a special shoutout to my guide and driver, Tashi and Acho Tandin, who went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and that all my needs were taken care of throughout the trip. They made this trip even more special. 10/10 would recommend.

Albert Li from Australia

It was a deeply meaningful trip for our family. Bhutan has been on our “bucket list” and we wanted to share this experience with our 10 year old son. Sonam was exceptional in his patience and flexibility when helping us plan and execute our trip. Upon arrival, Lhendrup (Guide) was deeply knowledgeable and was always on hand to help us, none more evident that the tricky descent from Taktsang (Tigers Nest) with our son, he was literally hanging on to our son on the slippery descent. Leki is an amazingly safe driver, windy and tricky roads were gently circumnavigated around. All in all, we had a great time, shame it wasn’t longer. Highly recommended.

Pamela Anne from Singapore

Was taken care of very well in Bhutan by my guide and very warm driver who was very knowledgeable about world events as well. They accommodated my slight change of plans & were patient with my pace of trekking, climbing & concerned w my safety as I am 67. Driver noticed my motion sickness though I was trying to suppress it and drove smoothly at winding bends, making stops to help me feel better. Bhutan still retains its traditional culture & charm - definitely worth visiting with DrukAir.

Kai from Singapore

From the guides and driver to the various accommodations, I am truly thankful for the care and effort put into the arrangements. I would especially like to commend the following people: First and foremost, my guide, Bijay Ghalley. Bijay has always been thoughtful and attentive throughout the trip, and he often went out of his way to make sure I was well taken care of. He even helped coordinate a birthday celebration for me, which I really appreciated.Beyond that, I genuinely enjoyed visiting the different places in Bhutan with him. Whether it was visiting dzongs and shrines or trekking, I enjoyed listening to him share his knowledge and stories about Bhutan. He made the experience much more meaningful.

Thayná Arten from Brazil

I had an incredible experience with SoulTrips, especially with our guide, Tshewang Dema, and our driver, Thinley Dorji. Before the trip, I was honestly a little nervous about paying USD 1,500 to a company without a physical office in Nepal. However, I decided to take the risk because the sales representative was excellent, very professional, and gave me all the space I needed to think about the decision without any pressure. Once we arrived, Tshewang and Thinley were absolutely wonderful. They were warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and made us feel at home from the very beginning. Tshewang explained everything very well, and both of them went above and beyond to make our experience special.

Sarra Ong from Malaysia

I had a truly wonderful and memorable journey to Bhutan from 26–30 August 2026. Even though it was only a 5D4N trip, it was packed with beautiful experiences and unforgettable memories, all thoughtfully organised by Mr Sangay. Bhutan is simply breathtaking. There were so many “wow” moments, especially the spectacular mountains, valleys and landscapes along the way. Every turn seemed to offer another beautiful view, and I found myself constantly stopping to admire the scenery and take photos. The hotels selected by Mr Sangay were also very good and suited the journey well. I was comfortable throughout my stay and really appreciated the thoughtful choices.
