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.

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.

My experience with Druk Air was amazing! Even on a short flight, they offer a sandwich, juice, cookies, and other snacks. The crew is extremely polite and the plane is very clean. The views during the flight were absolutely spectacular. We were able to see Mount Everest from the window, making it one of the most beautiful flights I’ve ever taken. I definitely recommend it!

Excellent experience from start to finish. The service was very good, the staff was attentive, and the flights were smooth. The trip to Bhutan is already a special experience, and having a well-prepared airline made everything even better. I recommend it to anyone planning to visit this incredible country.

Zinc Tang from Singapore

I had wanted to visit Bhutan for years. It took me a while to finally decide, and it was just a few days before the trip. Searching for inner peace, my request was for a guide who is well versed in Buddhism. The experience was customized for me to attend an evening prayer at a monastery, and to me that session was precious and impactful with the whole hall of monks chanted in unison. Kinley Yongko, my guide, more than impressed me with his extensive knowledge and memory, explaining to me history of Buddhism in Bhutan and the different schools, meanings of the paintings in Dzongs, monasteries and temples.

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!
