About me Hello,
I’m Kelzang Jigme a Cultural Tour Guide and started working with Druk Asia Tour and Trek and ABC since 2018.

I’m from Haa and currently I’m here in Haa only (doing farm work and helping my parents), I’m an energetic and ambitious tour guide who’s committed and very passionate. Neither I’m professional nor an excellent tour guide but I can handle my clients and can deal with any situation and won’t get complaints from any.

I did my course for Cultural Tour Guide but I know about trekking and can do it though I didn’t take course for it.
It’s sad that COVID-19 has affected the whole world and our country too, and especially it has affected the people working in tourism sector like tour operators, guides, drivers, hoteliers and etc.

But under the guidance of His Majesty the king, I didn’t face any problem and honored to be Bhutanese.
And to conclude, I’m very happy that government is reopening tourism and hoping for the best to come.
Thank you la.

From the get-go, my travel specialist, Ugyen Dema was very helpful. Ugyen replied to my emails promptly. I was very impressed with the service already. :)

When my fiancé and I arrived at Paro Airport, we were greeted by our guide Kelzang Jigme. After a minute walk, we met our driver, Penjor, and were excited for our journey in Bhutan to begin. As Penjor was driving, I was amazed by the beautiful landscape of Bhutan and was busy taking pictures in the van. Somehow, Penjor noticed that I couldn't get good shots so he kindly offered to stop several times so I could take good pictures. I was truly touched by his thoughtfulness. :)

 



Fast forward.. One day before our Tiger's Nest hike, Kelzang was so kind to tell my fiancé to wear shorts so it was easier to hike. However, since we were going inside of Tiger's Nest, my fiancé had to wear a long sleeve shirt and slacks. So, my fiancé had to bring a backpack to Tiger's Nest. On our hiking day, Kelzang offered to carry three umbrellas and my fiancé's backpack filled with a pair of jeans, a long sleeve shirt, and three bottles of water for us! We were so speechless by his kind offer. :)

In short, during our five-day journey in Bhutan, Kelzang and Penjor were a really good team. They asked us for feedback throughout. We let them decide and it all worked out for the best. Kelzang gave us important, salient information throughout our journey. Penjor was extremely good. Our rides were always smooth and pleasant. He was the best driver we have ever seen. Both Kelzang and Penjor made our Bhutan's trip so memorable. :)



Please go to Bhutan with these two awesome people. You will like them like we do. :)

Hello Sonam,

I just wanted to send an email regarding our trip. We had a fantastic time and could not be happier with both Jigme and Gimpu. They were both very professional and also relaxed when we asked them to be! It sounds like most of your guests are older, so we highly recommend pairing them with younger guests as they come.

We asked for restaurants to be changed (mostly to try real Bhutanese food instead of the hotel buffets), changed our itinerary, and to do Archery as an extra. They accommodated all of our requests with no issues. Archery should be offered to every guest, it was a highlight of our trip!!

Both Kevin, and myself were very happy with our tour and blown away at what Bhutan had to offer. With the help of Druk Asia, and Jigme and Gimpu we had a great visit.

Thanks again.
