Senior Tour Guide

About me I’m originally from Trashiyangtse in eastern Bhutan. After earning a degree in Political Science, I followed my love for nature, photography, and storytelling into guiding. Since starting as an assistant guide in 2005 and becoming a full-time tour guide in 2010, I’ve spent over 15 years sharing Bhutan’s breathtaking landscapes, cultural richness, and biodiversity with travellers from around the world. I underwent rigorous certification in Bhutanese history, traditions, sacred sites, and natural wonders, complemented by hands‑on mentorship in guiding skills. I tailor each journey to spark curiosity and connection, weaving together immersive stories and moments of discovery that reflect Bhutan’s essence.
