It was a boundless love for adventure and wild places that led Tsheten, after graduation, to embark on a career in tourism. Over the course of an exciting career as a tour leader, Tsheten traveled to every nook and corner of the country. During this time, he earned a scholarship to pursue postgraduate studies in Tourism Management in Austria. Upon his return, he steadily climbed the managerial ladder, becoming well versed in the intricacies of operations and policies within the travel industry. After more than a decade of experience, Tsheten was driven to share his passion and travel experiences with others in a more authentic and meaningful way. Thus, Bhutan Travel Guru was born. Bhutan Travel Guru is his life’s work, and he takes a personal interest in closely monitoring each and every trip himself.

Driven by a passion for travel, Yeshi became a guide after graduation. Although he was initially trained as a cultural and trekking guide, he later specialized as a birding guide. His love for birding was sparked during one of his trips when he met a birding enthusiast, and he has been involved in bird-related work ever since. Today, he is well known in birding circles for his excellent birding guiding skills.

Born in the isolated nomadic village of Sakteng in northeastern Bhutan, bordering Tibet and Tawang in India, Sonam has trekking in his blood.

In 2011, he made history by leading a team of Indian women, headed by Ms. Bachendri Pal—the first Indian woman to summit Mount Everest—on the epic 24-day Snowman Trek. When not on the trail, Sonam can often be seen enjoying Bhutan’s traditional archery game.
