Exception service from Guide Tashi and Driver Sonam. Life long memory and Bhutan will forever be in my heart!
The service from Guide(Tashi Yangchen) and the driver(Sonam Penjor) has certainly made my trip memorable. Tashi is caring and knowledgable despite being relatively junior to the industry. She’s passionate about her work and keen to share the stories behind each Buddha masters/ Scholar, the temple, fortress etc, and help translating my questions to the local monk/ care taker and the answer, which helps me understand the rich culture in Bhutan. Not to mention she has taken good care of me during the Bumdra trek when the weather was terrible. Sonam is a very good driver and know the route inside out and he’s very careful when driving. I also considered him as my second guide where he explained the practice/ culture from his home town which is different from Tashi, and further enrich my understanding of this beautiful nation. Both Tashi and Sonam also respect my preference to connect with the locals and embrace the local culture (e.g. during Paro Tshechu). They will maintain a safe distance from me such that I can interact with local kids, elderly which made the trip more memorable and long lasting. Bhutan surely will have a profound impact on my life and how I see things going forward!
