Bhutan Customized Tours and Trips

Traveling has been my passion for a long time and I have always loved exploring new places. I have visited several places in my home country, Nepal, and over 30 other countries! Adventure is another of my passions, and in following this I have gone skydiving, scuba diving, and paragliding in many different countries. I was an adventure tour guide myself for a couple of years, and during that period, I was able to explore the spectacular Himalayas of Nepal. I have a master’s degree in development studies from the largest university in Nepal, and I currently operate a tour company in Kathmandu. I love being a part of this highly-rated (and loved by our customers) adventure tour operator! As a tour operator, I work to produce perfect tour programs for our customers worldwide. I love designing new holiday itineraries and suggesting them to customers according to their needs, interests and preferences.

I am from the country of the Himalayas — Nepal. I grew up in a remote village in the Gorkha district and from an early age, I had a keen interest in traveling to different places. Once I completed my schooling, I set off trekking the famous destinations in Nepal including Everest Base Camp, Gokyo Valley, Langtang, Annapurna Base Camp, Annapurna Circuit, Upper Mustang, Poonhill, Mardi Himal, Manaslu and many others. I love traveling around the mountains and interacting with the cultures and lifestyles of different regions. The more I trek, the more I feel like going back to the mountains. A tour operator by profession, I joined my company at the beginning of 2014 to help other people find the best destinations in Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan. It's my pleasure to assist people and to share with them the spectacular views of the mountains, the amazing wildlife and the unique heritage, cultures, and traditions of Nepal.

I grew up in a tiny little village northeast of Kathmandu. The village is on the traditional route to Mount Everest, where Sir Edmund Hillary would have passed by on his epic 1953 journey. There is something about being born in the high Himalayas that keeps the traditional lifestyle and culture of the remote lands of Nepal very close to my heart. When I was young, there was no secondary school in my village, so I would walk three hours every day just to go to school. At the time, I didn’t know that walking is also called ‘trekking’. Walking several hours every day, hiking up and down in the hilly region of Nepal was just a normal daily activity for me. Because there were not many educated people in my village, our school employed teachers from different parts of Nepal. I had an opportunity to learn about their home villages, which made me keen to visit and explore different parts of Nepal. After I came to Kathmandu to continue my studies, I started a career in travel and trekking. I started as just a trekking porter and guide, and now I have my own business! I would be pleased to help you plan a memorable holiday in my beautiful country.

My name is Lokesh Gurung and I have been working in the travel industry for the past 7 years, helping travelers from all around the world plan trips to Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet. My educational background is in commerce and management, but the allure of travel pulled me into this industry. Aside from travel, I love to read and watch movies. Everest is my favorite place to visit, and where I first had the awe-inspiring experience of walking among the Himalayan giants. Here I realized where I stand in the grand scheme of things. I love to help others by planning and organizing their trips. For many people, coming to Nepal is literally their once-in-a-lifetime dream trip. Seeing clients have unforgettable experiences and make amazing lifelong memories motivates me to be here.

I was born in Khatri Gaun, Nepal, and spent my early years in my village until I moved to Kathmandu in 1998 to pursue further education. There, I completed a Bachelor's degree in Humanities, specializing in Culture and Tourism. My career in the tourism industry, especially trekking, began in 2001 as a trekking porter and office assistant. I gained valuable experience working as a porter for 3+ years, leading to a role as an assistant guide. I then spent 13 years as a lead guide, traversing the breathtaking Himalayas of Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan. In 2017, I took a significant step and established my own company, which I own and operate today, providing excellent service to tourists visiting both easily accessible areas and remote wilderness. This venture allows me to share my passion for the alluring Himalayas and my extensive knowledge of the region with adventurers from around the world. I've had the opportunity to visit several countries, including Tibet, China, India, Hong Kong, Japan, and various countries in Europe. These experiences have broadened my horizon and perspective, enhancing my ability to connect with groups of travelers from different geographical and cultural backgrounds.

My name is Sujan and I was born in Gorkha, Nepal. I developed an interest in tourism from a young age and began my career in this field in 2002. I have a master’s degree in business management and am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in tourism. My hobbies include hiking, trekking, climbing, participating in various sports, and watching movies. I have a passion for traveling and enjoy helping others plan and book their trips. I love that the tourism industry is a growing sector of the global economy, providing jobs and income for millions of people, while also playing a role in preserving natural and cultural heritage sites and promoting sustainable development. I believe that travel can be an exciting and enriching experience for people as it allows them to experience new cultures, landscapes, and ways of life. It can also be an opportunity for personal growth, self-discovery, and broadening understanding of the world.

Hi and welcome to Nepal, the land of eight of the world's highest mountains! I am John Shrestha, a travel entrepreneur as well as an explorer, and I would love to take you to the awesome and iconic corners of Nepal and Bhutan. It is my pleasure to welcome you to such a beautiful place that people across the world want to visit. Before I stepped into all the famous trekking regions of Nepal 10 years ago, I worked for a non-profit social organization. I wanted to become familiar with the social issues of people who needed love and compassion. Looking at their needs, I realized that I must do something to help. So, I set up a trekking agency to earn revenue to help people. I had worked before as a freelance trekking guide and some of the people I worked with became my motivators and encouraged me to open a trekking agency. I have a passion for travel and I love nature. I have traveled with people coming from around the world and I gained experience in organizing treks as well as in preparing itineraries. I love meeting people who come from different cultures. I am also a travel photographer and in my free time, I like to do marketing for my company. The rest of the time, I am a full-time trekking guide, certified by the Tourism Board of Nepal.

Hello, I'm Suzeena. Born and raised on the sun-drenched islands of the Maldives, the ocean wasn't just my view it was my way of life. Growing up surrounded by turquoise waters and warm island smiles, I learned early that the world is beautiful, and connection is everything. At 19, I jumped into tourism, sharing my little paradise with travelers from everywhere. But something unexpected happened the more I showed others my home, the more I wanted to see theirs. That curiosity became my compass. By 30, I've explored over 25 countries, each one adding a new layer to my understanding of the world. From the rugged, untamed landscapes of Central Asia's five "Stans" to the ancient temples and vibrant street-food scenes of Southeast Asia, and from the charming cobblestone villages of Europe to the dynamic, pulse-pounding energy of its great cities. Every journey taught me something new about culture, resilience, and the shared humanity that binds us all. Today, I channel all that experience into crafting unforgettable journeys for travelers like you. Whether you're dreaming of the silk-road splendor of Uzbekistan, the mystical temples of Cambodia, the vibrant chaos of Bangkok, the futuristic streets of Seoul, the endless horizons of Mongolia, or the overwater serenity of my Maldives home, I've got you covered. So consider me your go-to guide, your insider, your travel bestie who's already been there, done that, and can't wait to help you do it too. Because the world is big, but with the right person by your side, it feels a whole lot smaller and a whole lot more magical. Let's turn your travel dreams into memories.

I grew up in Guilin, China — a city where mountains greet you at the door and rivers flow past your window. That kind of childhood planted an early curiosity in me about the world beyond. As a child, I often tagged along when my father's foreign friends came to visit. I loved showing them my favourite places and explaining the world I lived in, recommending things to see and do. I thought of them as part of the family, and that is really where it began. My interest in tourism goes far beyond a job description — it is a passion. I love what I do and I do what I love. I also studied for it, so that the passion rests on solid professional ground. In 2004, I officially entered the travel industry as an English-speaking local guide, leading travellers from around the world across China. I later worked as a national escort guide and an outbound tour leader, covering more than 100 Chinese cities and taking groups to Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States. In those years I was both a storyteller and a listener. Every tour reaffirmed one truth: the most beautiful part of travel is rarely the scenery itself — it is the people you meet and the moments you share along the way.

I am a passionate foodie and a devoted ocean-lover, and I have always been drawn to laid-back tropical coastlines. Wide ocean views, soft sand, warm and welcoming locals, ripe tropical fruit and seafood pulled from the water that morning — they never fail to win me over. Add affordable everyday prices and low travel costs, and these coastal places become the kind of paradise I never tire of exploring. There is endless charm hidden in unfamiliar countries. Every street, every local custom, every regional snack feels brand new. I love discovering things I haven't seen before and making friends with people from completely different backgrounds — that, more than anything, is why I travel. I have carried out extensive on-site inspections and field trips across Southeast Asia. Within China, my expertise lies in the west of the country. I take great pleasure in designing slow, immersive itineraries, and I spend a lot of my time hunting down family-run eateries and local food spots that don't appear in guidebooks, so that every traveller I work with eats properly.

I grew up in Buli, a small and remote village in the Zhemgang district, Bhutan. Since I was a kid, I have loved hiking and exploring; I used to tag along with my big brother and explore ancient walking trails, picking up pine cones for the fire and collecting herbs for my grandmother’s incense. Mountains have always brought a sense of joy and peace to my heart, and, after completing my studies, I trained as a guide so I could show Bhutan to visitors through the eyes of a local. I am now a certified guide for both cultural and trekking tours and have been leading exclusive treks and tours for the past 20 years, sometimes as a guide and other times as a tour leader. I am fluent in English, Hindi, Nepali and Dzongkha. I am also a freelance trainer for young enthusiastic trekking guides at the Institute of Professional Studies. Sometimes I just accompany my students and explore new hiking trails. I love showing guests my homeland world of Himalayan peaks, grasslands and remote pastures, entertaining them with folk stories along the way.
