Jigme Tshering

Director

Jigme has been meaningfully involved with the Tourism Industry for more than 23 years. About 17 years ago, Jigme began to research and plan the operation of his own company, but long before that, he worked as a highly-regarded tour guide, tour leader, and manager for other prominent tour companies in Bhutan.

Jigme has explored every nook and cranny of field research and cultural tours, and he has done all the treks in Bhutan with groups of all nationalities. He has completed the Snowman Trek four times with his guests, most recently in 2019. Jigme is still happy to go as a guide whenever he gets the time to share the best of Bhutan with his guests. He makes sure to provide them with the best value because he believes that the guests always come first. Jigme’s motto is that each person should be treated “as a guest not as a tourist.”
