Ugyen Tenzin

Specialize in Cultural Guide, Trekking Guide

A political science graduate, Ugyen Tenzin has an intense passion for the flora and fauna of Bhutan and a specialist guide for travelers interested all things green, birds and mammals.

Originally hailed from Eastern Bhutan, Ugyen settles in the outskirts of Thimphu with his wife and son. When not guiding,  he spends his off-days tending to his plot filled with apple trees, broccoli, spinach, potatoes, asparagus,  herbs and a brood of chickens. The family’s farm is just a stone throw from the Renewable Natural Resources Research Centre of Bhutan, and the staff at the center had been instrumental in letting Ugyen learn about organic farming and continuing his search for knowledge about his pristine environment.

Ugyen joined Druk Asia in 2009  and had completed the Jomolhari trek thrice and Snowman Trek, the longest trek in Bhutan, once since.

Amazing and Unforgettable Experience



It was such an amazing and unforgettable experience, with warm hospitality from both our guide (Kinely Tshering) and driver (Namgyel). Undoubtedly the best guide and driver we have had. Caring, attentive, accommodating, and warm. Very grateful for the friendships forged on the trip. Also thankful to Drukasia for the arrangements and seamless coordination. It was an expensive trip with daily fees, but definitely worth the experience. The vast landscapes of Bhutan, the peace, the simplicity, the carefreeness, the culture, and the values of Bhutanese. We felt the connection, and we left Bhutan knowing that we would definitely go back someday again.

Amazing Trip To The Beautiful, Mystical Country



First of all I would like to thank you for helping us arrange a trip that in the end becomes one of the most memorable trip for each and every one of us. I think we exchanged almost 100 emails from my very first query until the day we left for Bhutan. Lots of trivial questions and change of plan. But I always get prompt and helpful replies as well as some good advice.
The trip itself is amazing and beyond our expectation. Bhutan is very pure, peaceful and serene. Very different from the busy and crowded city we come from. The hotel and transportation are all good and comfortable.
But actually the highlight of our trip is Ugyen Tenzin and Penjor (spelling might be incorrect), our guide and driver who have become good companions and friends during our trip. Ugyen is very attentive, helpful,
