Chimi Rinzin

Chimi Rinzin hails from a quaint village in far eastern region of Mongar. And it is adequately reflected on the way he carries himself -soft spoken with gentle demeanour. But when it comes to his driving, he is altogether a different person. He is focused, patience and fiercely guards the driving decorum. He is stickler for cleanliness. Looking for strains or specks of uncleanliness in the vehicle is like proverbial looking for needle in haystack.

He started working for Wind Horse Tours in Thimphu from 2009. And guests always have good words for him for his conducts and driving.

  Just a short note from the departure lounge of Paro airport. We had the most memorable time in Bhutan and we are glad we chose this beautiful country for our silver jubilee. Both Yonten and Chimi were wonderful hosts; caring, thoughtful and cheerful; they are a credit to your organisation. For sure, we shall be recommending Windhorse to all our friends and family. Best regards, Sreenath and Swarna.

  Amazing moments – walking down the Rinpung Dzong (Paro) Gahanna, USA Trip Date:
  Oct 12-16, 2015 Rating:

  A handwritten note by the Lisa, who travelled with us from Oct 12- 16, 2016. A gesture she felt necesaary to put it in words before the moments becomes inexplicable. It was 5 days tour, but the moments she landed in Paro, she instantly felt connected with place, people and pristine nature. Largely, one aspects that stand out was the stellar role played by Yonten (Guide). The most amazing moments for her was walking down the Rinpung Dzong with perfect natural setting will linger forever in her memory. Lisa came as a guest and departed as a family. Even for

  TID - 8663 - Bhutan Walking Tour We booked a walking tour with Wind Horse Tours. We were met at the airport by our guide, Leki, and driver, Chimi. It was a private tour, so we spent 2 weeks with just the two of them. They were both incredible ambassadors of Wind Horse and Bhutan. They made us feel like family instead of tourists. Our walking tour of Bhutan was breathtaking. The land is beautiful and the Bhutanese are the warmest and friendliest people we have ever met. We absolutely loved our experiences in Bhutan, and a great deal of the credit

  TID 8628 (March 31- April 14,2015) The guide - Dechen Duba Hello Anand, It is now more than a month since we finished our trip with Wind Horse.  It was truly the best trip we've had in a very long time and one we've been hoping to take since the mid-80s.  I know the places we visited are places that many tourists see; however, Duba, our guide, introduced the places in an understandable and relevant way.  Chimmie, our driver, kept us safe on the roads and managed the blocks so as to minimize the time we had to spend waiting for road

• I very much enjoyed the entire trip. The Tiger’s Nest was definitely the highlight of the trip. Georgia, USA Trip Date:
  April 19-24, 2015 Rating:

  TID - 8736 (April 19-24,2015) Guide - Pema  Our guide, Pema, and our driver Chimmi were both very good. They were both professional, helpful and pleasant. I very much enjoyed the entire trip. The Tiger's Nest was definitely the highlight of the trip. My one criticism would be of the food. It wasn't bad, but it was always basically the same buffet. More opportunities to experience some different variety outside of a hotel restaurant buffet would have been nice.

  Grand Cultural Tour for Lemonick TID: 786 (March 16 - 26,2014) The trip was amazing--ideal in every way. We're planning to post very positive reviews everywhere we can think of, but I wanted to locate the paper where I wrote down Namgay and Chimi's names so I can mention them personally. The itinerary was great, the country and culture and people were every bit as welcoming and fascinating and beautiful as we'd hoped, and our guide and driver were simply outstanding.
