Kuenzang
Predominatingly, tour executive or guide as a career option was a male dominated domain. However since last 2 decades, the girls have been foraying into this arena, maintaining a finer balance. Also it is seen that women principally specialises in culture and nature. However a few are venturing into rugged, weatherbeaten trails of trek and Kuenzang is among the few who leads the trek with as much elan as the culture. She says “Since childhood, the nature in its nascent form, mountains’ peaks, natural landscapes intrigues and fascinates her”
She did her schooling from Paro – her hometown. And felt that she should try business so she opted for business studies as a graduate course. However she soon realised that she was not cut out for business. The call of wild – the mountains peaks, the rustic trails, the nature was so overwhelming that she did, what came naturally to her – enlisted for guiding course.
Her first assignment as a guide was with Wind Horse Tours’s guests. And since then she is here and making a difference…..
What Our Guest Says about the guide
Leslie
Nov 12 -21, 2024Highlight of Bhutan for Leslie and Rob
Hello – just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful trip! We loved Bhutan and were so thankful for our excellent guides. We loved Zang and Kuenzang! They were fun to spend time with and taught us so much about Bhutan and Buddhism. We’re so thankful for them. Tashi was an amazing driver especially on the windy, scary roads – and also he was so helpful during our hike to Taktsang. I’m sorry I don’t remember our first driver’s name but he was lovely also. We also got to meet Namgay who was guiding a friend of ours at the time – he was also super friendly and helped us meet up with our friend in Paro. They all went out of their way to give us the best experience. They showed us so much – we felt really taken care of and that we got to see and learn so much. We hope to come back some day!
Tashi delek!
Leslie
