Namgay

Growth in Tourism in Bhutan has also its share of impact on young minds. With tourists freely moving around, the curiosities to know them, talk to them holds ground firmly on young minds . Namgay is one among many youth whose imagination was captured by razzmatazz of tourism.

He has his career goal  cut out, he could have easily opted for some comfortable desk jobs, after passing out in flying colours from prestigious St Joseph college Darjeeling in 2010 but he chose to pursue his dream, he loved to be in field, among the guests, so it was only matter of time to enroll for guiding course.

His first foray into job was in 2013 at Wind Horse Tours and still he is going great guns. Feed Backs from guests that he led are great testimonial to his dedication.

He prodigiously read books that open up new frontiers and interaction with guests coupled with sound command of English takes his outlook towards learning and experiences altogether to different height.

  It's taken me almost 2 months to post but finally the day has arrived! With my guide Namgay and driver Jigme, I had a wonderful 2-week trip in Bhutan (last half of Oct., 2019). (Last year I did the Jomolhari trek.) This year's trip was a custom tour, with some trekking (Owl trek), lots of hiking (thank you, Namgay, for finding great trails no matter where we were, always surprising me that you knew of yet another one, and tailoring all hikes to my wishes), lots of driving since we visited remote areas of Eastern Bhutan (thank you Jigme for

  Hi Ugen, I’m so glad that you were in Bhutan while we were there.  Everyone was happy to meet you and have the opportunity to talk about Bhutan. Your tour was terrific, you planned it perfectly.  We know that problems might arise on any tour but we were lucky and everything went well.  Even the weather cooperated. It was forecasted that we would have rain almost every day but it was hardly a problem at all. Namgay mentioned that Wind Horse gets top reviews for the tours but rates low on the food.  I think the quality of the food is very good

  I had a great trip and truly enjoyed our time in Bhutan – so much that I am missing it already😊. Yes there was quite heavy snowfall on our second day but otherwise the weather was perfect and we always had clear views on the Himalayan mountain ranges, so weather served us rather well. The ice and snow restricted us in doing some parts of the planned program though, but we felt Namgay did very well in coming up with alternatives. Namgay and Sonam were both excellent, we couldn’t have been happier with having the two of them as our

  Overall the trip in Bhutan was very good and at times excellent. We have summarised our feedback below: Itinerary The itinerary was what we had planned with you and it was overall more than hoped for, given the limitations of being a visitor in Bhutan. We found staying places two nights or more allowed time to experience Bhutan better and worked well. The mixture of day walking and visiting lhakhangs and dzongs/museums/textile or other crafts etc was a good balance. Owl trek was a lovely trek, all three days; it’s altitude limited exploration at 12,000 feet was too rapid acclimatisation for myself. We were

  Amazing trip in Bhutan. Starting off with Bas who put together an itinerary to meet my requirements. My guide Namgay Dorji was fun and informative and I could not have felt more safer on those mountain roads with a driver like Dhanbir. An experience where the memories will stay with me forever. I’ll definitely be coming back.

  I apologize for the gap in time it has taken me to send you feedback. Bhutan is a place I will hold dear in my heart for the rest of my life. When people ask me about my experience in Bhutan I have to say "You just have to go there." Our "Above the Clouds" trek was an amazing experience.  First and foremost, our guide, Namgay was an expert in so many areas, including English and many other languages and dialects.  Aside from being a fit trekker, he was extremely knowledgeable about birds and their calls, native flora and fauna, the geography

  I loved almost everything about our trek.   Our guide, Namgye, was fantastic.    He answered all of our questions, instructed us skillfully through the trekking, had a great feel for guiding each one of us individually as well as guiding us as a group.   The cook, Mon, made delicious and nutritious meals and allowed me to watch him cook.   His momos were fantastic.   All the assistants were helpful and so kind.    The pony masters were also talented and so fun! However, I would recommend getting new mats.   The mats were pretty thin.   I’d recommend

  Dear Anand, Thank you for checking in with me about the trip.  I have been meaning to write reviews for Tripadvisor, but there is so much in my mind I haven't been able to get it done yet. The trip was a peak experience of my life.  My daughters (plus one boyfriend) and I loved it.  Namgyel was an exceptionally good guide and he took great care of us every day.  The trekking staff was excellent, especially the food service.  The tents were very good in spite of difficult weather most days.  I think the itinerary Windhorse prepared was perfect for our

  Hi Anand, I really enjoyed my trip quite a lot. Namgay and Yamay were both terrific. And the support team at Wind Horse was really great and answered all my questions. My only feedback would be that perhaps you should add a version of the trip that includes more hiking. It’s a lot of sightseeing and the day could have been broken up a bit with more walking/hiking/etc. We got back to the hotels quite early and in some of places there isn’t much to do. A lot of people I am sure enjoy the rest and relaxation but others may appreciate
