Sonam Tshering Bhutia is the operation head and look after the office affairs of Wind Horse Tours of Sikkim, Darjeeling and Doars region. Under his supervision, the office was established in 2005 and after 2 years the office was relocated in Gangtok, Sikkim. This also reinforce our core ideal of having local partner. He is a partner and MD of the Sikkim and Darjeeling office.
He is originally from Darjeeling. He is also among those who started as a travel guide in 2007. Naturally, the attraction towards this trade, can largely be contributed to the place, Darjeeling itself. Hardly anyone can escape from its charms – majestic Mt Kanchenjunga, its colourful history, lush green tea garden imbibed an eternal love for this trade, and a desire to pass on this love to every one. As a guide he visited every nook and corner of the region and this is what stands in good stead when he takes the guests on tour to this region.
He has his schooling in Darjeeling and later he completed his Bachelor degree with Geography as major. To reaffirm his conviction and desire for travel trade he completed his Master in Tourism also.
What Our Guest Says about the guide

Dear Ugen, Jambay and team,
I prefer to give a personal comment (the links were indicated as perhaps insecure).
My husband and I were very pleased with the tour. We think the guide, Robin Gurung, was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to help our friend to get around which was not always easy. The driver, Mr. Dorje, as well is an excellent driver and was very helpful.
The planned itinerary was rather full. In retrospect we would have preferred some extra time to wander around or just relax and watch. If I would do the trip again, I’d rather skip the Sikkim/India part and that way gain more time to concentrate on Bhutan. Some days turned out rather tedious because they were spent being driven for hours. Overall our expectations were more than met: We enjoyed the country and its people and were very well treated by your team. We will retain a lasting and good memory. We would certainly come back to you for future trips. The guide and driver for Sikkim and Darjeeling, Sonam and Lakhba, were impeccable too. But, as said, we found the part in Bhutan was altogether most impressive.
Thanks a lot for organizing the tour so well and for having us assisted in every way.
