Yeshi Penjor
One of the guest fondly remarked ” Yeshey Penjor may be short in stature but he walks real tall in term of dedication, knowledge and the way he carries and does his work” Except perhaps during the nightmare at night, he wear his smile almost all the time. His soft spokenness and demeanour make him most sought after guide for guests travelling with kids. He gel with kids like as any good adhesive and impress the adults with his profound knowledge on subjects and his conduct.
For over 5 years he has been leading guests with panache and authority both culture and trekking. But he jumped gleefully into when he is assigned to do the trek. For his love for lush natural amphitheatre of vegetation and wildlife date back to growing days in far flung village in Mongar ( Eastern Bhutan).
He make up his lack of interest for sport with serious hiking. The best place to find him over weekend or free time is at camping hotspot within the vicinity of Thimphu.

16 -21, Jan, 2020 Rating:We now have to say that Bhutan is our favorite country to visit in the world, much is because of our experience with fabulous company: Wind horse tours, treks, and expeditions. We were graciously met at the Paro airport by our guide, Yeshi and driver, Dawa. We spent five incredible days with these guys touring Social cities and beautiful countryside including villages and monasteries. We even got to have lunch at a private home which was delicious and unique. We spent the first afternoon and evening in Thimphu. Hotel Druk was wonderful and we were Jeanette to catch the local

Drukyul Walking Tour, Fall 2019 Boston, USA Trip Date:
10 - 22 Nov, 2019 Rating:It is with great pleasure that I write this testimonial. I have been doing adventure travel for over thirty years and while I have been to the Himalayas several times this was my first time in Bhutan. I am happy to say, the concept of Gross National Happiness indeed exists and I have been lucky enough to experience it. My walking trip to Bhutan ranks in the top three of my adventure trips. Yeshi, our guide, and Amber our driver, are simply the best of the best. I look forward to returning to Bhutan when the rhodedendron are in full

The food was really delicious and the service fantastic.

Nabji Trek and Tour USA Trip Date:
Feb 21 -March 04, 2019 Rating:In mid Febuary into early March; we were a group of 11. (10:1 women to men, ages 39->71yrs.). Along with 3 male guides from Wind Horse Tour and Trek. Some of us were picked up at the airport in Guwahati, by Yeshi. He saw us before we saw him! As a group, we all walked into Bhutan by way of Gelephu. What a stark difference between the chaos and pollution of India to the calm and relative clean of Bhutan. My favorite part of our adventure was the trek; although the rest of the trip was amazing and beautiful as well.

Feb 21 -March 04,2019 Rating:Some highlights that were possible because of the flexibility & willingness of Pema, Yeshe & Gudu.Visiting with village people especially the first camping night when they came down to our bonfire at dinner & we celebrated together a birthday of one of our group. One woman made her a scarf, 3 young girls choreographed a few dances to Bhutanese music. Chef made a bday cake. It was very festive & wonderful. The lovely tents having been set up, in all of our camping nights was a blessing & accommodations were way more sophisticated than expected. In another village we were all invited

A Peaceable Kingdom Toronto, Canada Trip Date:
07 -12, Oct,2018 Rating:The mountains, rivers, forests and rice fields are beautiful and all considered to be alive and intelligent in Bhutan culture. The monasteries, Dzongs and markets are fascinating. But is the kindness and generous hearts of the Bhutanese people that made my trip so pleasant. In particular, the patience and kindness of Yeshi and Chimi, my guide and driver, that make the experience more wonderful than I could expect from any tour company.

15 -20 May,2018 Rating:Thank you for your mail. We have just arrived in Germany after visiting friend in Delhi for a few more days. The trip was amazing and just what we were looking for.

The driver always drove carefully and fully concentrated while the guide was very knowledgeable, flexible and provided just the right amount of information. Personally we enjoyed Bhutan a lot. It is a really nice country. Our highlights were the tiger nest (obviously I

Window to Bhutan – April 2018 Poland Trip Date:
14 -20, April, 2018 Rating:Thank you for your email and apologies for the late reply. I am traveling and I am not checking my emails very often. The trip was very interesting. Buthan is a beautiful country. My guide was very knowledgeable and also a nice person to talk to. Also the driver was really good. I was surprised that I was not feeling bad even once, considering how curvy roads are. I must admit though that I was a bit disappointed and at times frustrated with the program. I think that 0.5 day in Thimphu and 1 day in Paro would be enough (I spent

Bhutan Tour with Trek – April, 2018 UK Trip Date:
23 - 07 April, 2018 Rating:Sorry it's taken me awhile to get back to you, I've been rather busy writing and doing book layouts. My trip was great thank you. I thought you matched my guide with me very well. Yeshi and I got on great. The first driver I had till my trek was great too. However I'm sure you've heard about the young driver I had from Gasa to Phobjika valley! He was literally dangerous! I'm not a nervous person at all and I tried joking first en route and then as it continued I I started to be more firm. I'm aware that Bhutanese do
