Ugen Tshering

Ugen Tshering is the co-founder of Wind Horse Tours. In cold wintry night of 1997, over a log fire in lawn of hotel in Thimphu, along with other guides, the seed of Wind Horse Tours was first sown, and in 1998, it came to life. By that time, as a guide, Ugen had traversed not only nook and corners of Bhutan, but as Tour Leader and Guide, he also also led several trips in southeast Asia, China and central Asia.  He spent several years living and travelling in India and Nepal.

He attended his school in Bhutan and went to USA to pursue further Studies. He has also lived for a short time in Netherlands and UK. The lighter story goes that he was bitten by travel bug when he was a kid. The travel exuberance and to seek the unknown was the driving force that took him to places. After Montana and New York city, in 2001, he relocated himself with his family to Minneapolis in USA and set up Wind Horse US office  With time his wanderlust hasn’t diminished, he still travels extensively. And visits Nepal, India and Bhutan to take stock of changes that the places have seen.

He came through ranks, with modest beginning as guide, and with time in any trade comes the experience. And this is what sets him apart from the rest. His insights and knowledge is what makes a difference when he frames an itinerary.
