Our sweet-natured but immensely capable Country Coordinator, Yeshey Wangchuk (right; below), has led some of the most challenging and exciting journeys for us.

Yeshey is well-connected in Bhutan and his family members include current and former government and civil service figures and generations of respected farmers and cultivators in western Bhutan. Gracefully efficient, Yeshey combines effortless Buddhist grace with an unflappable sense of direction, which is the influence of his guardian, His Eminence "Laytshog Lopen" ( the chief administrator of monasteries) Lama Sangay Dorji, who is one of the highest-ranked Buddhist abbots in the country.

From arranging special entries to remote monasteries to securing our seats on the limited number of flights to Bhutan to smoothing over logistics feathers, Yeshey does it all, only ever revealing the very broadest of smiles!

Speaking from personal experience, traveling with Yeshey makes everyone want to be a better person!
