Sonam Wangdi is a man of fine character whom my husband and I would trust in any guide situation. He has spent many years preparing himself through work and continuing education. We met him in 2004 when his Bhutanese company contracted with Geographic Expeditions to lead 13 of us for a three week trip in Bhutan. He was gentle, kind, always there when we needed him, serious, and devoted to doing a good job. Since then he has spent many years enhancing his education and working very hard. Our trip was so successful that several of the 13 members on that expedition have kept in contact, and I know I can speak for all in saying we were satisfied with his expertise and guidance. We wish him the very best! And we know you would find him an excellent guide.
