" Ugyen guided us with a deep knowledge not only of his country’s history, but also seemed to be on a first-name basis with most of the citizens. He had spent the first part of his life as a monk, and was still greeted warmly at the monasteries we visited. He introduced us to abbots and we were warmly welcomed wherever we went." READ MORE

Ugyen Wangchuk, who I met on an extraordinary and constantly evolving journey for the Financial Times last week, immediately placed into my top three guides of all time. His range of knowledge, across nature, religion, myth, history and culture, runs very deep. It emerges naturally and gently. " READ MORE
