Silver
Dragon Tours and Treks (SDTT) is one of the few
successful tour companies which was started with a
genuine interest on the part of the management to
give all the guests, who come through SDTT, a true
Bhutanese experience and holiday.
Apart from the proprietor, Palden Tshewang, who has
a vast experience as a travel guide for 12 years, SDTT has numerous skilled, knowledgeable and
friendly ready-to-serve guides and assistants.
Palden visited the United States in the summer of
2001 to partake in further guide training. On his
month long trip his training included wilderness
trekking and camping in the Colorado Rockies, an
introduction to rock climbing, and trekking and
traveling in the dessert. These opportunities
allowed him to learn further develop his wilderness
and trekking skills while having a chance to learn
about the places where our clients live and
recreate. An invaluable skill in the field. Also
during his month long trip Palden had the
opportunity to partake in a whitewater kayak and
inflatable raft course. To complete his trip he also
was introduced to First Aid.
To further his guide training in the summer of 2005
Palden joined seasoned guide and author of “Trekking
in Tibet” Gary McCue on a month long trek to the
Everest’s East Face, the Kangshung. Mr. McCue is the
authority on trekking in Tibet. Palden’s travels in
Tibet with Gary allowed him to be first handedly be
trained by and one of the most experienced trip
leaders in all of Nepal and Tibet.
Palden Tshewang has trekked and accompanied trekkers
through all the 20 trekking routes in the kingdom
from relatively easier Samtengang Trek to the
formidable Snowman Trek. He also has hand-on
experiences of all the popular tourist destination
in the country.
The company offers the best of accommodations at the
department of tourism recognized hotels and luxury
lodges at all the destinations.
We assure our guests a complete satisfaction and
tour-worthiness during their stay in Bhutan under
our guidance. |
