Why Us?
Our Journey : From a Family's Love for Bhutan to Omba Travel
The story of Omba Travels is deeply intertwined with our family’s love for Bhutan—a love that has been passed down through generations, rooted in the breathtaking landscapes, vibrant traditions, and the simple yet profound way of life that defines our homeland.
A Heritage of Hospitality
Growing up in a remote village in eastern Bhutan, our family always held a deep reverence for our land and its people. We were taught that every guest is a blessing, bringing joy and prosperity to our home. This belief wasn’t just a tradition; it was a way of life. Our parents and grandparents would often host travelers, offering them warmth, stories, and a taste of Bhutanese culture, treating each visitor as an extended member of our family.
A Dream Takes Shape
As we grew older and moved to different parts of the country, this passion for sharing Bhutan’s beauty with others only grew stronger. We witnessed the awe in the eyes of travelers as they experienced Bhutan’s untouched nature, the serenity of its monasteries, and the richness of its festivals. We realized that Bhutan had so much to offer to the world, and we wanted to be the ones to guide people through its wonders, not just as tour operators, but as storytellers and custodians of our heritage.
The Birth of Omba Travels
Driven by this shared vision, our family decided to turn our passion into a business that could allow others to experience Bhutan as we see it—through the eyes of locals who know its hidden gems, its best-kept secrets, and its most sacred traditions. And so, Omba Travels was born.
From the start, we wanted Omba Travels to be more than just a travel agency. We envisioned it as a bridge between cultures, where travelers could immerse themselves in the true essence of Bhutan. Whether it’s trekking through remote mountain trails, participating in traditional rituals, or simply sharing a meal with a local family, our goal has always been to create moments that resonate with the soul.
Crafting Authentic Experiences
Today, Omba Travels is a reflection of our family’s commitment to offering authentic and unforgettable experiences. Every journey we craft is infused with our personal touch and our deep respect for Bhutan’s natural and cultural treasures. We believe in sustainable tourism, ensuring that our tours benefit local communities and preserve the environment for future generations.
As a family, we continue to be driven by the same values that our ancestors instilled in us—kindness, hospitality, and a profound love for our homeland. Through Omba Travels, we invite you to become a part of our story, to explore Bhutan not just as a tourist, but as a cherished guest in our home.
