Why Trek with Yak Adventure Travel??

YAK is Extraordinary, both as an animal of the formidable Himalayan ranges and as the symbol of Bhutan’s leading Trekking & Tour Company. That’s us: Yak Adventure Travel.
Established in 2003, we are a Bhutan Trekking company licensed by the Tourism Council of Bhutan, an autonomous body which oversees the tourism industry. The company is a member of the Association of Bhutanese Tour Operators.
YAK is powerful, beautiful, and sublime. And so are the services we provide. We have a track record of excellence in the industry because we work hard, value our guests and their sensibilities, and assure hundred percent reliability at all times.
We at YAK Adventure Travel strictly adhere to the tenets of responsible tourism and ensure that there is adequate economic benefit for local people from your visit to our beautiful country. We arrange tours and treks in ways that enhance the wellbeing of host communities. We make positive contributions to the conservation of natural and cultural heritage.
YAK Adventure Travel is Extraordinary, because we provide more enjoyable experiences for tourists through meaningful connections with local people, and a greater understanding of local cultural, social and environmental issues. We minimize negative economic, environmental and social impacts.
YAK Adventure Travel is the only Bhutan Trekking & Tour Company to be nominated for the Ashoka Change Makers’ Award Competition organized by the National Geographic Society in 2007 & 2008 for educating and creating awareness amongst the travelers of the unique nomadic lifestyle prevalent in the mountains, and for upholding local laws governing culture and environmental preservation practices.
YAK did so by encouraging travelers to purchase and utilize materials available locally thereby creating an outlet for the locals for their produce without imposing any demand for imported commodities.
What makes YAK distinct from other travel companies is that the owner and managers of the company know about the country very well. We are uniquely positioned to provide unrivalled services in the industry. We have experience, discipline, and passion. And we have wisdom. All this goes on to enrich your visit to Bhutan, be it a cultural tour or a tough trek through the rugged terrains of the country.
At YAK, we do not design the tour itinerary for you. We provide the details of places and things that could of interest to you, and the itinerary is developed in consultation with you.
YAK specializes in tour packages that enable its guests to experience real Bhutan, those untouched, pure and untainted corners of the country where life is what it exactly was many years ago.
YAK is Extraordinary, because it is owned by a social entrepreneur, a giant of a man who whose ambition and persistence fuels the YAK. Sithar Golay relishes the unblemished satisfaction of his guests. For him tourism is about uniting conservation, communities, and sustainable travel.
At YAK Adventure Travel, Tourism is not Business; It is a Way of Life.
