“His father took him as a pilgrim to Mt Kailash when he was a child and I don’t know anyone who knows this region better than he does. That’s why he has been my companion for decades, not only on tours in Tibet and Nepal but throughout the Tibetan Buddhist Himalaya. Besides hi his mother tongue, Tibetan and his official language Nepali, he is also fluent in Hindi and English. He has excellent connections, the right knowledge, and the hospitality inherent in the people of the Himalaya.”

“I met Yangjor on my first trip to the Himalaya. As a girl from the Canary islands, I had not even seen the snow before and the journey was challenging to say the least. I was impressed about how caring and supportive he was. I have chosen him as my fixer in most of my trips. He is one of the reasons why I always want to come back. ”
