Satish is considerate of the environment and the importance of managing and developing tourism in in a sustainable way.



Satish organised an excellent tour for me. He is very considerate of the environment and the importance of managing and developing tourism in in a sustainable way.

Nous ne pouvons que le recommander, succès garanti.



Avec mon épouse, nous souhaitions faire un voyage assez "sur mesure". Nous avons envoyé notre "cahier des charges" par email à différentes agences locales et Satish de Yak and Yeti Travels a été le tout premier à nous répondre.
Son offre correspondait à 100% à notre demande et en plus son prix était le meilleur. Nous avons donc choisi de travailler avec lui et son agence, à notre grand bonheur car Satish est un homme très bien, très attentionné, aux petits soins, et en plus il connaît parfaitement son métier.

Nous ne pouvons que le recommander, succès garanti. Anne-Catherine et Yvan Flamant - Belgique

Sikkim Mountains by Sujoy Das

" Our moon was almost full.. the nearer snows were but faint and indistinct, while between their pale shadowy masses the whole peak of Kangchenjunga was fully illuminated as by a heavenly seachlight. The rock and ice were transfigured into a silver shrine, a visionary emblem of purity and aspiration. The worship of Kangchenjunga at that moment seemed very reasonable service." Round Kangchenjunga by Douglas Freshfield 1899.

A tour operator who resigned from his Government job to follow his dream to be a tour operator in the Himalayan State of  Sikkim is Satish Bardewa who is less active in tour packages (these days) but more focused in developing tourism skills amongst our Children in School and Colleges.

Born in Sikkim, grew up playing with nature and butterflies. After graduation I joined a as a Geography teacher in a remote village called Yuksam-which is also the first capital of Sikkim during 1641 AD. My interest in nature conservation and adventure tempted me to explore places and I decided to establish an adventure and leisure travel company in 1991. This company named Yak and Yeti Travels reflects the message of Himalayan people and its culture and lives on sharing the joy of exploration and our lasting happiness in conservation of our natural resources through the sustainable tourism in Sikkim.

Support sustainable tourism to help our local economy grow through tourism, help each other to learn and grow in a friendly and joyful manner is what I learned in my later years, also learned to help governmental policies for sustainable tourism growth and polish them through our experience and expertise. But to my priority learning it was to ensure maximum comfort and safety to our guest with available amenities and circumstances. In a nutshell…not to compete each other but to learn and share the experience from each other and to introduce Sikkim to the outside world by sharing and offering our rich cultural heritage, our way of life and simplicity of our thinking but not compromising with our service quality, guest comfort, environmental damage and our inability to handle the risk factor as an when it may arise.

Our action is oriented towards the International Understanding in mankind and global friendship through tourism and help bring peace to the world through a common understanding of our nature and culture of the Earth- the planet most of us have taken it for granted for being living and blessing planet. Its blessing because we all care for it, it dramatic because we all are indisputable part it, its beautiful because like us you care for it. We all share one home –the Earth- (the only living planet-which gives us life in different dimensions)- and the differences in our language, our custom, our tradition, our way of life and our thoughts and our technology is re-put to our Montessori times with the immortal magic of the Himalayas. Our Nature, Culture and Adventure will always live on with our sense of discovery, curiosity, analysis and judgment of adventure in ourselves.

This very feeling and inquisitiveness and sense of discovery in our team has helped us to meet different people from different parts of the world and the people we work with and with the people we meet in our organization is our “KARMA”. – (Basically explained in connection to the conduct of our former lives).

Our team has committed to be a part of your past and your present in global understanding of making but will you be having time to be a part of us is a bigger question today!
