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!
