Sonam Wangmo is the founder of Yu-Druk. Among the earliest companies in the country to provide travel related services, Yu-Druk was established in the year 1985. In a country dominated by male players, Sonam Wangmo was one of the first Bhutanese women to take up the challenges of life as a business entrepreneur – a dramatic departure from being a housewife. In its formative days, Yu Druk began its journey as an airline-ticketing agent, mostly catering to Bhutanese and international officials travelling abroad.
The Kingdom of Bhutan is a landlocked nation in South Asia, located at the eastern end of the Himalaya Mountains and is bordered to the south, east and west by the Republic of India and to the north by Tibet. Bhutan is separated from Nepal by the Indian state of Sikkim. The Bhutanese call their country Druk Yul which means “Land of the Thunder Dragon”.
Bhutan used to be one of the most isolated nations in the world, but developments including direct international flights, internet, mobile phone networks, and cable television have increasingly opened the doors.
Yet, Bhutan has balanced modernization with its ancient culture and traditions under the guiding philosophy of Gross National Happiness (GNH). Rampant destruction of the environment has been avoided.
The government takes great measures to preserve the nation’s traditional culture, identity and the environment. Accordingly, in 2006 Business Week rated Bhutan the happiest country in Asia and the eighth happiest country.
