About Us
Our story, mission, and the passionate team behind We Go Authentic
Our Story
We Go Authentic was founded with a simple yet powerful mission: to give travelers a genuine experience of Bhutan, beyond the typical tourist trails.
Our journey began in 2023 when Manoj and Veera met on a trekking expedition. Bonding over their shared passion for authentic travel, they were struck by how many visitors were confined to generic itineraries that lacked real cultural connection. Determined to change this, they set out to create something different—a travel company built on authenticity, community engagement, and sustainability.
Since welcoming our first travelers in 2024, we've grown organically through word-of-mouth from those who appreciate our honest approach, fair pricing, and deep respect for Bhutan's traditions. Though we're a small team, our mission is big: to redefine how people experience the Land of the Thunder Dragon—one meaningful journey at a time.
Our Mission
We believe travel should benefit both visitors and the communities they visit. Our mission is three-fold:
Create Authentic Experiences
We design every itinerary to provide a genuine experience of Bhutan's culture, traditions, and natural beauty—far beyond the typical tourist trail.
Support Local Communities
By working directly with Bhutanese guides, drivers, homestays, and artisans, we ensure tourism benefits reach the local communities rather than middlemen.
Promote Sustainable Travel
We're committed to responsible tourism practices that preserve Bhutan's pristine environment and unique cultural heritage for future generations.
