THE TEAM

 

Since the summer of 2013, a wonderful group of people has made various efforts to help Jigmet improve his health. Each contributing in his own way, the project would not have been as successful without their help. Special thanks goes out to Rigzin Dolkar & her sister Phuntsog Angmo. Their effort, expertise and devotion are truly admirable.

He lives in Choglamsar village, 8 km from Leh, with his wife and two children. Tashi started the Nomadic Way Travel & Tours in 1997, which makes his agency one of the oldest in town.
