In the serene town of Paro, tucked amidst Bhutan’s rolling hills, lies Norwangs Villa—a haven of hospitality known not just for its charm but for the warmth and dedication of its manager, Sangay Tenzin.
Sangay is more than just a manager; he’s a storyteller, an explorer, and a firm believer in the transformative power of fitness. Whether he’s greeting guests with a smile or indulging in his favorite sport of archery, his energy and enthusiasm are unmistakable.
“I believe staying fit helps me stay focused,” he shares, reflecting on his philosophy of balancing personal well-being with professional excellence. His mornings often begin with a run, a ritual he credits for instilling discipline and clarity in his life. “Running has been life-changing. It keeps me sharp, active, and ready to take on any challenge.”
But Sangay’s passion extends far beyond his fitness routine. For him, Norwangs Villa isn’t just a workplace; it’s a gateway to stories and connections. Whenever guests arrive, he takes it as an opportunity to show them the heart of Paro.
“I always ask guests if they’d like to take a walk around the villa and explore the nearby village,” he beams. “When they say yes, it makes my day. Walking through the village, sharing stories, and watching them immerse themselves in the beauty of this place—it’s deeply rewarding.”
His favorite moments? Watching the spark of curiosity in travelers’ eyes as they take in Paro’s hidden gems—be it a peaceful monastery, a farmer tending their fields, or the breathtaking vistas of the valley.
For Sangay, every interaction is a chance to create meaningful experiences. And it’s this belief, coupled with his zest for life, that makes Norwangs Villa not just a place to stay, but a place to feel truly connected.
As Sangay puts it, “When you’re fit, you’re not just better for yourself—you’re better for others. I’m grateful I get to live that truth every day, whether I’m running, managing, or simply walking with a guest through our village.”
So, the next time you’re at Norwangs Villa, don’t be surprised if Sangay invites you for a stroll. It’s not just about the walk—it’s about discovering the soul of Bhutan, one step at a time.
