About Judy Tenzing

Historian, tour leader, writer and lecturer on India, the Himalayan region, Japan and Taiwan.

Born and bred in Sydney Judy reluctantly agreed to undertake an overland trip from Nepal to Europe when she was 20 years old. It was a journey which was to dictate the direction of her life, although at the time of setting out, the India section of the trip was something to be tolerated en route to the familiar cultures and histories of Europe and Britain.

However, on emerging from the plane at Kathmandu airport on a crisp and golden winter afternoon in 1976 everything changed. “I can still clearly recall that moment – the smell of wood smoke, the musty mountain air, the images of the early evening in that medieval city. My life changed completely from that moment onwards”.

What our travellers Say

Donna
Black Necked Crane Tour | November 2018
"Thank you for a wonderful journey through Bhutan, we loved every minute of it!"
Caroline
Blacked Necked Crane Tour, BHUTAN | November 2018
"Sitting here in the heat and bustle of impossible downtown Bangkok, in a hotel so tragically inferior to the glorious palace we stayed in last night, I do want to thank you for a most wonderful holiday. Your depth of understanding of the culture of Bhutan, and of course Sonam’s, made the whole trip an experience rather than a diversion. I shall definitely be coming again on one of your ‘journeys’, because I can’t imagine a better guide. ...….....What a brilliant country! If only the rest of the world could grasp what it is throwing away, by studying a country which actually THINKS first..."
Libby Hathorn
Jaipur Literature Festival | January 2019
"In so many ways our journey to Jaipur, India with you was life-changing. The eternal wonder of India, the energy of the Festival, the company of curious travellers, our way made not only easy, but special, by your thoughtful and varied tour! And for me a creative rush. In stolen moments my novel Asylum all but completed, and a poem created. Thankyou!"
