Tika R. Basnet is the founder of Manifest Bhutan, a travel company rooted in authenticity and responsibility. A practicing lawyer in Bhutan, Basnet brings a deep understanding of the country’s legal, cultural, and social context to every aspect of the business. His legal background ensures that the company operates with clear ethical standards, regulatory compliance, and a strong commitment to transparency and detail.
Manifest Bhutan wasn’t created as a typical tour business. For Basnet, it’s a platform to share Bhutan as it is—unfiltered, respectful, and grounded in local realities. His goal is not just to offer luxury travel, but to create experiences that connect people with Bhutan’s values, particularly the principle of Gross National Happiness.
“Law teaches you how to listen, how to respect different perspectives, and how to do things the right way,” says Basnet. “That’s how we run Manifest Bhutan—by making sure every trip respects our guests, our communities, and our country.”
Under his leadership, Manifest Bhutan stands out for its integrity, cultural sensitivity, and a strong belief that travel should build genuine understanding—not just deliver checklists.
