Gilda Tang

Travelling is in my blood – I’ve always loved exploring new destinations and immersing myself in other cultures and places. My favourite destinations are always in the Himalayan mountain range, covering Bhutan, India, Nepal, China. There’s just something about these majestic peaks, wrapped in clouds and mystery, that has truly captured my heart.

Beyond mountains, I’m passionate about responsible travel. I am eager to contribute to creating positive impact around the world through travel and enjoy sharing my travel stories with anyone who’ll listen. After all – “Happiness is only real when shared.”

My most memorable trip: Tanzania

My trip to Tanzania was one of the most memorable moments of my life. The Great Migration is one of the most incredible and unforgettable sights. Seeing thousands of wildebeest and zebra traverse the landscapes and then actually cross the river was phenomenal.

On my bucket list: Central America

Central America is definitely on my list. From a vast amount of natural beauty to historic and colourful villages, Central American countries such as Costa Rica , Panama and Mexico have so much to offer. I’d love to experience the vibrant festivals, the towering waterfalls and mountains, and see the ancient ruins of Mayan cities.

My favourite trip: Hiking in the Himalaya

Staying true to my love for mountains, my favourite trip has to be Hiking in the Himalayas . This epic 14–day journey takes you from the hustle and bustle of Delhi to soaring mountain views among Sikkim’s fragrant pine forests.

My favourite hotel: Gangtey Lodge

My favourite hotel is Gangtey Lodge . Nestled in Bhutan’s pristine Gangtey Valley, the lodge provides breathtaking mountain views and a glimpse into local culture.

My top tips

• If you are an animal lover, bring a long lens to make the most of wildlife spotting in Borneo.
• ​T​o experience ​Agra’s Taj Maha​l without the crowds, ​start and arrive early, ideally for sunrise.
• Have fun trying the local street food in South East Asia. Many people are wary of street food, but it’s best way to eat like a local and sample a variety of flavours.
• When exploring temples, don’t get caught out by dress codes. Make sure you’re wearing modest clothing that covers your knees and shoulders and is respectful of the local culture.
