Wangchuk Tsering Fargo grew up in the village of Nurla like generations before him amidst fields of barley and apricot orchards and grazing livestock. His grandfather Tsering Chospel occasionally worked as a guide to intrepid travellers to Ladakh in the early nineteenth century when Wangchuk grew up listening to fascinating stories and after Ladakh was opened up to tourists, he set up Fargo Travels in 1978. Fargo Travels continues to be one of the oldest travel companies in Ladakh with a worldwide following showcasing the culture of Ladakh to curious travellers.
