Home > Our Story

Bhutan Lhayul Tours and Travels was established by Mrs. Tshering Pem in 1999 when tourism in Bhutan was first privatized. Mrs. Tshering had worked in the Tourism Department in the Government since the 1980s and her in-depth knowledge about Bhutan and the tourism industry has been most beneficial in ensuring that she has been able to organize exemplary tours to Bhutan.
