About Bhutan Wilderness

Your trusted partner for authentic Bhutan experiences since 2005

Our Story

A Passion for Sharing Bhutan

Bhutan Wilderness Travel was founded in 2005 by Kesang Tshering, a passionate Bhutanese who wanted to share the magic of his homeland with travelers from around the world. What began as a small operation has grown into one of Bhutan's most respected tour operators.

Unlike many tour companies, our founder invested years in obtaining international certifications, including training at the prestigious Exum Guides School in Wyoming, USA, and the International Mountain Leaders School in Switzerland. This commitment to excellence ensures that every traveler experiences Bhutan safely and authentically.

Based in Thimphu, the capital city, we have deep connections throughout Bhutan. Our team's local knowledge allows us to create experiences that go far beyond typical tourist itineraries, offering genuine cultural exchanges and access to hidden gems that most visitors never discover.

Our Mission

To provide transformative travel experiences that honor Bhutan's unique culture, preserve its pristine environment, and create meaningful connections between visitors and local communities.
