Hi, I am Gem from Gems Bhutan Travels.
Welcome and nice to meet you.
Before I founded my own company in 2012, I was a guide and trip leader for National Geographic Expeditions (GeoEx), USA and Yangphel Adventure Travel, Bhutan. While guiding for these two great companies, I met Mr. Thomas L. Brunner and Mrs. Kathleen N. Brunner from Massachusetts, USA and they generously invited me to attend a college in the US and I obtained a graduate’s degree.
Thereafter, I returned to Bhutan and started working for various international non-government organizations as well as in corporate sector. But being a very few lucky beneficiary of the tourism industry, there is always a special feeling of love for the industry.
In brief, I fully understand the needs of my valued clients when they visit Bhutan and we always ensure they have a trip of their life time.
Please feel free to call me by phone or by filling up the contact form. I am excited and look forward to working with you.
Thank you for stopping by.
Warm regards,
Gem Tshering

Bhutan - The Land of Hidden Kingdom
Bhutan is a country with an ancient culture and rich history. This mystical land, surrounded by some of the world's tallest mountains has been preserved for more than 2 thousand years through Tibetan Buddhism as well as its own unique style that remained almost entirely inaccessible to visitors due until 1974 when it opened up again after 50 years closed off from outside contact

What Our Clients Say
-
Roshan Massey, Boston, MA, USA
“ We were charmed by our greeting with Gem & his team at Paro airport. Instead of the one vehicle we expected, he gave us two vehicles, just so that our group could have more comfort & greater flexibility. The great experience continued from Paro to Thimpu to Punakha & culminated in the hike to Taktsang (Tigers) Nest. He threw in many unexpected extras. Gem is THE BEST & most honest tour operator in Bhutan. I'm going again with him in 2018 “

Judy, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
“ Last fall we took a tour of Bhutan with a group of friends that was organized by Gems Bhutan Travels. Our guides were amazing, friendly, helpful and always there for us. We did some wonderful hikes ( including to the Tigers Next Monastery) and visited temples and palaces. Everything, including our hotels and meals, was well planned and faultlessly executed by Gems. I highly recommended using Gems to visit Bhutan. “

Gem, his tour guides and drivers were informative, fun to be with, and proud to show us their beautiful country and culture, including a hike to The Tiger's Nest Monastery. Sherab was very attentive and anticipated our needs almost before we did. I highly recommend Gems Bhutan Travels. “
