About Us

Your trusted Bhutanese travel partner. We bring the magic of the Thunder Dragon Kingdom to life.

Who We Are

Born in Bhutan, Sharing Our Home with the World

Based in Thimphu, Byways Tours and Travels was born from our deep love for our homeland and a desire to share its magic with travelers from around the world. As native Bhutanese, we offer authentic insights into our country's rich culture, ancient traditions, and pristine natural beauty.

We are fully licensed by the Department of Tourism (DoT) and committed to Bhutan's philosophy of "High Value, Low Volume" tourism. Every journey we craft supports local communities, preserves our cultural heritage, and protects our pristine environment for future generations.

Our team of experienced guides, many of whom grew up in remote villages across Bhutan, bring unparalleled knowledge of hidden trails, sacred sites, and local customs. We don't just show you Bhutan - we invite you into our home.
