Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptual difference of entrepreneurs towards the entrepreneurial environment in Bhutan. Seven factors are identified on basis of the framework developed by Gnyawali and Fogel and 114 entrepreneurs' perception of these factors is measured with the help of a primary survey conducted on entrepreneurs in Bhutan. Results revealed that the financial assistance and government policies and procedures were rated as poor entrepreneurial environments. In a comparative study, import policies were more favourable for agro and forest-based sectors. Females perceived less family and social support when choosing entrepreneurship as a career.
