Abstract
The paradigm shift in natural resource management in the country entails a shift in the planning process. The participatory multi-stakeholder planning process is one of the accepted planning tools recently being used in the preparation of integrated watershed management plans in Bhutan. It is recognised that such planning processes are essential for the development of an efficient and sustainable watershed management plan. It is being implemented in the Radhi and Lingmutey Chhu watersheds. In this study, the reasons for using multi-stakeholder processes and the steps followed during implementation of the watershed management plan will be highlighted. It is a tedious process but it is inevitable for planning holistic watershed management.
