Trekking in Bhutan

The picturesque landscape, deep forest, high grazing lands and dotted settlements spread all over the Kingdom give you the very best trekking locale. Trekking in Bhutan is all about getting off the beaten track and into the most protected and amazing wilderness. The very few remote villages along the trekking trails give an exclusive insight into the rural culture of Bhutan. As the trails wind up and down the mountains, trekking in Bhutan calls for resolve and physical endurance but nothing can take away the breathtaking landscape or the scenic grandeur of the first rays of light hitting a Himalayan mountain. The spring and autumn seasons are the most favourable periods for trekking. 

Some of the popular treks are the Druk Path Trek between Thimphu and Paro, the Jhomolhari Trek and the Laya-Gasa Trek. The Snowman Trek is the most difficult trek in Bhutan and so far, very few people have completed this trek. The trekking-season will guide you on seasons, duration and difficulty levels of the treks. These exhilarating treks can be combined with cultural tours according to the taste and wishes of our guests. It can also be planned to coincide with various vibrant festivals around the kingdom.
