Trekkers in Bhutan experience something different. Unlike anywhere else in the Himalayas, the treks are arduous and long. But the crystal air and views that defy description complement the treks. Not many tourists trek each year, though the number is increasing. Further, paths and communications may not be as developed as they are in other Himalayas destinations.
However, other facilities offered for trekkers makes up for what Bhutan lacks. A trained guide who will answer everything you ask, a chef and other logistics staff will accompany you. It will be a real experience as you walk along the trials listening to the bells hanging from yaks and horses.
At strategic points, support crew or the advance party will welcome you.
All meals are carefully planned and freshly cooked.
You might face altitude sickness, which is an acute problem for trekkers in Bhutan. As most of the designated treks are higher than 3000metres (9000 feet), trekkers should take precautions before planning a trek. Trekking permits are required for all parties.
Whether you want to trek for a day or weeks depends on you. We offer you Treks varying from short three-day walks across relatively low altitudes to the three-week snowman trek that covers 356 kilometers, taking you to three of the Kingdom’s highest passes. There are also routes such as the Thimphu-Paro trek (Called the Druk Path) for inexperienced trekkers.
