Overview
There is no better way to feel the heartbeat of a country than through trekking. You’ll come across hidden villages; have impromptu meetings with yak herders and the very finest views of the towering Himalayas.
Trekking in Bhutan is not always easy because of the elevation and length of some of the treks, so guests should be physically fit. You will be required to bring your own gear, including sleeping bags, however we will provide tents and sleeping pads. We offer a wide range of treks from easy to strenuous over varying periods of time. We can also create a custom trek to suite your specific needs.
For More Information on this Trek: Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have.
