Trekking

Trekking in Bhutan is a unique experience unlike many of the more crowded treks offered in Asia. The variety of treks range from a simple three-day trek from the district of Thimphu to Paro (and vice versa) to the 25-day legendary snow man treks through some of most exquisite spots in the country. The snow man trek also labels the most toughest trek as it goes over 12 mountains passes, all of them over 4,500 meter.

On your trek you will pass through small communities several days walk away from the nearest road where life has changed little over the generations. On trek one will see the amazing amount of forest that covers the major portion of Bhutanese land. More that 70% of the land is under forest cover.

Trek in Bhutan takes you though dense mixed forest of Oak, Wild Peach, Bamboo, Rhododendron, magnolia, Azelea, Blue pine, Chir pine, cypress and fir.

All most all the treks offers a combination of natural discovery and an insight into the country’s delicate and unique daily life. Many of the trails take walkers past remote and ancient monasteries. The trails pass grasslands and pastures for livestock and grazing animals. Trekker often gets to spot blue sheep, Takin and variety of bird life including the wild pheasants. Bhutan’s treks are also famous for the majestic views of the Himalayan peaks that provide a sense of awe and wonder and a point of contemplation for trekkers along the way. One of them is the Jhomolhari trek where life ticks to a different time. The Bumthang trek is cultural trek which takes you through villages and heritages sites in the valleys.
