Trekking in Bhutan

Trekking in Bhutan is adventurous and unique. It can range from an easy 3 days to a strenuous 25-day trek through the Himalayas. The moment you begin your trek, you will be free from the sounds of urban life that you left behind. As you get off the beaten path, you will enjoy views of snow-capped peaks, alpine serenity, densely forested hillsides, fertile river valleys, and the sounds of birds and gushing streams that flow down from the melting snow of the Himalayan peaks. Trekking provides an unparalleled opportunity to understand the real spirit of Bhutan. Meeting with people in far-flung villages provides insight into the rural culture of the kingdom. You can easily feel you are in previously unexplored territory, as trekking takes you through remote forests with scattered, tiny settlements, and then out onto the high alpine grazing lands of nomadic yak herders. It’s still a curiosity for isolated villagers to see trekkers – the inhabitants will stare and – with open and friendly faces – will greet you along the trails.
