TREKKING IN BHUTAN

It is no doubt Bhutan would be a good experience for those who love treking. Trekings can be more complet if planned during Tshechus  (Local festival season or when the rhododendron blooms) and also add Paro and Thimphu to your trip. March to May and September to November are the most favourable time for the trekers in Bhutan but a week treking is kept at least by a trek lovers. Trekking is the best opportunity to meet rural people on high alpine meadows, scattered villages, ancient forest and fortresses.

As per the rule of The Royal Government of Bhutan all trek must be arranged as a camping trips for the very reason of few settlements in the mountains where you cannot think of any lodge and hotels.

We arrange trekking ranging from a day or to a month and even longer as desired by our client. Most of the trek routes are the traditional trade routes passing through remote villages in high mountains and low valleys. Some routes are comparatively easy such as a day trek from Gogona to Khotokha.  Others are medium like 6 days like Druk Path Trek (Paro -Thimphu). The toughest are like Snowman Trek (one of the hardest in the world). There are beautiful trek routes like the Thousand Lakes trek with beautiful lakes along the path.

Our well experienced guides who have explored all these trekking routes and is well aware of the places, path and its pros and cons. They will be a great accert throughoutyour trek.
