Trekking in Bhutan is unlike anywhere else in the Himalayas. The walks are long and arduous but they are complemented by the pristine atmosphere and views that defy description. Only a handful of tourists trek each year; trails are not as developed as they are in other countries. However what Bhutan may lack in infrastructure development, it makes up for in superb support facilities for trekkers. A trained guide, a cook, a cooking assistant and at least one horseman accompany all our treks. Horses and yaks carry all loads; you will only have to carry a daypack with your camera and extra films.
First roads in Bhutan were built only in the early 70s. Until then people traveled along trails, hundreds of years old. Even now, some parts of Bhutan are days away from the nearest road. Trekking in Bhutan is along these ancient trade routes, far away from the main towns. Trek routes take you through villages not yet reached by the hands of change. And unlike in other Asian countries, the villagers and the cattle will be the only occasional traffic you will come along the trail. Assisted by our trained crew, it is the best way to experience the country and to meet the local people.
We have tried to think of many ways to make your adventure as comfortable as possible. Our support crew will walk ahead and set up the camp before you arrive. A warm cup of tea waiting in the dining tent is the welcomest treat after ten hours hiking up and down mountains, sometimes as high as 18,000 feet.
All meals are carefully planned. Breakfast is always cooked and dinner includes a choice of at least four dishes. In many of the remote parts of the country, villages are scarce and few people will cross the path and as a result we take every precaution to ensure the safety and comfort of all our guests.
We offer many treks, each different from the other. The snowman trek, reputed to be the toughest trek in the world, is the ultimate in outdoor experience.For Trekking season and custom trek routes that you would like to undertake, please let us know and we will design routes that befits your time and interest. We will also inform and discuss the various grades and difficulty that you will encompass during the various trek routes that we have.
Below is a glimpse and short introduction of the various Trek routes available in Bhutan, for detailed information please let us know and we will send you all trip details, custom routes and advise that suits your particular needs.
