Trekking Between Unclimbed Peaks
Trekking in Bhutan is a unique experience unlike many of the more crowded treks offered in other parts of Asia. The variety of treks ranges from a simple three-day trek from the district of Thimphu to Paro to the legendary 28-day Snowman trek that takes veteran trekkers through some of the most exquisite and remote territory in the country. The Snowman trek is also labeled the world’s toughest trek as it goes over 12-14 mountain passes all of them over 4,500 meters.
Trekking Supplies and Routes
All trekking such as camping equipment, kitchen implements and food are carried by pack animals. Porters are rather unusual in Bhutan. Loads in lower regions are carried by horses, while in higher regions yaks are uses. For walkers, the most appropriate trekking times are mid-March to June and mid-September to the beginning of November. However, there are also a few trekking routes better suited to summer or winter.
Culture
Culturally this country has no parallel. For many centuries the Himalaya isolated Bhutan so that its language, society and social customs developed with little external influence. The culture is based purely on Buddhist philosophy. It is neither borrowed nor made in recent years, the roots of its existence are as old the existence of the land and people themselves. Nowhere is this better witness than in the Tshechu rituals. These festivals reenact Bhutanese history and religious lessons for successive generations, while providing great community enjoyment.
The people of Bhutan still live a primarily agrarian life. The country is largely populated by the three ethnic groups. In the Eastern areas, Sharchops predominate and are believed to be the earliest inhabitants. In the West you will fined Naglops of Tibetan descent and in the South many Nepalese who began settling in Bhutan in the 1900’s. The Bhutanese are warm friendly, peace loving, hard working and enjoy a great sense of humor.
Bhutan Dragon Adventures is licensed by Tourism Council of Bhutan under Ministry of Economic Affairs and is operated by the group of committed staff. We are always looking forward to offer you a great opportunity to explore our unexplored Buddhist country.
