Trekking in Bhutan

Planning your trek is half the fun! We will help you select a trip that matches your fitness level, time, budget and interests. All of our treks include a couple of days for acclimatization and touring, and some have more touring than trekking. Trekking trips can be longer or shorter to meet your schedule, and you can always add more touring and maybe a festival. For each trek listed below, add two extra days for arrival and departure. These days are included in the detailed itineraries which can be viewed by clicking on the Itinerary links in the boxes.
