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.
Drukpath Trek
The trip begins with two days of sightseeing in Paro, your arrival city, including a trip to Taktshang Monastery. Then you trek from the Paro Valley to the Thimphu Valley by way of beautiful high
altitude lakes, camping one night by the Phajoding Monastery. The trip ends with visits to Thimphu and Punakha before returning to Paro and your plane.
This trip features one day touring in Paro, then driving to Thimphu where trekking begins. The trekking is easy and most trekking days short, although there are some steep climbs and the altitude reaches nearly 15,000 feet.
You will pass through magnificant scenery and hike around beautiful lakes.
Jholmolhari is one of our most popular trips. The trek begins in Paro after a day of acclimitization and touring. The route climbs through two passes - yak territory - with spectacular views of Jholmolhari, one of Bhutan's most
sacred mountains. At the lower levels, the trail winds through forest, apple orchards and rice paddies. Trekking ends in Thimphu with two days of touring.
Starting in Paro, trekking for this trip winds farther north than the Jholmolhari trek - all the way to the unusual village of Laya and then on to the hot springs of Gasa. Along the way you explore local culture in villages and dzongs. You see nature at its best as you
wend your way through alpine pastures and deep forests looking for yaks, blue sheep and takin. The touring portion of the trip explores Thimphu and Paro.
On this trek you travel to the remote Luana District in the east of Bhutan. It is considered the most difficult of Himalayan treks. You cross dozens of high passes, many over 16,000 feet. Altitude, the challenges of long distances, difficult weather conditions and remoteness, combine to make this
trip a true adventure. The hearty are rewarded with the most magnificant views in the Himalaya and unforgettable landscapes.
