Trekking in Bhutan

Trekking in Bhutan is an enduring, timeless, and true wilderness experience. Once you step off the road to start the trek, you are in complete wilderness for the most part. The trails are along the age-old path used by locals to travel from village to village. There are no planes flying overhead, no roads, and very few villages; instead, there are views of snowcapped peaks and forested hillsides stretching to eternity. Treks in Bhutan offer the opportunity to see Bhutan that is scarcely touched by modern times. The small villages that you come across are far removed from the chaos of city life and its inhabitants, mostly living the life of nomads, grazing cattle in the highlands filled with wild flowers, surrounded by snowcapped peaks, are unassuming, but friendly and welcoming.

Most of Bhutan’s landscape is covered with forests, and nowhere is this more evident than on a trek. All treks climb up and down hills, passing through various vegetation zones with a great variety of trees. As there is a lot of wildlife in the hills of Bhutan, and most treks are in protected areas, there is a chance, albeit small, of seeing wildlife in its native habitat.

Except for a few low-altitude winter treks, most of the treks in Bhutan are high-altitude ones and can be physically demanding.

Treks in Bhutan can range from  3 days to the epic Snowman trek for 32 days.

 The multitude of treks is on offer throughout the year. When the high altitude treks are closed during the winter months, low altitude treks in the sub-tropical area are open.
