Trekking in Bhutan

The power and beauty of the mountains is more impressive on foot than from any vehicle. Whether you take a two night trek around the stunning Bumthang valley or take the eight day trek to the base of Mt. Chomolhari, the views, villages, people and experience will be unparalleled.

Trekking during April and May in the Himalayas brings out the deep reds and oranges of the rhododendron blossom. In autumn, after the rainy season, the skies clear and leaves begin to turn a golden yellow.

We at Lhasa Travels are committed to offer very personal and efficient services especially for the trekkers. All trekkers are accompanied by a guide, a cook and experienced staff. Provisions and luggage are carried by mountain horses and at high altitudes by yaks. The horseman and cook will usually run ahead during a trekking day. The will have prepared a packed lunch and will go on to the night's resting place to set up camp.

Treks vary from short three-day walks across low altitudes to the three weeks Snowman trek that covers 356 kms. The northern paths climb as high as 5,500m and should be attempted by strong, experienced walkers. Our Guides are trained to look out for altitude sickness and other ailments that can affect trekkers. They are expert walkers who have been trained as trekking guides and follow routes that have been walked for centuries.
