Bhutan Treks

Bhutan Treks are guided Himalayan trekking holidays that explore the country's mountain landscapes, alpine lakes, forest trails, remote valleys and traditional Bhutanese culture. Our Bhutan trekking packages include the Druk Path Trek, a classic route between Paro and Thimphu, and the Jomolhari Loop Trek, which leads to Jomolhari Base Camp at Jangothang inside Jigme Dorji National Park. Every trek starts in Paro, with an experienced local guide, a trekking crew and all camping arrangements looked after for you.

Choose the trek that fits your time and fitness. The 7 day Druk Path Trek is the shorter option, with four days of trekking and four nights of camping, reaching about 4,200 m at its highest point before ending in Thimphu. The 10 day Jomolhari Trek is a strenuous high altitude trek with six nights of camping. It goes to Jomolhari Base Camp, crosses three high passes up to about 4,890 m and ends in Thimphu. Both treks include sightseeing in Paro and Thimphu, such as Kyichu Lhakhang, the National Museum, Tiger’s Nest Monastery, Tashichho Dzong and the Buddha Dordenma statue.

We give you clear advice and honest information before you book, and every package shows what is included and what is not. Our local team knows these trails, camps and seasons well, and your guide checks the pace and the weather each day, so safety and comfort come first. With careful arrangements and one team you can rely on from your first message to your last day, you can enjoy the mountains and learn about Bhutan beyond the main tourist route. Spring from March to May and autumn from September to November are the most popular seasons for trekking.

What Makes These Bhutan Treks Special

• Two Classic Bhutan Treks
  Choose the 7 day Druk Path Trek, a moderate route from Paro to Thimphu with four nights of camping, or the 10 day Jomolhari Trek, a strenuous high altitude route with six nights of camping and a highest point of about 4,890 m.

• Ridges and Highland Lakes on the Druk Path
  You walk from Jele Dzong to Jangchulakha through pine, rhododendron and juniper forest. Then you camp near Jimilangtsho, a quiet highland lake. At the end, you walk down through Phajoding to Thimphu.

• Jomolhari Base Camp at Jangothang
  You camp at Jangothang, about 4,080 m high. Mount Jomolhari stands right above your campsite, and Jichu Drake is close by. You spend a full day here to rest, so your body can get used to the altitude before the high passes.

• Three High Passes on the Jomolhari Trek
  You cross three passes: Bhonte La at about 4,890 m, Takhung La at about 4,520 m and Thombu La at about 4,380 m. On the way, you pass the Tshophu glacial lakes and walk through the quiet Soi Yaksa valley.

• Tiger’s Nest and Bhutanese Culture
  The Jomolhari Trek starts with the hike to Taktsang, the Tiger’s Nest Monastery. It takes about 4 to 6 hours round trip. The Druk Path starts with a visit to Kyichu Lhakhang and the National Museum in Paro. Both treks end with sightseeing in Thimphu.

• Full Camping Support
  Your private guide, cook and trekking crew set up tents, cook all meals and move the camping equipment with pack animals, so you walk with only a day pack.
