Trekking in Bhutan offers immense opportunities to feel the hospitality of the Bhutanese. You get to witness the stunning mountainous beauty of the region along with the exquisite heritage of the land. The majority of the Bhutanese land is forest area. When you trek through these areas, you will witness unique plant species which are not easily visible in other parts of the world. The treks we conduct range from the simple walks through the terraced land and the pleasant villages which are very soothing in nature to the most tasking ones through coverage of high altitudes. You can choose the one according to your liking and physical abilities.
The trekking is organized through camping in between. All along the trekking trail, you will not find any hotel or lodge to stay. The camps are set up at places where you get enough drinking water, and you can set up your tents. Your horses can also feed on the meadows nearby. Porters do not accompany you, so you need to travel light with only certain designated items. The heavier ones are carried by the ponies. You will find the treks extremely attractive due to the mind blowing natural sights it has to offer.
