Trekking in Bhutan

trekking in Himalays with Yak Holidays, Bhutan Travel AgentWith some of best trekking routes in the world, Bhutan has always fascinated the insatiate traveler with its rugged beauty, a living Buddhist culture, and  friendly people. From relatively easy 5-day Druk Path to the formidable 23-day Snowman Route, the country offers its unique geography to the thirst of those with tough legs and sinewy guts.

A cross-country trek will take you through the extreme bounties of nature: thick evergreen forests, undulating hills and vertical cliffs, bald and snowcapped mountaintops, deep ravines and gorges, gentle valleys and foothills.
Most trekking routes start at the temperate region and run through alpine regions covering a wide range of temperatures and weather conditions.
Trekking in Bhutan can not only be physically challenging but also mentally arduous. Read More »»
