Bhutan Treks

Bhutan Treks

Hand-Crafted to Perfection

All our example Bhutan Treks visit The Tiger's Nest, Taktsang Monastery

Trekking in Bhutan remains an authentic Himalayan experience. Chances are that on any of our private Bhutan treks, you're unlikely to meet many other trekkers. 

  • Unlike Nepal, there's a complete absence of teahouses, even on the short treks. Bhutan wishes to keep its restricted trekking trails for the discerning hiker. As well as the classic, well-known Bhutan hikes such as The Laya Trek and The Snowman Trek, there's remote trekking in the Haa Valley, a trek to Gangkar Puensum, the world's highest unclimbed peak (and likely to remain so), plus choices for short walks. Bhutan spoils the Himalayan enthusiast for choice, and the minimum daily tariff imposed on all visitors to Bhutan ensures that the independent budget backpacking hordes are kept at bay.

    Our In Style Bhutan walking holiday, for example, is a great way to experience rural life in Bhutan on foot and doesn't involve camping.

    So, whether it's challenging treks in Bhutan or some rather easy Bhutan treks, our range of Bhutan hiking vacations is sure to tick all the right boxes. We don't do group trips; we do private Bhutan trekking only.

    All our Bhutan trekking holidays feature a qualified, experienced, English-speaking guide, porterage (usually pack animals), and for treks that feature camping, a full trek camp service is provided (tents, cook, tables, chairs, mess tent, additional porterage, etc.). You just trek, carrying your usual daypack.

A challenging trek to gaze at the world's highest unclimbed mountain, Gangkar Puensum.  The linear trekking route to this magnificent peak gets wilder by the day and leads into a region of largely unexplored valley systems.

We offer BOTH route options for this world-renowned major Himalayan adventure. This option exits via the valley system that leads to Gangtey.
