Trekking
The ultimate way to experience Bhutan – from its sacred mountains to its most important cultural celebration.
This journey blends the two sides of Bhutan most travellers rarely experience in one trip: a fully guided Himalayan wilderness trek through rhododendron forests and yak pasturelands, and the vivid pageantry of the Thimphu Tshechu, Bhutan’s largest and most vibrant annual festival.
Your adventure begins in the alpine valley of Paro and a day hike to the cliffside Tiger’s Nest Monastery, before embarking on a spectacular six-day trek along the ancient Druk Path, a high-altitude wilderness route linking Paro and Thimphu. Supported by our experienced trekking crew, you’ll camp in scenic wilderness locations and follow ridgelines offering panoramic views of the snow-capped Eastern Himalaya, including Jomolhari (7,326m) and Gangkar Puensum (7,570m) – the highest unclimbed mountain in the world.
After the trek, we join the Thimphu Tshechu – a sacred Buddhist festival filled with masked dances, fire rituals and spiritual symbolism. You’ll witness this spectacular event at the imposing Tashichho Dzong, and gain a deeper understanding of its meaning with the insight of your local guide.
The journey continues through fertile valleys, nunneries and hilltop shrines as you explore Punakha and the Dochula Pass, before returning to Paro. With festival timing, trekking logistics and cultural access all seamlessly arranged, this is a rare opportunity to explore Bhutan from all angles – spiritual, scenic and physical – in one extraordinary itinerary.
