Trekking & adventure
On foot, above the valleys
Camping treks with full crews, ridge hikes between monasteries and quiet roads made for bicycles — Bhutan's wilder side, with comfortable nights.
How trekking works here
You carry a day pack. The mountain does the rest.
Walking in Bhutan means camping. Pack animals carry the equipment, a cook prepares hot meals and a small crew pitches camp ahead of you, so you arrive to tea and a tent already standing.
Routes cross high passes and follow rivers to yak pastures that few travellers ever see. Treks are scheduled for the right seasons and paced for acclimatisation, with a trained guide throughout.

Broken-in boots, layers and a warm sleeping bag. We send a full list after booking.
Trekking questions
Do I need to camp?
Bhutan has no teahouse network, so treks are camping-based. Our crew pitch and strike camp, cook meals and carry the equipment. You only carry a day pack.
How do you handle altitude?
Itineraries include acclimatisation days and gradual gains. Your guide monitors everyone and will adjust or descend if anyone is struggling.
What is the best season?
April to early June and late September to November. Spring brings rhododendrons; autumn brings the clearest skies.
What about insurance?
Comprehensive insurance covering trekking at your route's altitude and emergency evacuation is required. We will tell you what to check.
Can I trek independently?
Treks must be arranged through a licensed Bhutanese operator, who supplies the guide, crew, permits and equipment.
