Trekking in Bhutan is an uniravalled trekking and is quite challenging - it is for the real adventure seekers. The hill side tend to be almost vertical, the climate is windier, damper and colder and the daily altitude gain is more than any other Himalayan country.
A touris can enjoy the beautiful landscape, its flora and fauna. Each trek has its own special features to explore the villages of Bhutan, Pilgrimage to a monastry, erecting prayer flags on mountain tops, visiting hot springs.
Trekking in Bhutan is quite different from trekking in any other region in Asia. It is not required any special skills to trek as the trails are generally in good condition. Fit and experienced walkers would have no difficulty navigating them although natural obstacles such as snowfall or landslide could require a change of plan.
Trekking Season : Most Trekkers visit Bhutan in spring and fall which is main trekking season throughout the Himalayan region. In winter, the low altitude treks are ideal. The clear blue skies offer unique oppurtunities to enjoy beautiful views of snow caped mountains. In summer one can enjoy short treks in despite of the rain, muddy trails and leeches.
The trekkers are are very well looked after by the trained guide who accompany them. Overnight accomodation is in tents and luggage is carried by pack animals.
