Trekking
in Bhutan is unique, unlike anywhere else in the Himalayas.
The walks are long and arduous but crystal air, lonely paths
and views that defy description compliment them. The trails
lead you through alpine meadows rhododendron forests around
the foothills of the snow peaked Himalayas, emerald green
valleys and crystal lakes. One also gets the opportunity
to see a wide variety of flora and fauna. The treks vary
from short 3 day walks over relative low altitudes to 3
week long treks which takes one through some of the highest
passes in the kingdom of Bhutan. The Bumthang trek is a
cultural trek that takes you through villages and heritage
sites in the valley of Bhutan.
Bumthang Cultrual Trek is through Choekhor and Tang valley,
passing and visiting Bumthang's remote villages, ancient
temples and even a manor of Ugencholing. This trek is so
named because, the opportunities to visit villages and temples
are greater than on most other treks in Bhutan. Though it
is relatively easy and a short trek, there is one day of
a long climb and descend (about 500m) to Phephe La (3360).
However, there is no significant altitude gain as with other
treks and your night halts are all below 3100m (10,100ft).
The trekking or tour of Bhutan can be combined with Nepal
trek, tour to Darjeeling and Sikkim or even cultural journey
to India like Taj Mahal Agra, Jaipur etc. Similarly
Bhutan tour can combined with Tibet ( Lhasa ) or Buddhist
circuit tour like Lumbini, Bodhgaya, Sarnath and Kushinagar
etc. Which are the birth place, enlighten place, first teaching
given place and Pari - Nirvana place of Buddha. Kindly ask
us for details.
