The trek is moderately challenging, but with your spirit of adventure, we believe you'll truly enjoy it.

This tour was a fantastic blend of cultural activities, hiking in amazingly beautiful Bhutan, and a wonderfully coordinated 3-day trek. I would highly recommend this tour and tour operator for their attentiveness to detail, hard work to make their guests comfortable and have an amazing experience and really see the natural and cultural richness of the country. Challenging hikes we all accomplished, clean and welcoming hotels, flexibility in daily plans when required, excellent driver provided, and most wonderful guide Norbu Gyeltshen who is so knowledgeable and immensely qualified.
