Which are the best trekking routes in Bhutan?

Trekking in Bhutan is still quite new. Most visitors are there only for the cultural highlights and only walk as far as the Tiger's Nest. In 2016, fewer than 2,000 people booked trekking holidays in all of the country. This is one of the great things about visiting Bhutan now. Bhutan treks are still unspoilt and even the best trekking routes are incredibly quiet.

Having trekked a lot in the country we know which are the best trekking routes in Bhutan. And we also know what are the best itineraries for those treks. In Bhutan, we have decided to focus on three routes. The very short Druk Path trek  with visits to  the most important cultural destinations. The longer Chomolhari trek which takes you into the big Himalayan mountain country. For most trekkers we believe this is the best Bhutan trek to choose. And finally, as a private trip we also offer the famous Snowman trek. At 25 days this is the longest trek we operate and is as difficult as  climbing Aconcagua.

A map of these three routes and more detail on each route is below.
