Trekking in Bhutan

Trekking in Bhutan describes 22 official treks and a handful of trek variants, with comprehensive advice about planning, preparation and cultural considerations.

The guide covers the classic Lunana ‘Snowman’ Trek, the Jhomolhari and Dagala Treks, and the Druk Path. It also describes a range of other treks, including well-established trails and other routes which venture into remote and seldom-visited areas of the country.

You will find thorough coverage of all the practicalities, with notes on trekking seasons, outfitters, transport, accommodation and food, ethics and etiquette, equipment and medical considerations (including safety at altitude). The guide also offers a fascinating insight into Bhutanese mountain life, from local superstitions and beliefs to plants, wildlife and yak husbandry.

The guide contains route descriptions, mapping and information on local points of interest.
