Trek Description

The trail runs from central to eastern Bhutan. Involves fairly steep climbs and descents but not very high altitude ascents are required. Not very much frequented by hikers, the beauty of this trail – used by local people to interact with different districts – is the diversity one comes across, not just of vegetations and landscapes, but of ethnicity, culture and customs. As a result, from the start till the end, there are endless changes and surprises, making it ideal especially for nature and cultural enthusiasts.
