Trekking in Bhutan

A guidebook to 22 trekking routes in Bhutan, plus variants. The graded routes vary in terms of difficulty, although many involve high altitude and remote terrain calling for self-reliance.

The routes range from 2 to 24 days. Highlights include the Lunana ‘Snowman’ Trek, the Jhomolhari Trek, the Druk Path Trek, the Dagala ‘Thousand Lakes’ Trek, and opportunities to visit Gangkar Punsum Base Camp.
