Spectacular, uncrowded and tranquil settings are the norm as we explore Bhutan, one of the world’s last unspoiled frontiers, by foot. Enjoy awe-inspiring surroundings, breathe in fresh mountain air and let your spirits soar among towering peaks, as we trek in this land of endless beauty. More than 20 virgin peaks over 7,000 meters including Gangkar Phunsum, the world’s highest unclimbed mountain, rise as guardians high above the sweeping river valleys.

Treks vary from short three-day easy walks across low altitudes to the streneous four-week Snowman Trek that covers 356 kilometers and climbs three of the kingdom’s highest passes.
