- from short walks to arduous treks. To trek here is to experience the kingdom
of Bhutan at its most magnificent. From the towering snow peaks of the inner
Himalayas to the verdant forests which cloak the hills above its peaceful
valleys, the trails are clean and unspoiled, and the wilderness still pristine
in its beauty.
Unlike Nepal, Bhutan's trekking routes have not been over trekked - only
on main routes in peak season will you meet other trekkers. Many of the
routes are old trade routes, now usused and are often more precipitous and
less-maintained than in Nepal.
In consequence Bhutan can offer real wilderness and village experiences.
In addition to the cultural highlights of Paro, Thimphu, Punakha and Wangdu explore Gangtey and Phobjikha, a glacial valley on the western slopes of the Black Mountains. The valley is a designated conservation area and, due to the large flocks of black-necked cranes that winter here it is one of the most important wildlife preserves in the country. There are also muntjack (barking deer), wild boar, sambar, Himalayan black bear, leopard & black fox in the area.
