Trekking in Bhutan |

|
Trekking in Bhutan is unlike
anywhere else in the Himalayas. The walks are long
and arduous but they are complimented by crystal
air, lonely paths and views that defy description.
The trails lead one through alpine meadows,
rhododendron forests, around the foothills of the
snow peaked Himalayas, emerald green valleys and
crystal lakes. One also gets the opportunity to see
a wide variety of flora and fauna. One can travel
for days without so much as seeing another person.
On all treks, one will be accompanied by a guide, a
cook, porters and luggage animals. Trekkers need
rarely to carry more than a day pack. Every
precaution is taken to ensure the safety and comfort
of the trekkers.
Most of the designated treks go above 9,000 ft
(3,000 m) - 18,000 ft ( 6,000 m). Altitude sickness
is an acute problem for trekkers in Bhutan and is
not recommended for people who are not properly
acclimatized or for those who suffer from high
altitude sickness.
Trekking permits are required on all treks. The
treks vary from short 3 day walks over relative low
altitudes to over 3 week long treks which takes one
through some of the highest passes in the kingdom. |
