One can enjoy the splendor of Bhutan’s natural beauty by trekking through pristine sub-tropical and temperate forest to alpine pastures with grand views of majestic mountains. It is also an opportunity to see the countryside, meet people and observe local festivals. The treks vary from the short excursions in low altitude areas to the month-long snowman trek which covers a distance of 356 kilometers. Some of the northern high altitude treks will take you across mountain passes as high as 5,500 meters. Of late, adventure sports like mountain biking, rafting/kayaking, and safari in Bhutan’s nature parks are increasing coveted by international travelers.
