Alam Sohaib — Thu, 12 Dec 2019 23:24:55 +0000

In this trip, you will be crossing Bhutan from the West to the East. We will enter Paro in the West via plane and exit by land in the east to Guwahati. In this crossing, we will not only discover the classic areas of Paro, Thimphu and Punakha, but also those of the East such as Gangtey, Trongsa, the valleys of Bumthang, Mongar and Tashigang. In crossing Bhutan from the West to the East, you will also see exotic monasteries and majestic temples. There are so many places to visits and so many things to see that you will never retrace your steps.

It is also possible to go to Sikkim before Bhutan, via land through the Phuntsoling station. Extension at the end of the course in the region of Merak and Sakteng can also be done.

Druk Path Trek

Expeds — Tue, 09 May 2017 15:01:30 +0000

Druk Path is an ancient route through the mountains between Paro and Thimphu. The trek itself is quite popular due to it passing through the epic natural landscape of blue pine forests, high ridges and pristine lakes while at the same time offering the opportunity to visit some ancient lhakhangs, dzongs and villages.

The Druk Path Trek is also a comfortable hike to undertake as the distances between rest camps is fairly short. The trail takes you through forests of fir, blue pine and dwarf rhododendrons at altitudes ranging between 2400-4200 m. On the third day hikers will arrive at Jimiling Lake, whose crystal clear waters are home to gigantic trout.

This trek also offers hikers stunning views of Mt. Gangkar Puensum, the highest unscaled peak in the world.
The best times to embark on the Druk Path Trek are between March-June or September-November.

Expeds Snow Man Trek

Expeds — Sun, 01 Jan 2017 12:41:42 +0000

Snowman trek goes to the remote Lunana district. We consider it to be a fairly strenuous trek, simply because of the length of time, it takes to complete. Crossing dozens of high passes, many over 16,000 ft, this trek includes challenges of long distances, altitude, difficult weather conditions and remoteness. Most of all however the trip affords some of the most magnificent views in the Himalayas. Whilst traversing through spectacular landscapes, you will learn how remote villages survive in such extreme conditions. Due to the level of dependence on local support, this is the most noteworthy culturally immersive trip. This expedition although somewhat hard going, affords some serious rewards along with a sense of achievement when you finish!

The trek doesn’t have to be completed in one go and can be segmented. We can discuss preferences and the time of year to ensure you get the most out of your trek!
