On arrival in Bhutan, you will be met by your private guide and driver and set off on your adventure starting in Paro. You’ll spend two nights in a beautiful handpicked property. Paro contains a wealth of things to see and do, and of course the fabulous Tigers Nest Monastery which you can walk to the following day.

It involves a steep 800-metre ascent, but there are numerous rest-stops on the way and your reward is amazing when you see the monastery at close range. Enjoy the wonderful scenery as you walk through pine forests that are colourfully decorated with moss and prayer flags.

You will be privately transferred to the trek starting point Drugyel Dzong and trek to Shana Camp. You’ll spend two nights in deluxe camps along the way. The path goes upstream of the Pachu river through villages gradually ascending to 2800 meters at Shana camp.

Today, the trail again follows the Pachu River ascending through pine, oak and spruce forest. The camp is at an altitude of 3800 meters near a stone shelter.

You will begin climbing slowly until you reach an army camp. Then follow the river above tree line with stunning views of the surrounding peaks. A leisurely will take you to Jangothang at an altitude of 4050 meters. The view of Jhomolhari (7320 meters) and Jichu Drake (6900 meters) is outstanding!

Relax without any activities or you can explore the surrounding areas like Tshophu Lake, visit Yakherders.

Today, the trail follows the stream for half hour and crosses the bridge to the right side. Climb up the ridge and enjoy stunning views of Chomolhari, Jichu Drake and Tshrim Khang mountains. Then walk through the wide-open valley sometimes coming across herds of blue sheep. Nearing the camp, you will see the Lingshi Dzong perched on top of a hill with commanding view of the valley.

Today will be the most difficult day, so you will start early. Begin walking opposite the dzong gradually through the valley until the stiff climb to Yale la pass at 4950 meters the highest point of the trip. The panoramic view of Mt.Chomolhari, Jichu Drake and Tshrim Gang is incredible.

Today, the path follows the Thimchu river descending through rhododendron, Juniper and pine forests. The view of the cliff facing rocks and waterfalls are stunning. The trail gradually ascends after 3/4 hours to the ruins of Barshong Dzong reaching the camp at 3500 meters.

The path descends for a while joining the Thimchu River and gradually ascending and descending through thick bamboo and pine forests. From Dolemkencho the trail descends all the way to Dodina where your private driver will be waiting for your return.

You’ll spend the next two nights in a handpicked property. Enjoy a privately guided tour of this Bhutan’s capital city.

Visit the Motithang Mini Zoo where you can see the National animal, Takin, graze peacefully in a small protected park. Walk to the Zilukha Nunnery and then drive to the Tango Monastery for a picnic lunch. You’ll then hike to the monastery that takes about 45 minutes. It is a 13th-century structure and is home to about 150 monks studying Buddhist Philosophy and meditation.

You’ll be privately transferred here and will spend your final night in a partner hotel. You have the option of indulging in Zuri Goenpa Hike, that’s if you have the energy! This hike is an easy one with little climb of about 20 minutes and then it levels along the slope above Paro valley with spectacular views down below, finally finishing at the National Museum, altogether taking about 2 hours.

As it is the national sport of Bhutan, we couldn’t let you leave without enjoying an archery lesson at your hotel.
