From a three-day ridge walk above Thimphu to the 25-day Snowman Trek that fewer people finish each year than climb Everest, plus whitewater and single-track biking through valleys the road doesn't reach.
Choose your altitude.
Every trek includes a support crew, camping equipment, a cook, and a guide certified in high-altitude first response. We match the trek to your fitness level honestly — not to what sounds most impressive.

You leave Paro's terraced fields behind on day one and by afternoon you're camped beside an alpine lake with nobody else in sight. A gentle introduction to Himalayan trekking with big payoff views for modest effort.
Paro to Jele Dzong
Climb through blue pine forest to a ridge-top dzong; first camp at 3,400m.
Ridge walk to Jimilangtsho Lake
Rhododendron forest (spectacular in April) and yak herder camps along the way.
Descend to Thimphu
Final ridge views of both Paro and Thimphu valleys before the descent.
Druk Path to Dagala Lakes
An extended version of the Druk Path that pushes into the Dagala range's cluster of high-altitude lakes, famous locally for excellent trout fishing and, on a clear morning, a five-peak Himalayan skyline from a single ridge.
The Snowman Trek
Widely called one of the hardest treks in the world — and one of the least crowded. You'll cross eleven passes over 4,500m, pass beneath Gangkhar Puensum (the world's highest unclimbed peak), and finish having spent more days above 4,000m than most trekkers do in a lifetime. Only for the seriously fit and acclimatised.
Two rivers, two very different days.
Mo Chhu River Float, Punakha
A gentle Class II float past Punakha Dzong from the water — the fortress rising straight out of the river is a view almost nobody gets from the road. Good for families and first-timers.

Class III–IV rapids through a narrower gorge for guests who actually want to get wet and work for it. Safety briefing, rescue kayak escort, and a riverside packed lunch included.
Single-track and switchbacks, guided or self-supported.
Thimphu to Punakha Descent
Start at Dochula Pass (3,100m) and descend nearly 1,500m of altitude through pine forest and farming villages to the Punakha valley floor — a support vehicle follows the whole way.

A rolling, village-to-village ride through central Bhutan's open valleys, overnighting in farmhouses and small lodges, with rest days built in for temple visits along the route.
