An Unfiltered Travel Guide & Photo Diary

Highlights of the Trans Bhutan Trail

Imagine exploring the happiest country on Earth while walking along the same path used by royals, monks, and traders for thousands of years. That’s the Trans Bhutan Trail. Until the 1960s, it was the only way to get around the mountain kingdom of Bhutan. And now, for the first time in 60 years, you can hike it yourself. On this 12-day tour, you’ll travel and trek along the best portions of this historic trail, using your own two feet to experience rural and spiritual life in the most beautiful parts of the country. Venturing from west to east, you’ll hike along high mountain passes, across lush river valleys, and through villages from a different era, stopping to soak in local history, culture, and customs along the way. There really is magic on the Trans Bhutan Trail, and it’s ready to be rediscovered.

While many tours of Bhutan focus on sightseeing by vehicle, this trip is for the active traveler who prefers to connect with a destination on foot. Instead of just visiting highlights, you'll trek between them on the historic Trans Bhutan Trail, experiencing the landscape and culture in a way that those who stick to the roads simply cannot.
