The tour "Camp The Trans Bhutan Trail" starts from and ends in Paro. It is a trekking and hiking trip that takes 11 days taking you through Trongsa, Paro, Thimphu and 5 other destinations in Bhutan. "Camp The Trans Bhutan Trail" is a guided small group tour that includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.
It’s not often you can hike a historic trail that was used for millenniums by royals, monks, and traders. In fact, it’s been 60 years. Until the 1960s, the Trans Bhutan Trail was the only real way to traverse the mountain kingdom of Bhutan before it fell into disuse. Thankfully, it’s back, and this 11-day tour will show the world what it’s been missing. Covering some of the best portions of this 403 km trail, you’ll use your own two feet to experience its breathtaking, diverse landscapes and timeless villages from a different era. Featuring idyllic camping spots and overnights in comfortable local homestays, this tour will give you a glimpse into Bhutan’s rural and spiritual life that’s only possible when you head off the beaten path. So lace up those hiking boots — the Trans Bhutan Trail is ready when you are.
