From winding mountain passes and sacred Buddhist monasteries to prayer flags fluttering in the wind and bursts of blooming rhododendrons, Bhutan hiking tours combine high adventure with deep cultural insights into this Himalayan kingdom. Jutting out spectacularly from the top of a hill, Tiger’s Nest is one of Bhutan’s best-known monasteries, dating back to the late 17th century, which makes for an excellent day-long hike. Or you can opt to cross the shimmering lakes, alpine meadows and yak herders’ huts on the six-day Dagala Trek, also called the Thousand Lakes Trek. Easily accessible from Paro and Thimphu, it includes an ascent to the holy Jomo (Dagala) Peak and offers superb views of Jomolhari and Jichu Drake peaks. Regarded as one of the most challenging Bhutan trekking tours, the four-week Snowman Trek involves crossing at least 10 high passes and sometimes camping in the snow. Along the way, you will also hike past lakes and waterfalls and spot many blue sheep and yaks. Scroll below to find our popular hiking tours in Bhutan.

amazing trek in Bhutan, couldn't have asked for more - everything was managed well by World Expeditions and the Bhutan ground operator. We had a very experienced guide and it was clearly notable the difference in standard between our group and the group from another company travelling in parallel with us.

Wonderful time in Bhutan Stunning mountainous scenery and fascinating cultural place to visit. We were lucky enough to be in Paro for their annual Festival. Our Druk Path trek was challenging at times but made comfortable and safe by our fabulous guide Lhab and his attentive crew. The food is excellent. The other travelers in our group were so much fun . We travelled on for another 6 days to central Bhutan with our excellent guide Singye and Driver Tanjin and would highly recommend exploring this part of Bhutan

We recently returned from the Druk Path adventure in stunning Bhutan. It was my first time travelling with WE as for decades, I've organised all my own independent travel. For Bhutan, this simply wasn't an option, particularly given the itinerary included a multi-day high altitude trek, and we weren't disappointed. From the moment our Bhutanese host and guide met us at the airport to the final farewell, everything was well organised and paced, and nothing was too much trouble. The trek itself was well supported, and our experience attending the famed annual Paro Teschu and magnificent Punakha Zhong either side of the trek were highlights. Recommended!

A truely wonderful experience on so many levels. I signed up for the physical challenge of the trekking and the high passes along with the scenery and isolation but in end it was so much more. Very personalised insights into the culture, society and history. Thoughtful discussions about Buddhism as we saw this being practiced first hand in the remote holy places. I got a sense of a World yet to be touched by the nasty sides of globalism. The chief guide was fantastic, a true gentleman and the camp staff and food was amazing for the high altitude and remote context. This is not though an easy walk and needs to be respected as such.

I have just completed the Bhutan High trails via Laya trip and would recommend this trip by World Expeditions without reservation. We happened to have near perfect weather, but our guide was unbelievably good: astute, sensitive, knowledgeable and passionate about his country. The views were spectacular,and the exposure to culture, village life, and Buddhist ways was a point of difference from other similar treks I have done (Huayhuash, Toubkal, Ladakh). The usual pleasures were daily highlights - great food, a hot drink at daybreak, and twice daily hot washing water. It was cold at night. We were all treated to hot water bottles. Small treats, but valuable a sub zero temperatures.
