105 reviews on bookmundi

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.

Bhutan Snowman Trek with Greg Mortimer

4.9(8 reviews)

The Snowman Trek is the ultimate rugged traverse of Bhutan through the isolated Lunana region. Regarded as Bhutan’s most formidable trekking challenge, the Snowman Trek is a true Himalayan benchmark - remote, rugged, and undertaken by only a handful of trekkers each season. Over 27 days, this fully supported expedition traverses a chain of 11 high-altitude passes, including Rinchen Zoe La (5326m/17,471ft) and Karakachu La (5165m/16,946ft) to reach Lunana, the most remote region of Bhutan, snowbound for much of the year. The route ventures deep into Bhutan’s mountain wilderness, weaving through stark ridgelines, sacred lakes, and high valleys shadowed by 7000m (22,965ft) giants like Jomolhari, Gangchenta and Table Mountain. Along the way, you’ll pass yak herder camps and remote villages where traditional life endures far from the modern world. With our decades of Himalayan expertise, trusted local crew and strong logistical support, this is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure for seasoned trekkers ready to step well beyond the ordinary.

Honest insights from past guests on our Trekking and Hiking Bhutan tours

Anonymous | Traveled in November

5.0 - Excellent

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.

Holy Bhutan

The trip was absolutely incredible and we fell in love with Bhutan; its landscape,people and beauty. This was largely due to our magnificent guide Wangchuki. He was kind, patient and knowledgeable. His friendliness and humour made every single moment of the trip one to be cherished. The tour group we were with ,was perfect and we enjoyed getting to know people from different countries and of varying ages. The hotels we stayed in were unique and comfortable and everything ran seamlessly. We were lucky enough to enjoy a local festival ,as well as watching monks create their beautiful butter sculptures. In the course of our trip, we had two drivers ,Pala and Gelsen. Both were extremely careful and skilled drivers , ensuring we felt safe and comfortable at all times. No mean feat on the winding ,narrow, mountain roads ! Thank you for everything Wangchuk, you and your stunning country will always have a very special place in our hearts.

Such a Great Company to Travel to Bhutan and Nepal

I booked my trip to Bhutan and Nepal and I am impressed by the client service and how available they were for me. I asked so many questions to Kyle (thanks again) and he was always super kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend them if you are looking for a travel company to assist you to travel to Bhutan and/or Nepal. The itinerary they propose is varied, not too overpacked and helps you to enjoy a great trip. Nancy
