Trekking & Cultural Adventure in Bhutan

This 13 day/12 night adventure in the land of “Gross National Happiness” combines a 6-day trek along an ancient Himalayan trade route with exploration of Bhutan’s timeless Buddhist culture.We hike through pristine forests and alpine meadows with awesome vistas of 20,000’ snow peaks, visit yak herders and hidden spiritual retreats, and get a chance to spot some of Bhutan’s elusive wildlife including tigers and snow leopards.

We experience the color and excitement of an authentic Bhutanese festival, shop for artwork and crafts in bustling local markets, track endangered black necked cranes and all along the way meet Bhutan’s friendly and fascinating people.
