Overview
Experience Authentic Bhutan by walking the footsteps of our ancestors in the newly restored Trans Bhutan Trail.
In the 16th century, this historic route, which stretches 403 kilometers from Haa in the west of Bhutan to Trashigang in the east, would have been the only way to communicate between the strategically placed dzongs (fortresses) along the route.
The Garps (messengers) of the Trail were notorious for carrying important messages between Dzongs at breakneck rates while receiving little to no rest or nourishment. The numerous kingdoms in the area were eventually brought together by the Trail, which eventually led to the creation of Bhutan as a nation in 1907.
The Trail was abandoned in the 1960s when Bhutan's National Highway was built. Still, it was revived in 2019 due to a collaboration between the Royal Bhutanese Government, the Tourism Council of Bhutan, and the Bhutan Canada Foundation. The Trail now draws travelers from all over Bhutan and the globe.
On this 9-day journey, hike and discover central and western Bhutan. On this tour led by our guide, you will get the opportunity to explore historic temples, taste traditional Bhutanese Culture, see village ways of life & also walk through the famous Trans Bhutan Trail.
If you want to try something more challenging then you can try the Western Bhutan Trans Bhutan Trail.
