Whether you take a two-night trek around the Bumthang valley or take the eight-day trek to the base of Mt.Chomolhari, the experience will be unparalleled. Trekking during April and May in the Himalayas brings the deep reds and oranges of the rhododendron blossom. Earlier in the year the light is shaper but the nights are very cold. In autumn, after the rainy season, the skies are clear and leaves begin to turn yellow. A guide accompanies all trekkers with a cook and some experienced staff. Mountain horses carry the provisions and luggage and at high altitudes by Yaks. With the surest footing, they lead trekking groups across the passes. The horseman and cook will usually run ahead during a trekking day. They will have to prepared a packed lunch and will go on to the night resting place to set up camp. Treks vary from short three-day walks across low altitudes to the three weeks. The northern paths climb as high as 5,500m and should be attempted by strong, experienced walkers. Our Guides are trained to look out for altitude sickness and other ailments that can affect trekkers. They are expert walkers who have been trained as trekking guides and follow routes that have been walked for centuries. Top VTBT # 01 Gangtey Gogona Trek (08 Days/07 Nights)
