Planning your trek is half the fun! We will help you select a trip that matches your fitness level, time, budget and interests. All of our treks include a couple of days for acclimatization and touring, and some have more touring than trekking. Trekking trips can be longer or shorter to meet your schedule, and you can always add more touring and maybe a festival. For each trek listed below, add two extra days for arrival and departure. |

| The Tshechu is a festival in honour of Padmasambhava. “One who was born from lotus flower” popularly known under the name of “Guru Rimpoche”, “the precious Teacher”. This Indian saint contributed enormously to the diffusion of Tantric Buddhism in the Himalayan regions of Tibet, Nepal, and Bhutan around 800 A.D. He is the founder of the Nyingmapa, the “old school” of Lamaism which still has numerous followers. The biography of Guru Rimpoche is highlighted in 12 episodes on the model of the Buddha Sakyamuni‘s life. Each episode is commemorated substitute throughout the year on the 10th day of the month “the Tshechu” which has become the name of a very popular festival. | ||

Bhutan Cultural and Historical Tours, providing glimpses into Bhutan’s cultural life, religion, arts and architecture, are an opportunity to expand your horizons and make cross cultural connections. Our cultural adventures meader through the country’s major cities, rural villages and majestic scenery. We visit also festivals, monasteries, Dzongs and museums.
An Unique Experience unlike many of the more crowded treks offered in Asia. Variety of treks range from a simple 3 day trek from the district of the Thimphu to Paro to the 28 days legendary Snowmen trek that takes veteran trekkers through some of the most exquite sports in the country. The Snowman trek is labeled „The World’s Toughest Trek“ as it goes over 12-14 mountains passes all of them over 4,500m -5,000m.
For the Bhutanese, attendance at religious festivals offers an opportunity to become immersed in the meaning of their religion and to gain much merit. The festivals are also occasions for seeing people, for being seen, for social exchanges, and for flaunting success. An atmosphere of convivial, slightly ribald good humor prevails.
