Eastern Bhutan Discovery

Overview

An off-the-beaten-path route through Bhutan's least-visited dzongkhags.

An off-the-beaten-path route through Bhutan's least-visited dzongkhags. This 7-day journey is led by Bhutanese guides who know the places and the people. Day by day: Bumthang to Mongar; Mongar to Trashigang; Trashigang to Trashiyangtse; Trashiyangtse to Lhuentse; Lhuentse valley exploration; Return to Mongar; and more across 7 days. The full itinerary with each day's details is on this page. This is a cultural journey: you spend your days among dzongs (fortress-monasteries), temples, markets and villages, with time to meet people and watch craftsmen at work, rather than racing between sights. The difficulty is challenging. It involves long walking days at high altitude, cold nights and basic facilities, so good fitness and some previous hiking experience are recommended. Ask us about preparation and the best season. Every Droelma Tours & Travels journey is arranged with a licensed Bhutanese guide, a private vehicle and driver where roads allow, and accommodation planned in advance, and we help with your Bhutan visa and permits. Departure dates and group size can be adjusted — send us an enquiry and we will tailor the itinerary to your dates and interests.
