Overview
A gentler trek between hidden farming valleys near Phobjikha, paired with a Haa Valley day trip and Tiger's Nest.
A gentler trek between hidden farming valleys near Phobjikha, paired with a Haa Valley day trip and Tiger's Nest. This 10-day journey is led by Bhutanese guides who know the places and the people. Day by day: Arrival in Paro; Paro to Thimphu sightseeing; Drive to Gangtey via Dochula; Trek to Gogona via Tsele La; Trek to Khotokha via Shobju La; Trek out, drive to Punakha; and more across 10 days. The full itinerary with each day's details is on this page. This is a trekking journey. You walk with a guide, cook and pack animals or porters, camp or stay in simple lodges, and see parts of Bhutan that no road reaches. Your guide carries a first-aid kit and sets the pace for the group. The difficulty is moderate. You should be comfortable walking for several hours on uneven ground and at altitude, but no technical experience is needed. 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.
