Bhutan Cypress offers a variety of trekking programs.Trekking is one of the best ways to enjoy the splendor of Bhutan’s natural beauty. You will be trekking on the pristine subtropical and temperate forest to alpine pastures with grand views of Himalayan peaks. The treks also give you the opportunity to see the countryside and meet ordinary Bhutanese people as you walk through village and settlements. All trekkers are accompanied by well-experienced guides, cook and porters/ horsemen. We provide horses or yaks, depending on the altitude that you are trekking, carry provisions and luggage. Treks vary from very short three-day trek across low altitude to three four weeks snowman trek covering distance of 356 kilometers. The northern treks climb as high as 5,500 meters and should only be attempted by people who are physically fit.
Click on a trek name to learn more about it. They have been arranged more or less by the duration of the trek, however, the actual number of days spent trekking will be slightly less. The average trek takes about 5 to 7 hours walk every day.

Bhutan, known as the land of the thunder dragon, secluded for centuries by one of the highest mountain ranges and most difficult terrain in the world, only recently opened its Himalayan doors to the outside world.
For more than 1500 years, a unique culture developed virtually undisturbed resulting in some of the most spectacular architectural, religious and natural sites found today.
Bhutan’s most unique, dominant and striking are it’s:
Dzongs: impressive forts built in the early centuries now housing the legislative and religious central administration for each of Bhutan’s dzongkhag (district). These huge fortresses were built with no architecture and nails. In addition to these are small lhakhangs and monasteries dotted throughout the country, adding more beauty to Bhutan’s majestic scenery. Adorning the inner walls of these buildings is Bhutan’s the beautiful and famous painting.
Bhutan is a peaceful country in the heart of the Himalayas where nature, tradition and Culture are still intact. Bhutan is the only remaining Mahayana Buddhist country is the world.
