Mountains and trekking
From easy and flat to difficult and high
Bhutan is a diverse travel destination whose mountain world invites you to go on extended trekking tours. Peaks such as the Chomolhari (7,110 m), Gankar Puensum (approx. 7,570 m), Zanghopho Kang (7,085 m) and of course the Khula Kangri at 7,538 m challenge you to conquer, circumnavigate or admire them from a greater distance – depending on your wishes, physical fitness and mountain experience. The panoramas are varied and extremely impressive at all altitudes and those who prefer to explore the country in a more comfortable way can choose from our diverse group and private tours program.
