Trekking in Bhutan : 22 multi-day treks including the Lunana 'Snowman' Trek, Jhomolhari, Druk Path and Dagala treks

The Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan offers some of the world's most extraordinary high-altitude trekking, where forested valleys rise to snowbound passes beneath the soaring peaks of the eastern Himalaya. From demanding expeditions such as the legendary Snowman Trek to classic routes like the Druk Path and Jomolhari trek, Bhutan's mountain trails combine dramatic scenery, remote wilderness and a deeply rooted Buddhist culture. This comprehensive guidebook provides everything you need to plan and complete Bhutan's finest multi-day treks with confidence. Detailed stage-by-stage route descriptions with sketch mapping support navigation across mountain passes, isolated valleys and rugged Himalayan terrain. High-altitude preparation and acclimatisation guidance from experienced trekker and guide Bart Jordans reflects the realities of trekking in Bhutan, where many routes exceed 4000m and careful pacing is essential. Comprehensive planning advice covers permits, visa requirements, mandatory guides and tour arrangements, transport logistics and the best trekking seasons. Remote and remarkably unspoilt, Bhutan rewards those willing to venture high into its mountains with vast horizons, sacred sites and a rare sense of solitude. Whether crossing 5000m passes or walking between fortress-monasteries and alpine camps, these are treks that demand commitment and preparation—but reward hikers with breathtaking Himalayan vistas, sacred monasteries and unparalleled tranquillity in one of the world's most pristine mountain regions.
