Details

If a short and gentle walk in Bhutan combined with some well-planned sightseeing is what you are looking for, then this is it. We start with a hike to the magnificent Taktsang Monastery before heading out to the Haa Valley, where we begin a magnificent three-day trek, known as "The trail of the Haa Planters." This age-old Trail was used by rice cultivators from the Haa Valley to Paro during the rice-growing season. Despite the moderately short and lower altitudes, it is a beautiful hike that delivers in all ways with cultural interaction, stunning views, dramatic scenery, and Bhutan's famous rhododendron forests that bloom each spring from early March to June. Our journey of cultural discovery through this exceptional Buddhist kingdom progresses with visits to Wangduephodrang, Thimphu, and the ancient capital of Punakha, as well as the impressive Punakha Dzong, and gaining an enthralling insight into this remarkable country.
