Bhutan Himalayan Trekking Tour Packages

All international visitors require a Bhutan visa and daily sustainable development fee. Specific trekking permits are needed for high-altitude routes, restricted areas, and national parks. Our team handles all permit arrangements including trekking permits, restricted area permits for regions like Snowman Trek, and special photography permits. The process requires passport copies, itinerary details, and advance booking typically 30-60 days before departure.

Fitness requirements vary by trek difficulty. Easy treks (Bumthang Cultural) require basic walking fitness. Moderate treks (Druk Path, Dagala) need regular exercise and cardiovascular fitness. Challenging treks (Jomolhari, Laya Gasa) require excellent fitness, hiking experience, and altitude tolerance. Extreme treks (Snowman Trek) demand exceptional fitness, high-altitude experience, and technical trekking skills. We recommend 3-6 months preparation with cardiovascular training, strength building, and practice hikes.

Our comprehensive packages include professional guides and porters, all camping equipment and gear, nutritious meals throughout the trek, transportation to/from trailheads, all necessary permits and fees, emergency support and insurance, cultural experiences and monastery visits. Luxury packages additionally include heated tents, gourmet cuisine, photography support, and enhanced comfort amenities. Personal equipment like clothing, boots, and accessories are not included but can be rented.

Safety is our absolute priority with comprehensive protocols including mandatory acclimatization schedules, daily health monitoring, pulse oximeters for altitude assessment, trained guides with wilderness first aid certification, satellite communication devices, emergency evacuation insurance, and pre-positioned rescue coordination. We maintain conservative ascent rates, implement rest day protocols, carry comprehensive medical kits, and have established relationships with rescue services and medical facilities.
