Description
A guidebook to 22 trekking routes in Bhutan, plus variants. The graded routes vary in terms of difficulty, although many involve high altitude and remote terrain calling for self-reliance.
The routes range from 2 to 24 days. Highlights include the Lunana 'Snowman' Trek, the Jhomolhari Trek, the Druk Path Trek, the Dagala 'Thousand Lakes' Trek, and opportunities to visit Gangkar Punsum Base Camp.
- Route description illustrated with sketch mapping
- Can be used to select, prepare for and enhance an organised expedition (since independent trekking is not permitted in Bhutan)
- Notes on trekking seasons, outfitters, transport, accommodation and food, equipment, and medical considerations (including safety at altitude)
- An insight into Bhutanese mountain life, plus advice on cultural awareness
