Trekking in Bhutan

Adventure in the Last Shangri-La

Trekking in Bhutan with Summit Routes
Bhutan, the “Land of the Thunder Dragon,” offers more than mountain views—it’s a living cultural landscape where sacred valleys, ancient monasteries, and timeless villages are as much a part of the trail as the peaks on the horizon. Trekking here is not always about extreme altitude; many of Bhutan’s most rewarding trails are accessible to anyone with a spirit of adventure and love for nature.
