Package: Trans Bhutan Trek - Challenging
Distance 183 Km, Avg 17Km/ Day
In this Trans Bhutan Trail, you will walk the ancient trails of Haa, Paro, Thimphu & Punakha. To endeavor into this trail, you will require some level of physical fitness.
The trail starts from Haa and ends in Paro. The trail from Haa to Paro used to be used by Haap to travel for generations to trade with Parops. The hard weather in Haa hampered local paddy cultivation. Therefore, they exchanged 20 dirhams of dried meat for 20 dirhams of rice at Paro Tshogdu (market).
The central monastic body has used this route to travel to Punakha for the winter and back to Thimphu in the summer.
By venturing into this trek, you will also travel along this historic route, used by ancient messengers, warriors, and individuals engaging in barter and paying the Wola (Labor Tax).

I have come to Bhutan for cultural tour and that also in the month of July when there was a quarantine requirement. During the quarantine night, I read that one of the best thing to do in Bhutan is trans Bhutan trail.
I called Mr. Thinley, my tour organizer through Whats App and asked him if we could do the portion of it & if it could be added with our Bhutan Cultural Tour package. He was very willing to adjust a section of trans Bhutan trail in Paro. It is like walking through village routes. Had a farmhouse lunch , played traditional Bhutanese games and did some stone bath. It was indeed a rich , Bhutan cultural experience.
I would like to thank Mr Thinley for being flexible and giving us a better Bhutan experience. Thank you.
