Bumthang
Cultural Trek |
|
The Bumthang Cultural Trek
is well known as one of the
main cultural centers of
Bhutan and there are many
opportunities to visit
temples and small Bhutanese
villages along this trek
route. Although the trek is
on the easy side, it
involves a few major climbs
like the one up to Pephe La
with an ascent of about 500
m. Starting out from Toktu
Zampa of the splendid
Bumthang valley; the
cultural heart of Bhutan,
this eleven day trek passes
through several villages on
its meandering route through
Bumthang countryside and
provides an exceptional
opportunity for contact with
Bhutanese rural life,
cultural and tradition.
The trek is recommended from
March to May and then again
from September to November. |
