Trip Overview

Paro-Thimphu-Punakha-Phobjikha-Trongsa-Bumthang-Paro

The Trans Bhutan Trail (TBT) are trails on which the country was founded – a network of ancient trails used by our ancestors connecting the lateral length of the country from Tashigang to the East and Haa to the west.  For hundreds of years, the trail was used by pilgrims, official entourages and messengers called ‘garps’, traders and avid adventurers as it was the only way to travel until 1962 when the first modern motor roads were first developed. After the country was connect with motor roads, the trails became disused and was revived in 2022 as envisioned by His Majesty the King. The trail takes hikers to the very soul of Bhutan offering intimate connections with the people, our unique culture, the rich biodiversity and it’s multitude of Himalayan flora and fauna , each season presenting a varied experience, hundreds of spiritual shrines and a plethora of folktales and historical accounts.

Our version of the TBT takes guests in the footsteps of tour grandfather who was an avid adventurer and merchant often traveling to Tibet to barter locally produced rice with salt in the 1940s and 1950s. When we were kids, he used to share stories of his faraway travels that planted a seed of wanderlust, and now we would like to share the stories of Bhutan with you. Our version is based on the highlight of our village in Tangsibje in Trongsa which lies right on the Trans Bhutan Trail where you’ll be staying at our heritage farmhouse built by our grandfather in the 1960s after he settled down to raise a family. Along the way we’ll camp, stay at charming farmhouses, combined with some comfortable resorts interspersed in between to recharge your legs and give you the comfort you need. After our village in Trongsa, the hike continues to the central valleys of Bumthang on the Royal Heritage trails used by the founding fathers of modern Bhutan. This trip not only gives you an in-depth insight into medieval Bhutan and give you a sense of being transported back in time.

Note – While this version of TBT is our recommended itinerary, we can shorten it to anything from 6-14 nights based on individual preferences and can even be made into a lodge-to-lodge trip for those who want to skip camping.

Two of the temples are in Bhutan. Then we proceed to visit Kurjey monastery which is considered as one of the sacred shrines in the country. We will enjoy a nice lunch at one of our favourite farmhouses to sample local cuisines and hospitality. From here we’ll continue the short hike to visit Tamshing Lhakhang – founded in 1501 by Terton Pema Lingpa – who is considered one of the greatest Bhutanese saints in our history.

After reaching paro, visit the 7th century Kyichu lhakhang monastery, the sister temple of Jambay Lhakhang in Bumthang. These two are considered the oldest Buddhist temples in Bhutan. Visit the Paro Rinpung Dzong fortress overlooking the beautiful Paro river. Drive towards town and visit the Dungtse Lhakhang: The uniqueness of this temple lies in the fact that it is in the form of a chorten, one of the very few that exists in Bhutan. The lhakhang was built in 1421 by the famous Tibetan lama, Thongten Gyelpo (1385-1465) who was also known as Changzampa or the builder of iron bridges. Alternatively, if you feel like a short easy hike, I recommend the Zuri Dzong hike that takes about 1 hour to reach Uma Paro Hotel from where you will be driven to town.

Tiger’s Nest excursion and Paro sightseeing

Today you’ll experience Bhutan’s most valued attractions, and perhaps the biggest highlight for your trip! An excursion to the famous Taktshang monastery -translated as- Tiger’s nest monastery.

Your guide will complement the experience with its story. On the way back visit the ruins of Drugyal Dzong fortress, which is an important Bhutanese heritage as it served as a strategic watchtower and a fortress that helped repel numerous Tibetan invasions in the 1600s.

The SDF funds free healthcare, education and Bhutan's carbon-negative conservation, and is arranged together with your trip — there is nothing extra to pay on arrival.
When is the best time to take this trip?
Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are the most popular, with clear skies, mild days and the biggest festivals. Winter is quiet, crisp and great value with sunny days, while summer (June–August) is lush and green with occasional afternoon rain. We are happy to advise on the best window for your dates.

Bring layers for changeable mountain weather, a warm jacket for evenings and high passes, comfortable walking shoes, sun protection, and a modest outfit — long trousers or skirt and covered shoulders — for visiting dzongs and temples. Your guide will advise on anything specific to your itinerary.
How much walking is involved on this tour?
Cultural tours are gentle, with short walks to dzongs, temples and viewpoints and the occasional optional hike — such as the climb to the Tiger's Nest. We keep a comfortable pace with plenty of stops, and can adjust to suit your group.
