trekking holiday in Bhutan for a group of 4 Indian Men
Save

Hello - We are a group of 4 Indian men who are looking for a 6-7 days trekking holiday in late May 2012. We need a simple trek (very low difficulty level) since fitness level within the group varies widely. Would also like to spend the first couple of days to see the regular touristy sites in Paro/Thimpu and to get acclimatised. so the total trip duration in Bhutan can be 8-9 days. We will arrive by Air from India. Your suggestions on the treks, things to do and the agency that can help organise the trip would be very very welcome. Thanks in advance

The treks listed as easiest are the Bumthang cultural trek and the Gangtey trek. But these still have some rather steep ascents, and are at an altitude of 3000 meters. Your suggestion to start with sightseeing is good, as you land at 2200 meters and can get used to the altitude, and drive to the starting point of your trek.

If you look at the top questions about Bhutan, at the right upper part of our main page, you'll see the trip reports. There you'll get an idea of what people liked and did, and recommendations for local agencies. As advertising is not allowed on the forum, even mentoning the name of a good agent can be marked as advertising, so read the reports, or send a PM-private message- to some regular posters, by clicking on their name, and you can ask for their personal recommendations.

You can see the official site:www.tourism.gov.bt for lists of tour operators.

Thanks a lot for your response. Have been reading your responses to others and find that you have been most helpful. Will definitely do as you have suggested.

Any ideas on what the air ticket cost is for Indians from either Delhi or Bagdogra or Kolkata. Tried locating Druk Air schedule but even that does not seem to be easily available. Any links i can visit to get the druk air itenary so that i can finalise our trip.

http://Drukair.com.bt should give you all the information. Or wait till you have a local agent, and he can arrange the flights for you. That's the way I do it , and it works well. Good luck.

The treks are classified as simple, moderate, tough, toughest; and any reputed local tour operators of Bhutan should be able to guide you; also I think the cost of flight will be USD 191 for economy and USD 230 for business class per head from Kolkata.

That looks a little difficult especially the Day 4: Jangchu Lakha to Jeyna Tso. Is it at all possible to break that day into 2 and have another day on the trek.

also could you please send costings in Indian Rupees for 4 passengers
