Overview

Trip Location: Punakha

About the Activity:

  • This four day trek is a short and pleasant journey from Punakha to Wangduephodrang Dzongkhag.
  • It is a fairly easy trek as the altitude only ranges between 1100-1900m and the climate is warm throughout the hike.
  • The path takes you through forests of rhododendron and oak, through the villages of Sha and Chungsakha and across the longest foot bridge in Bhutan.
  • While this trek is available throughout the winter the best times to embark on it are between March-April and September and October. The trail is approximately 54km in length.
