Trekking in the Himalayas, is an altogether awesome experience that cannot be described by words. It is unlike any other experience. It is said that to fully appreciate nature it is essential to become part of its silence. Trekking gives the nature admirer such an opportunity, to feel the power and unparalleled beauty and sanctity of the majestic Himalayas.

Further we take care of our trekkers and make sure that their sojourn into the mountains is a memorable one. We provide a crew of specialized staff to assist you along the way. The crew will include at least one cook, one guide, a horsemen and horses, the number depending on the size of the trekking group. All the provisions and luggage are carried by the horses and porters.

However, if you are planning to go trekking in Bhutan you should be reasonably fit and bring along some basic trekking gear such as trekking shoes, water-proof clothes, ruck-sacks, etc.

The treks offered are graded according to their difficulty level. You can choose the trek of your choice from the list of trekking programme offered.

The Chelila Nature Trek is of medium difficulty. The trek through the primula and rhododendron trail is a very beautiful and pleasant one. The views are spectacular.
