The Trans Bhutan Trail is Bhutan’s longest and most historic trek, stretching 403 kilometers from Haa in the west to Trashigang in the east. Once an ancient trade and pilgrimage route, it has been restored as a cultural and adventure journey that connects travelers with Bhutan’s heritage, remote villages, dzongs, and sacred monasteries. Over 38 days, this trail crosses 9 districts, 27 sub-districts, and 11 high passes, offering breathtaking Himalayan views, spiritual encounters, and deep immersion into Bhutanese life. It is the only trail that lets you experience Bhutan’s past, present, and future on foot, while building a true connection with nature and local communities.
