Trekking in Bhutan by Bart Jordans
A guidebook to 22 trekking routes in Bhutan, plus variants. The graded routes vary in terms of difficulty, although many involve high altitude and remote terrain calling for self-reliance. The routes range from 2 to 24 days. Highlights include the Lunana ‘Snowman’ Trek, the Jhomolhari Trek, the Druk Path Trek, the Dagala ‘Thousand Lakes’ Trek, and opportunities to visit Gangkar Punsum Base Camp. Route description illustrated with sketch mapping Can be used to select, prepare for and enhance an organised expedition (since independent trekking is not permitted in Bhutan) Notes on trekking seasons, outfitters, transport, accommodation and food, equipment, and medical considerations (including safety at altitude) An insight into Bhutanese mountain life, plus advice on cultural awareness
