This is without doubt one of the most beautiful and unspoilt trekking areas in the entire Himalayas.The trip begins in Paro, gateway to Bhutan and set in a wide valley dotted with traditional dwellings and terraced farms, watched over by the great Paro Dzong (monastery Fort). From here you head up valley where the trek begins. You will follow the waters of the Paro chu river up through forests of pine and juniper and into high alpine meadows for stunning views of Mt. Chomolhari (7316m) and Jichu Drake (6797m). This is wild country and its quite possible that you will see the rare blue sheep or bharal. From here the trek heads north-east to the village of Lingshi (3800m). The Lingshi Dzong is over 600 years old. It was built by a Lama for purely monastic purposes but due to its strategic position it soon became one of the strong holds against invading Tibetan armies.


From Lingshi you then head down along ancient trails and through un-touched forests to reach Thimphu, Bhutan's tiny capital and the concluding point for the trek. There will be time here to see the sights, notably to massive and imposing Tashichho Dzong. Bhutan's seat of power. Then you will return to Paro where the trip concludes.
