Trekking in Bhutan
Bhutan’s trails climb from blue-pine forest to glaciers above 5,000 metres, past yak camps, cliff-side monasteries and passes strung with prayer flags — and you will very likely have them almost entirely to yourself. This is Himalayan trekking as it once was: unhurried, uncrowded, and deeply alive.
Why walk here
Most of Bhutan has no roads. Whole valleys are reached only on foot, exactly as they have been for centuries — which means a trek here is not a detour from the country, it is the country. You walk between fortress-monasteries and farming hamlets, cross high passes into hidden basins, and share the path with herders moving their yaks to summer pasture.
Because Bhutan keeps tourism deliberately low-volume, the great routes never feel crowded. On the remote trails you can walk for days without meeting another traveller — only the occasional caravan, a lone monk, or the tracks of a snow leopard in fresh snow.
Choose your trail
Bhutan has a trail for every kind of walker. These are the routes we know best — grouped by how much time and stamina they ask of you. Full day-by-day itineraries are on the way.

How we trek
Every Omba trek travels with a licensed local guide, a camp cook and a support crew, with horses or yaks carrying the tents, food and gear. You walk with a light daypack and a steady, acclimatised pace — extra days are built into the higher routes so your body has time to adjust.
We keep groups small and camps clean, hire and train locally, and leave the trails exactly as we found them. Low-volume, high-value travel — done responsibly.
