Trekking Through Time: The Revived Trans Bhutan Trail

Trekking Through Time: The Revived Trans Bhutan Trail

The Trans Bhutan Trail is more than just a hiking path; it is a rich historical and cultural corridor that connects the heart of Bhutan. This trail, which spans 250 miles from Ha in the west to Trashigang in the east, has been recently restored after being abandoned for decades.

Originally a vital route for monks, traders, and royal messengers, the trail offers a unique opportunity to walk through stunning landscapes while experiencing the deep traditions of Bhutanese culture. As we explore this extraordinary trek, we will discuss its significance and the wildlife that can be encountered along the way, including the elusive clouded leopard and the charming red panda.

Join writer Chin Liang Teh as we delve into the journey of revitalizing this sacred path, guided by insights from Dorji Draj, former Director General of Bhutan's Tourism Council.
