The power and beauty of the mountains is more
impressive on foot than from any vehicle. Whether you take a two
night trek around the Bumthang valley or take the eight day trek
to the base of Mt. Chomolhari, the views, villages, people and experience
will be unparalleled. Trekking during April and May in the Himalayas
brings the deep reds and oranges of the rhododendron blossom. Earlier
in the year the light is sharper but the nights are very cold. In
autumn, after the rainy season, the skies clear and leaves begin
to turn yellow.
We at International Treks & Tours are committed to offer very
personal and efficient services especially for the trekkers are
accompanied by a guide, a cook and some experienced staff. Provisions
and luggage are carried by mountain horses and at high altitudes
by Yaks. With the surest footing, they lead trekking groups across
the passes.
The horseman and cook will usually run ahead during a trekking
day. They will have prepared a packed lunch and will go on to the
night’s resting place to set up camp. On your arrival at the
campsite nothing will taste better than being greeted with a hot
cup of tea and biscuits.
Treks vary from short three day walks across low altitudes to the
three weeks Snowman trek that covers 356 kms. The northern paths
climb as high as 5,50m and should be attempted by strong, experienced
walkers. Our Guides are trained to look out for altitude sickness
and other ailments that can affect trekkers. They are expert walkers
who have been trained as trekking guides and follow routes that
have been walked for centuries.
