ADVENTURES

Bhutan is a destination for adventure sports. Set amongst the majestic Himalayas our kingdom is the perfect location for all manner of exciting activities including Hiking, Trekking, Kayaking, Mountain Biking and Fishing. Bhutan Hiking Tour The small, landlocked country of Bhutan is rich with hospitality, deep traditions, and a passion for preserving the environment. The “Land of the Thunder Dragon” first opened its doors to tourism in 1974, and although it has since experienced a cascade of modernization, the Bhutanese have carefully maintained a clear national identity. The itinerary takes you to several regions, varying in landscapes and elevations from mild and fertile rice-growing terraces to high ridges with views of the magnificent, snowcapped Himalayas. Your journey begins in Thimphu, the country’s vibrant capital, where traditional customs and a modern vibe easily coexist in a wide river valley framed by mountains. Walking routes are along well-trodden footways between whitewashed farmhouses, villages, monasteries, temples, and Dzongs (former fortresses). The tour culminates in the cultural center of Paro, where you walk up to the most famous monastery in Bhutan, “Tiger’s Nest,” which is dramatically perched on the edge of a cliff. Bhutan Snowman Run 2020 The Kingdom of Bhutan is set to launch one of the world’s toughest and high-altitude ultra- marathons at unseen proportions of the eastern Himalayas. Snowman Race will span 5 days during which twenty-five of the world’s top extreme runners will attempt one of the most remote and challenging foot races ever initiated. Running through 300KM of Himalayan wilderness, with an average elevation over 14,000 ft (4267m) and multiple peak summiting 18,000 ft (5486m), the Snowman Race follows a historic high-altitude trekking route of Snowman Trek (which takes up to 25 days to complete) that has been conquered by fewer people than Mt. Everest. The Snowman Race draws inspiration from the prescient wisdom of His Majesty the King on conservation of natural and cultural heritage. It aspires to bring the world’s attention to climate change, one of the defining issues of our time, and its impacts, particularly on the lives of people living in fragile mountain ecosystems.
