trekking
While Paro Valley is the starting point for many of Bhutan’s treks, all the valleys offer a number of treks catered to all levels of ability. Amankora will tailor a trekking itinerary suited to guests’ preferences and length of stay in Bhutan. Overnight treks can also be organised.
paro
Hike up the dramatic ruins of Drukyel Dzong and continue on to the Paro Chhu (river) before heading through beautifully terraced fields of rice and buckwheat with village hamlets dotting the landscape against a richly forested backdrop.
Follow the trail of one of the most frequented pilgrimages in the Himalaya and hike up to the revered 7th century ‘Tiger’s Nest’ or Taktsang Lhakhang.
Drive up Paro Valley with a gradual ascent up the 4,000m Cheli La Pass. The all-day trek offers incredible views of not only the Haa and Paro Valleys, but also the Himalayan backdrop that runs along the border with Tibet.

Hike along the banks of Mo Chhu through terraces of rice, chillies and cabbage, to the Khamsum Yuelley Namgyal Chorten, a three-storey monument housing beautiful and complex paintings built by the Queen of Bhutan.
thimphu
A hike to Cheri Goemba, home to the Kingdom’s first monastic body, is recommended.
