Trans Bhutan Trail

The Trans Bhutan Trail, dating back to the 16th century, was once a vital lifeline connecting Bhutanese fortresses (Dzongs). It also served as a pilgrimage route for Buddhists from the east seeking to visit the most sacred sites in West Bhutan and Tibet. Today, this renowned footpath is undergoing a revitalization through a social enterprise that works with local communities to restore it. After being closed for over 60 years, the trail, which stretches from Haa in the west to Trashigang in the east, has recently reopened. This groundbreaking, not-for-profit initiative aims to promote sustainable tourism and showcase Bhutan's rich cultural heritage for the benefit of its people. Spanning 403 kilometers, the Trans Bhutan Trail is widely regarded as one of the world's most remarkable walking routes.
