One most unique Bhutan trek you must not miss - 2020

Escape to experience the world outside your comfort zone, battling against the odds to unplug the incomprehensible wonders of nature.

Gangkar Punesum Exploratory Trek is one of the few trek left in the world for trekkers looking for incredible trek route, get unforgettable emotions and create unusual memories. It is one of the most beautiful high altitude treks in Bhutan. It visits an area to the south and east of Gangkar Puensum, the world’s highest unclimbed peak, which lies inside Bhutan border with Tibet. This is one of the most challenging yet rewarding expeditions.

Very few people have undertaken this challenge, but haven’t completely sprawled across the region’s incredibly remote surrounding. There are many uniquely undisturbed, unexplored and well preserved beauties with endless prospect of wonders that can silence you for days to truly feel its presence. This wild area with spectacular mountain vistas is home to the yak herders and their animals during the summer months, but some of the areas are not even touched by the resident yak herders. This is the reason we want you to explore before everyone else does.

The trek is quite challenging, however, it is a worthwhile objective and should be attempted by those trekkers who have previous experience of hiking in a rugged, high altitude mountain environment.
