Trek

During the last week of this year’s fleeting spring, I went looking for the Rhododendron vistas in Longtey near Phobjikha valley.

The epic Trans Bhutan Trail is a 403-kilometre-long route that starts from the district of Haa in the west of Bhutan to Trashigang in the east.

Follow the mythical story of deity Aum Jomo as this epic trail takes you close to the haunting mountain of the female deity.

The late summer rains created a different hiking experience as we took the trail to Lungchutse.

In the beginning of 2020, Bumthang district unveiled an ancient trail in the highland mountains of the district. We were invited to document this unseen trail later that year.

When I was a little girl my grandmother told me stories of sacred mountains, holy Lakes, giant cypress trees and the deities that lived in them. On my recent trek along the epic rock path trail, I felt closer to those stories, those Memories, those tales that took me to a land far away to a land of fantasy. Come with me as I take this journey.

For a very long time Bumdra has been a pilgrimage for those seeking to visit the sacred Bumdra Monastery. Today Bumdra is an ideal destination for travelers who wish to experience a unique camping and trekking adventure.
