17 Days Wild East Rodung La Trek From Central to Eastern Bhutan
About
Trek from Bumthang to the far east of Bhutan, passing through pristine mountains. The untouched ecosystems combined with the rich cultural experiences make this one a must for anyone visiting Bhutan.
The route was once an important trade road in the past but has fallen into disuse since the advent of modern roads in Bhutan. It is now mainly used as a hiking trail and quite often used by the cow herders especially from Lhuentse in eastern Bhutan where you will spend a day resting and sightseeing (Day 10).
While the Rodung La Trek does not ascend to very high altitudes, it is still fairly challenging as the trail covers some fairly steep climbs and descents. The trail takes you from Bumthang...
