Travellers are now able to experience the Trans Bhutan Trail for the first time in 60 years. Among the sites along the 402 km trail are nine districts, 28 local governments, two municipalities, one national park, and 400 historical and cultural sites.
Travellers around the world will be able to walk this trail once it opens in April 2022. Bhutan Canada Foundation, the major donor of this project, provided funding for the restoration of the Trans Bhutan Trail.
In addition to being able to hike and bike through the route, travellers will be able to explore 18 major bridges and climb 10000 stairs.
Travellers will experience the breathtaking eastern Himalayan region along the way. Bhutan trips give travellers the opportunity to see the scenic beauty of the country. There are many historic and cultural sites along the 500-year-old trail. Buddhist pilgrims used it to travel to and from Tibet and the western part of Bhutan to explore sacred sites.
A portion of the proceeds from guided walking and biking tours on the trail will benefit the local communities. It will take over a month to walk the entire trail on foot. If you’re an adventurer, photographer, or birdwatcher, this can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Additionally, the trail is going to be a big hit among pilgrims, and travellers interested in spiritual experiences and wellbeing.
