Overview
The royal kingdom of Bhutan has a lot to offer. From elegant dzongs (fortresses), religious monasteries to the thrills of adventure like white water rafting, long and short family treks, Bhutan is a country that should definitely be on your list.
Termed as one of the easiest treks in Bhutan, this short trek takes us to the remote village of Tsaluna where we interact with the locals as we blend in with their lifestyle. All along the trek you pass through beautiful flora with blooming rhododendron flowers.
