21-day Gangkar Puensum high altitude trek in Bhutan

Join us to trek on the highest mountain in Bhutan!

Standing at a staggering 7,570 meters, Gangkar Puensum is one of the most iconic peaks in the country. It is located on the border between Tibet and Bhutan and is considered the highest unclimbed mountain in the world.

The 21-day Gangkar Puensum Trek is a high altitude trek which will lead you to the uncharted territory of this mountain-giant. It will take you on a wild, challenging journey, which is hardly undertaken by hikers. Trekking on rugged terrain, you will venture into unexplored mountainous terrain where you will see breathtaking landscapes and gorgeous views all along.

Since it is an extreme trek, only experienced trekkers who are in excellent shape are advised to join us. And, if you are one of them, you sure will have an exceptional time!

The journey will begin and end in the city of Paro. The following days include hiking through Bumthang, Nga Lhakhang and Bamurupa. You will visit several ancient dzongs, walk through beautiful forest and see many clear lakes on the way.

We’ll halt at Bamurupa and from there, you’ll get the first glimpses of Gangkar Puensum- a truly enchanting spectacle! The trail further leads to the beautiful Zhigeyphu valley, which offers clear vistas of pristine lakes.

You’ll also be crossing several high passes every now and then. Passing by Tsampa and Tashisa, you will finally descend to Bumthang, after having lived an incredible time.

And we do know that a trip to Bhutan would remain incomplete without the famous Tiger’s Nest hike, so you will definitely get a chance to visit this landmark monastery before ending this trip!
