This new trek offers everything that makes Bhutan special, with only one item missing: other trekkers! A post-harvest six day low-altitude Winter trek through ecological rich environment that traverses through the home of the Monpa people- the earliest settlers in Bhutan. Witness a cultural history, dating back to the 8th century, as you visit the small traditional villages of the Monpa community, a unique tribal group who continue to practice Shamanism and Buddhism today. You may even catch a glimpse of one of the World rarest primates, the endangered Golden Langur, which can only be found in Bhutan and neighboring Assam. Most tour dates allow for attendance to one of the colorful festivals.
