Trekking in Bhutan

Bhutan Tours & Luxury Exclusive use the best trekking and outdoor equipment in the country. Imported brand–name four-season tents or expedition tents are used for our treks. Thermal with small foam mattress, blow pillows and hot water bags are provided. We also own and bring Portable Altitude Chambers or GAMOW bags for high altitude treks. These bags are used in emergencies, when one experiences HACE, HMS, and another altitude-related sickness. Durable and water-proof Kit Bags are provided to protect your gears and clothing. Our staffs are provided with short distance two-way radio for communication on the trek. We carry and use refillable Gas Cylinders for lighting and cooking, to reduce the impact on our environment.

It is best to bring your own sleeping bag but if you cannot, Bhutan Tours & Luxury Exclusive provide a sleeping bag, as long you pay for its dry cleaning charges. You must request for a sleeping bag in advance.

You should bring:

Limited trekking gears may be available in shops in Thimphu but you cannot rely on it, plus they are usually more expensive than elsewhere, so bring all your equipment. List of personal equipment in the Check List provided in Pre-departure Information is very useful for planning and most of it is necessary on a long trek. All of your gears, (except perhaps the sleeping bag) should be packed into a strong duffel bag weighing less than 15kg (30lbs).
