Begin below the cliffs

Spend time in the valley before choosing a demanding hike. Rinpung Dzong and the town offer an introduction to architecture, everyday life and the surrounding landscape.

Choose the walk for your party

Tiger’s Nest is a separate uphill outing, not a short town stroll. Agree the pace, guide and alternative plan before setting out.

Give the day room to unfold

Choose one main outing for each day and leave time for meals and the journey back. Confirm access, transport and any guided arrangements before setting out.
