Bumdra Trek
A short cliff-camp trek above Paro, ending at the Tiger's Nest




Small-group camping treks and cultural journeys, run by the guides who grew up on these trails.
Tents, a dining tent, mattresses and a trek cook travel with you, carried by horses and yaks. You walk with a daypack. The trails run through rhododendron forest and yak pasture to snow passes above 5,000 metres, past villages that see a handful of walkers a year.
We are a small, guide-owned company based in Thimphu. Write to us and you reach the people who will be on the mountain with you — not a reseller a continent away.
