12 Days Chelela Trek

Bhutan, known to her people as ‘Druk Yul’ (Land of the Thunder Dragon) has never failed to mesmerized her visitors. She is as much known for her awesome landscapes and architecture, as for her rich and colourful cultural heritage. Land-locked and surrounded by the Himalayan mountain range, the awe-inspiring valleys and mountain passes, sprawling glaciers, stupendous waterfalls, crystal lakes, deep gorges and vast undulating flower-studded meadows will take anyone’s breath away and offers great opportunity for trekking.

The Chelela Trek is no exception. The trek is a relatively easy trek near the scenic Paro Valley, that reaches an elevation of 3940m. It is ideal for those short on time or simply wishing to combine a short but active camping experience with a longer cultural journey. The trail is beautiful and pleasant, through the primula and rhododendron forests and with spectacular views of the striking Himalayan Mountain Range.
