13 Days Dagala Thousand Lakes 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 Dagala Thousand Lakes Trek is no exception. This trek, near Thimphu, offers you an opportunity to visit large numbers of lovely high altitude lakes. Along the trek route alpine flowers, rhododendron, different species of pheasants, musk dear and mountain birds are found in abundance, and, not to mention, the spectacular views of some of the most prominent peaks of the Himalayan Mountain Range. While most trekking days are short for this trek, there are some long steep climbs with the highest point of the trek at 4300m
