If you do not use pre-paid services included in the itinerary (accommodation, sightseeing, meals, transport, and similar), no refund or reuse is offered for the unused portion. Refund conditions may be updated at the company's discretion. The company may cancel a trip before it is guaranteed to run or before an official agreement is signed. A trip is guaranteed once two travellers have paid in full unless a different minimum is stated for that departure. Circumstances such as natural disaster, cancelled flights, strike, industrial action, war, riot, quarantine, government intervention, weather, or a group member's health may force cancellation. In those cases you may choose either a refund of 75% of the total trip cost paid (13% government tax deducted from that refund) or reuse of the same value on an alternative trip at the same price in the same season and year. The booking deposit (25% of the total) remains non-refundable in that scenario. Cancellation must be sent in writing; the cancellation date is the date written notice is received.

You enter after Drukair or land-border formalities coordinated from Kathmandu. Permit stamps and a Thimphu or Paro briefing sit before the first tent night. Dzongs, rhododendron, and high lakes set the days. Permit fees and a slower, official pace are part of how Bhutan is walked. Yak-country camps and rhododendron bands sit between the official permit days, with a slower walking pace required throughout. ✨ Why Choose Us We'll handle Bhutan visas, route permits, and the mandatory local guide from our Kathmandu desk so you are not standing at Paro with incomplete papers. A licensed Bhutanese guide and kitchen crew travel with you from Genekha, and pack ponies carry the tents, dining kit, and food. Camping is the overnight plan on this Dagala lake route, with mattresses and a dining tent waiting at each site. You'll walk ridges to Pagalaptsha, Labajong, and Tale La, camping at Genekha, Labatama, Panka, and Talakha with cooked meals after each pass. Our team prefers a guide who already knows this valley, and daily plans stay flexible if weather sits on a 4,500-metre col. After Chamgang a private vehicle returns you to Paro, and a share of profits supports school students in remote villages. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Private airport pickup and drop-off One night 3-star hotel twin share with full board Four nights twin-share camping with all meals and evening tea Bhutan trek and entry permits Trek transport on the itinerary Camp tents, kitchen, dining, toilet tents, Petromax, and cooking gear Pack ponies for trek equipment Hard and foam ground mattress per person Dining tent with chairs and table Separate toilet tents for men and women on larger groups Local trek guide and experienced kitchen crew Bhutan visa fees included ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point outside arranged airport transfers Flights to and from Bhutan Travel insurance including medical evacuation Tips for drivers, horsemen, camping staff, and guides Extra costs from natural calamities or an aborted trek Personal shopping and incidental expenses Beverages including tea, coffee, and alcohol Personal trekking gear such as sleeping bag and torch ### Kit list Broken-in waterproof hiking boots and wool or synthetic socks Layered clothing, insulated jacket, rain shell, hat, and gloves Daypack, water bottles, and head torch Sleeping bag suitable for teahouse nights at altitude Sunglasses, sunscreen, lip balm, and personal first aid kit Passport copies, visa, insurance documents, and cash for extras on the trail ## FAQs ### When is the best season for this trek? Stable trekking weather most often falls in pre-monsoon spring and post-monsoon autumn. Monsoon cloud sits lower on the hills while winter brings ice on steps above village level. If your dates sit in winter or monsoon, pack rain and cold layers and accept that flight or pass days may move by a day when safety requires it. Weather can shift daily plans, so your guide keeps a steady pace with regular breaks. ### How fit do I need to be? You should be comfortable walking several hours a day on uneven paths with a daypack, including steady uphill sections as you gain height. Hill training and longer weekend walks in the months before travel help your legs and lungs on uphill trail days. Hill training, stair climbing, and longer weekend hikes in the months before travel help your legs and lungs, even when acclimatisation days are built into the route. Break in boots before you fly and carry a light daypack on practice walks. ### What is included in the package? Guided trekking with licensed leaders, lodge nights on the trail, meals as described for walking days, and permits for the regions crossed are included when they are part of this trip. Domestic flights, porters, and airport transfers apply only when they are part of this trip. Domestic flights, road transfers, porter support, and airport transfers apply only when they are part of this trip. Permits for the regions you cross are arranged in Kathmandu or Pokhara when included. ### What is not included? International flights to Nepal, visa fees, compulsory travel insurance, personal trekking clothing, snacks and drinks outside included meals, and tips for crew are not covered. Hot showers, Wi-Fi, and battery charging in lodges are usually paid locally when offered. Charges for hot showers, Wi-Fi, or battery charging in lodges are paid locally when offered unless your trip notes say otherwise. International flights, visa fees, and personal insurance stay outside the trek package. ### Where do we meet? Hotel meet in Thamel is typical; send flight numbers so pickup can meet you at the international terminal. Allow a little extra time after the trek before international flights home in case mountain roads or flights move. Rest day buffer after the trek helps if Lukla or helicopter sectors slip by a day. Trail conditions are checked each morning before the group moves. ### How does altitude sickness management work? Guides set a steady pace and watch for headache, nausea, or dizziness as you gain height. Your crew would rather wait for a safe window than rush marginal weather. Tell your guide early if symptoms appear so tomorrow's stage can shorten or descent can start before conditions worsen. Thamel hotels are the usual meet point; drivers need flight numbers to meet you at the international terminal. ### How do we reach the trailhead? Jeep or bus days to the remote trailhead are arranged when they are part of your package. Your guide confirms departure times at briefing. Motion sickness medicine helps on winding mountain roads. Shoulder weeks need an honest weather call before high passes or dawn viewpoints. ### What permits are required? National park or restricted-area permits apply depending on the valleys you cross. The team arranges paperwork in Kathmandu or Pokhara when you provide passport copies and trek dates. Keep copies in your daypack for checkpoint stops. Your crew would rather wait for a safe window than rush marginal weather. ### Can children join this trek? Families join when children can manage the daily hours and terrain on this specific route. Pace and daily hours can be adjusted on private departures, though that may extend the calendar. Ask our Kathmandu team if you are planning with younger walkers. Private departures can shorten daily hours, though that may add a day or two to the calendar. ### What insurance do I need? Comprehensive travel insurance that covers trekking to the highest altitude on your itinerary, medical evacuation, and helicopter rescue when applicable is essential. Many standard policies exclude high altitude by name. Read the wording before you travel so you can adjust cover if trekking above 5,000 metres is not named. Many standard policies exclude high altitude by name, so read the wording before you fly. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://media.adventuro.com/public/d3f2ece0-e3af-4baf-909d-c53e4dfe7965/95613d53-e530-42c5-a3d0-e4e10bcf0b73/original.webp - **Gallery image count**: 10 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
