We, do not provide travel insurance so we strongly recommend you purchase comprehensive insurance. Long treks require an insurance certificate and contact detail for the next of kin, just in case of emergency. If your tour is high altitude trek, you should visit your doctor to get advice on medications for the prevention and treatment of altitude sickness and have a dental checkup at least 2 months before your trip, work on physical fitness as well.

The most popular time for the Bhutan trekking holidays is spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). However, with climate change, seasonal patterns are becoming less predictable. In spring, you can enjoy rhododendron and orchids blossoms, also various flowers in Bhutan. Autumn can bring you beautifully clear views. In winter, Bhutan climate is dry, warm at days, and cold at nights, adding deep blue sky and snow on high passes, so you can choose the low altitude treks. Depends on your request, we, will design a trekking trail to suit you.
