Plan this journeyThe story
The mountain gives back the pace you bring to it.
In Bhutan, a trail is rarely only a way through the landscape. It links pasture to village, monastery to valley, and effort to a clearer kind of attention.
The Tiger’s Path balances purposeful walking with warm lodges, generous meals, and time to understand the places beneath your boots.
