1 night Bumdra Trek

1 night 2 days Bumdra Trek

Is there a night trek in Bhutan? Answer: Yes we do provide 1 night 2 days Bumdra cultural trek

Bumdra means ‘Rock of One Hundred Thousand Foot Prints’. The legend tells us that a hundred thousand Dakinis (angels) descended here and left their footprints on the rock 800 years ago.

The Bum Dra trek is one of the most beautiful short duration trek in Bhutan with only one night camping in the wild. But the scenery and landscape may well be worth compared to all of the other treks in terms of the adventure and the experience that goes along as you hike up.
