After a 60-year hiatus, the Trans Bhutan Trail is set to finally reopen, now reimagined as an outdoor adventure through the world's first carbon-negative country
July 12, 2022 7:06 AM EDTfter a 60-year hiatus, the Trans Bhutan Trail is set to finally reopen. Since the 16th century, when the 250-mile trek was the only way to travel across Bhutan, the trail has served as a pilgrimage route for Buddhists, running from Haa in the west to Trashigang in the east. Now it has been reimagined as an outdoor adventure through the world’s first carbon-negative country.
The Royal Government of Bhutan, Tourism Council of Bhutan, and Bhutan Canada Foundation combined forces to oversee the restoration of 18 major bridges, 10,000 stairs, and hundreds of miles of pathways. Intrepid travelers can hike, bike, and camp through the lush meadows and dense forests of nine, two municipalities, parts of Phrumsengla National Park, and more than 400 historic sites.
A portion of the $200 minimum daily package charge paid to the government of Bhutan by international travelers visiting the trail is applied to sustainable development efforts, such as environmental conservation, social welfare, cultural promotion, and improving infrastructure.
