A gentler trek through Bumthang's sacred valleys and remote farming villages, bookended by the western circuit.
Bumthang is considered Bhutan's spiritual heartland, and this route earns that reputation on foot — three days of trekking between village temples and a night in the remote settlement of Ugyenchholing, framed by a full western-circuit tour on either end.
