THE NABJI TRAIL OVERVIEW
16 Days
A unique winter trek in Bhutan
This new trek offers everything that makes Bhutan special. An added advantage: no other trekkers! A post-harvest (November – April) six day low-altitude Winter trek (1000 – 1500 meters) through ecological rich environment that traverses through the home of the Monpa people- the earliest settlers in Bhutan. Witness a cultural history, dating back to the 8th century, as you visit the small traditional villages of the Monpa community, a unique tribal group who continue to practice Shamanism and Buddhism today. You may even catch a glimpse of one of the World’s rarest primates, the endangered Golden Langur, which can only be found in Bhutan and neighboring Assam. Most tour dates allow for attendance to one of the many colorful festivals that are celebrated in this region.
