Day 1: Arrival in Paro
Arrive at Paro International Airport and transfer to your hotel. Spend the afternoon discovering Paro’s cultural landmarks, such as Rinpung Dzong and the National Museum, which offer an inspiring introduction to Bhutan’s history and traditions. Surrounded by the calm of the Paro Valley, you can unwind and prepare for your trek. Overnight in Paro.

Day 2: Paro – Taktsang Monastery (Tiger’s Nest)
Start the morning with a hike to the iconic Taktsang Monastery, perched dramatically on a cliffside above the valley. The climb not only helps with acclimatization but also rewards you with sweeping views and a deep appreciation of Bhutan’s spiritual heritage. Explore the monastery’s sacred chambers before returning to Paro for a relaxed evening. Overnight in Paro.

Day 3: Paro – Genekha – Gur (3,290m)
Drive to Genekha to begin the Dagala Trek. The trail leads through terraced fields and pine forests before crossing a river and rising to a rocky viewpoint with broad valley panoramas. Continue upwards through peaceful yak-grazing meadows until you reach Gur, your first campsite at 3,290m.

Day 4: Gur – Labatama (4,300m)
Trek across open highland pastures and gentle ridges dotted with alpine flowers. After crossing a high pass with far-reaching views of Kanchenjunga and other Himalayan peaks, descend into the quiet Labatama Valley. Settle at the campsite beside Utsho Lake at 4,300m, famous for its golden trout.

Day 5: Halt at Labatama (4,300m)
Spend the day exploring the surrounding high-altitude lakes, including Sertsho and Jagetsho, each framed by dramatic mountains. If the weather is favourable, you may hike towards Aum Jomo for spectacular panoramic vistas of the Dagala range. Return to your lakeside campsite for the night.

Day 6: Labatama – Pankha (4,000m)
Cross a scenic saddle that reveals magnificent views of Himalayan summits, including Everest and Kanchenjunga on clear days. The path undulates past yak herder shelters and follows the Docha Chu River before you reach the Pankha campsite at 4,000m. Those trekking in spring may walk slightly farther to find water.

Day 7: Pankha – Chamgang – Thimphu (3,710m to 3,040m)
Begin by traversing several small mountain passes rich with alpine vegetation. Gradually descend from the high ridges into the lower valleys, eventually reaching Chamgang village at 3,040m. Here, your vehicle will meet you for the drive to Thimphu, where you can enjoy a warm, comfortable evening.

Day 8: Departure from Thimphu
Transfer to Paro International Airport for your journey home, carrying with you the peaceful lakes, sweeping ridgelines, and unforgettable scenery that make the Dagala Trek so special. Thank You.
