My name is Raymond van Driel,
I live in the Netherlands and I'm a repeat customer
of Peace Nepal Treks (P) Ltd.
In 2002 my girlfriend and I and two friends
wanted to do the Manaslu Circuit Trek in Nepal.
We emailed a few trekking companies in Nepal
but Peace Nepal Treks (p) Ltd. Raymond van Driel, Netherland
TREK RATING – Moderate
SEASON – March, April, May, June,
September, October & November
DURATION
22 days / 21 nights
Highlights: This is one of
the treks that will always rank as one of Bhutan’s
finest treks. The route offers fantastic mountain
views at close range including Mt. Gangchey
Ta (tiger mountain), mother of the female river
flowing through Punakha valley. Renowned for
its diversity in Himalayan flora and fauna.
Numerous isolated dzongs and scattered settlements
including the outlandish village of Laya, a
unique culture of its own provide a great deal
of cultural interest. Though remote, the Laya
region is known for its hospitality and your
time here will be delightful. The trek will
end with a dip at the Gasa Tshachu (hot spring)
relaxing every bone in your body and the memories
of the special trek will stay with you for a
lifetime.
