4000 Nomadic Bhutan Merak Sakteng Tour Package | Mystery
Overview
This bhutan merak sakteng tour package reaches the far eastern edge of the country, where the Brokpa community has lived as semi-nomadic yak herders for generations. The route runs Paro to Trongsa to Mongar to Trashigang before the road ends and the trek into Merak begins. Day 5 continues on to Sakteng, both villages sitting inside the Sakteng Wildlife Sanctuary. The Brokpa wear distinctive red-tasseled yak-wool hats daily, not for tourists but because the highland weather calls for them. This bhutan merak sakteng tour package treats the long drive east as part of the journey, not a delay before it.
Bon Voyagers manages the ground programme for this bhutan merak sakteng tour package from arrival at Paro International Airport. A private vehicle covers the road sections between Paro, Trongsa, Mongar and Trashigang, switching to porter and pony support once the trek into Merak begins. Seven nights of accommodation on double sharing basis include hotel stays along the road and camping for two nights at Merak and Sakteng, with meals included throughout on a full board basis during the trek and MAP basis elsewhere. The per person cost of this bhutan merak sakteng tour package is โน35,100.
