While the actual duration of the trek is only for three days, the entire program is for a period of 13 nights or 14 days.
This 3-day trek is named so because of the numerous cultural opportunities trekkers will get compared to other treks in Bhutan. Trekkers may visit villages and temples and meet the locals there. Though it is short, the Bumthang trek is strenuous because it involves a climb to Phephe La (3360 m).
