BHUTAN TREKKING THE GANTEY - PHUNAKA TREK A tour to Bhutan is always a cultural highlight, especially in combination with the Kathmandu valley, its diverse temples and the old Royal cities of Kathmandu, Patan und Bakhtapur. Bhutan’s Dzongs, Chorten and small villages leave a totally different impression on the visitor. The short but very nice Gantey to Phunaka Trek is a perfect match for this combination of culture and trekking. An interesting tour for those who like to hike, but not for weeks, in the Himalaya.    TYPE OF TRAVEL:  easy to moderate trekking DURATION: 14 days from / to Kathmandu GUIDE: cultural guide and trekking guide SUITABLE FOR: anyone MAXIMUM HEIGHT: 3100 m (Gongona) SERVICE TYPE: Standard (medium high) SUGGESTED PERIOD: September to May PERSONALIZATION: Customizable on request INDIVIDUAL DEPARTURES: Every day on request FIXED DEPARTURES: none   ITINERARY IN BRIEF DAY 01 Arrival in Kathmandu DAY 02 Kathmandu valley DAY 03 Fly Kathmandu - Paro DAY 04 Drive Paro - Thimpu.
