Altitide & Driving Distance in Bhutan

Bhutan altitude is higher than most traveler travelled from. So the altitude sickness is rare for the traveler who is doing cultural tours. It is generally below 2500 mtrs and 3000 mtrs sometime only when you cross the passes. But the trekker it starts from 3000mtrs and goes up to 5000mtrs. We suggest traveler to do hike or trek only after your few days stay in Bhutan to acclimatize your body with Bhutan climates.

We urge all the trekkers if incase you are felling altitude sickness, don’t ever try to go further, immediately advise your trek guide to descent downhill and drink plenty of fluids and inform to concern office as early as possible.
