The Chelela Nature Trek is a short, yet magnificent high altitude trek in Bhutan. It offers the panorama of high snow-capped mountains, and superb views of the Haa and Paro Valleys. The highest point on this trek is about 4,250 meters from where you can see 360-degree views of the mountains.

The trek goes over the mighty ridges from the Haa to Paro valleys and it eventually ends at the highest pass in Bhutan that is accessible to motor vehicles: Chelela Pass (3890 meters). One great advantage of this gorgeous trek is that it attracts very few trekkers because the route is not known by many in Bhutan.

We can arrange this trek during almost all seasons, except in the winter months of December-February when it is too cold and the trails of icy. Even the video-link here shows a summer trek which we arranged for our first Japanese guests, Nagase San and his wife. We are grateful that they shared their short video with us.
