Jakar · Bhutan
The Bumthang Valley at the heart of Bhutan is the most sacred valley in the kingdom, with the Jakar Dzong fortress monastery and the Burning Lake of Mebar Tsho where Pema Lingpa discovered treasure texts hidden by Guru Rinpoche. The Bumthang Cultural Trek passes through apple orchards, buckwheat fields, and ancient temples on a gentle 3-day walk accessible to less experienced trekkers. The Jambay Lhakhang Drub festival in October features fire ceremonies and naked runs.
