What fitness level is needed for Bhutan tours?
Many Bhutan tours suit travellers with a moderate fitness level, combining sightseeing with short to moderate walks. Some days, particularly the hike to Tiger’s Nest, involve a longer uphill climb, so it helps to be comfortable on uneven paths and sustained inclines.
