Preparing for a retreat in Bhutan
The Land of the Thunder Dragon is one of the most beautiful yet remote and inaccessible countries in the world. So whether you’re going on a short hike in the lowlands or challenging yourself to an epic high-altitude trek, you need to prepare yourself for the raw wilderness and harsh conditions that any traveller to Bhutan faces.
Before the trip, be sure to evaluate your fitness level and check with your doctor whether the trek suits your health conditions. If you’re attempting a high-altitude trek (anything above 2,440m (8,000 ft), it’s a good idea to go for a mountaineering consultation at an altitude centre if there is one near you. These centres often conduct hypoxic training sessions where you will have the opportunity to exercise in oxygen-reduced air.
It is advisable to bring your own technical gear for trekking to ensure it meets your particular needs. It is simply not worth skimping on quality boots or using makeshift walking sticks. If you have made the effort to travel halfway around the world, don’t allow your ambitions to be destroyed by the wrong gear.
Due to the altitude, it can be cold in the Bhutanese mountains even in the summer; make sure you have equipped yourself with quality clothing. Like they say, “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.”
