What a special experience to trek part of the new #TransBhutanTrail recently inaugurated by @PMBhutan. The 250-mile historic pilgrimage trail is a unique part of 🇧🇹's cultural heritage! So proud that the Trail’s restoration was led by @BhutanCanada together with @tourismbhutan

The 16th century Trans Bhutan Trail opens to travellers after 60 years with a focus on empowering communities.

@tripalong @kerryawalker @Lorna_Explorer @amymcp_writer @tourismbhutan Hi Nicola! The full trail is 403km from Haa in the West to Trashigang in the East :) We operate a trip which is 36 days in total (includes rest days!)

[Lorna Parkes @Lorna_Explorer]

Along the trail, local people had come out to support the inaugural walk by offering butter tea and apples from their farms. This lovely lot also had some incense on the go.

[Lorna Parkes @Lorna_Explorer]

A troop of monks and a party of youth scouts came along too… The monks had been up since 5am, chanting and making smoke offerings to get the blessings of the spirits that the Bhutanese believe inhabit the forests, rocks and rivers along the #transbhutantrail. Amazing vibes.

[Lorna Parkes @Lorna_Explorer]

The hike was led by the prime minister, Lotay Tshering, who is also a surgeon and as it turns out a very fit man. He beat us all to finish the 10km uphill hike to lunch first, and then put us all to shame by carrying on to Punakha. (That’s a looong way)

[Lorna Parkes @Lorna_Explorer]

After the prince of Bhutan and prime minister arrived, there were prayers, speeches and we all lit butter candles. We then had butter tea and saffron-infused rice before heading out to prepare for a mammoth inaugural group hike (no pics allowed in the temple).

We are so pleased you could join us @Lorna_Explorer

Unbelievable privilege to be here for the official opening of the #transbhutantrail today. The ceremony took place in the inner sanctum of Bhutan’s oldest original fortress. (That’s @amymcp_writer - hiker extraordinaire with me) @TrailBhutan @tourismbhutan

After 60 years, the Trans Bhutan Trail is officially back! It was restored under the patronage of His Majesty The Druk Gyalpo & was today inaugurated by HRH Prince Jigyel Ugyen Wangchuck, Representative of His Majesty The King and President of the Bhutan Olympic Committee.

Yesterday the scouts set off on their journey from Lamgong to Jelela. They were lucky enough to be welcomed and seen off by the Paro Dzongda,
We are keeping the scouts in our prayers as they embark on this once in a lifetime journey on the #transbhutantrail #scoutwalk

[Trans Bhutan Trail @TrailBhutan]

The Scout Walk preparations have begun! 📣📣📣
Yesterday 24 young scouts representing each Dzongkhag and Thromde arrived in Thimphu. As a trial run, they walked the trail from Changangkha Lhakhang to Buddha Point.
