Dive into Adventure: Water Activities in Bhutan

While renowned for its majestic mountains and serene monasteries, Bhutan also offers a range of exciting water activities for adventure seekers.

River Rafting:

Bhutan’s pristine rivers carve through stunning landscapes, offering thrilling whitewater rafting experiences. The Mo Chhu river is popular for both beginners and experienced rafters, with rapids ranging from Class II to IV.

Kayaking:

Explore the tranquil beauty of Bhutan’s waterways by kayak. Paddle along the Punakha River, surrounded by lush greenery and ancient dzongs, or venture into hidden lakes for a peaceful escape.

Fishing:

For angling enthusiasts, Bhutan boasts several rivers teeming with native fish species like the Himalayan Mahseer and Brown Trout. Obtain the necessary permits from the Department of Forests and Park Services before casting your line.

Tips:

• Best time to visit: The monsoon season (June-August) brings heavy rainfall and makes some rivers unsuitable for rafting. Opt for the drier months (September-May) for optimal water conditions.
• Safety first: Choose reputable tour operators with experienced guides and prioritize safety gear.
• Respect the environment: Leave no trace behind and avoid disturbing wildlife habitats.
