TREKKING IN BHUTAN
22 MULTI-DAY TREKS INCLUDING THE JHOMOLHARI,
DRUK PATH, LUNANA AND DAGALA TREKS
About the Author
Originally from the Netherlands, Bart Jordans has been guiding and explor-
ing treks and (trekking) peaks in the Himalayas, Karakorams, Hindu Kush,
European Alps, Kilimanjaro, Damavand in Iran, Simien mountains of Ethiopia
and Moroccan Atlas mountains since 1984. He has also led treks in Bhutan
since 1994, and took the opportunity of getting to know the Bhutan Himalayas
in greater depth when he lived in the country with his family for four and a half
years from 1999. His appreciation of the beauty of the Bhutan Himalayas and
its people encouraged him to write a trekking guidebook to share his great love
for this part of the eastern Himalayas.
Besides writing this guide Bart has contributed chapters to several other
Himalayan trekking books and produced the first ever trekking map of Bhutan.
