The Duer Hot Spring Trek route falls under old expedition route to Mt. Gangkhar Puensum. The trek is known for its hot springs and best expriance to make it and highly recommended season is March to April and September to early November.
This is one of the most challenging treks in Bhutan.The route partially overlaps with the trail of the legendary Snowman Trek, the most difficult trek in the world. This grueling nine day journey will take you up to the Duer hotsprings, arguably the most beautiful hot springs in the Himalayas.
The trail has numerous steep ascents and descents and ranges from altitudes between 3000-4700m. However, despite the challenge, this trek is well worth the effort as it will take you through some of the most beautiful landscapes in Bhutan.
