The Chilila Nature Trek is a 7-day trek in the Paro Valley of Bhutan. It is a moderate trek that offers stunning views of the Himalayas, including Mount Chomolhari, the “Divine Mountain of the Goddess”. The trek starts in the town of Paro and ascends through pine forests and rhododendron meadows to the Chilila Pass (12,150 ft/3,700 m). From the pass, there are panoramic views of the Paro Valley, the Ha Valley, and the surrounding mountains.
The trail then descends to the village of Lower Mingula, where you can stay overnight in a traditional Bhutanese homestay. On the final day of the trek, you hike back to Paro.
The best time to go on the Chilila Nature Trek is during the spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October), when the weather is mild and clear. The trek is not suitable for beginners, as it requires a good level of fitness.
