Cascading down from the eastern Himalaya of Bhutan , the Drangme Chhu challenges us with up to Class IV+ whitewater amidst dramatic mountain scenery. Our adventure spans Bhutan from Paro in the west, crossing several high passes, culminating in our put-in on the Drangme Chhu in the east. Enjoy both hotel stays and camping with hearty, delectable local cuisine. Discover the well-kept secret that is the “Land of the Thunder Dragon.”
