Silent Walk in Bhutan

Each Travira journey lists a fitness level — easy, moderate, or challenging — along with a typical daily walking distance. If you walk regularly and are in normal health, most of our journeys are accessible. The challenging ones (like Patagonia) require honest preparation. We are happy to talk you through it before you book.

Weather is part of every journey, and we plan for it rather than around it. The right gear is provided where the climate calls for it (Arctic, Patagonia). For most destinations, layering and a good rain shell are enough. We rarely cancel a day for weather — we change its shape.

Tell us when you book and we adapt. Vegetarian is straightforward almost everywhere we go. Strict vegan, gluten-free, or serious allergies need a few weeks of notice so we can brief our hosts properly. We will never put you in a situation where you cannot eat safely.

Yes, and many travellers do. We can suggest places to stay or onward routes — though we do not handle bookings outside the journey itself. The week is yours to lengthen as you wish.

Cancellations made more than 60 days before departure receive a full refund. Between 30 and 60 days, half is refunded. Within 30 days, no refund is possible — we have already paid our hosts and held your place. We strongly recommend travel insurance for this reason.

We keep groups small (6–12), which helps. Travellers come because they share a temperament — slower, quieter, more curious than competitive. We have hosted hundreds of journeys and the groups, almost without exception, settle into easy company by the second day.
