Volunteering & Donation

Volunteer

Volunteers are at the heart of the Trans Bhutan Trail. There are many opportunities for individuals to contribute, giving back to the trail and surrounding communities. 

Activities such as keeping the footpath clear of overgrowth, trail reroutes, building and repairing structures and bridges, and caring for overnight sites are a few of the many projects that require ongoing attention. As well, please consider helping with membership opportunities, supporting festivals and events and contributing to building the trail community in Bhutan and around the globe.  

These activities will occur throughout the year, and the Trans Bhutan Team will coordinate this work, as well as facilitate training. 

We are looking for individuals who have all levels of experience. Please note that the volunteer program is self-funded.

International Volunteers: Due to COVID-19 restrictions we are not able to offer trail volunteer expeditions currently. Opportunities will be shared through the Trans Bhutan Trail newsletter. If you have specific skills you wish to share, please email info.transbhutantrail@gmail.com.
