Outdoor recreation in Bhutan is deeply connected to its rugged, mountainous landscape.
* **Trekking:** Bhutan offers some of the world's most spectacular and challenging treks. The *Snowman Trek* is notoriously difficult, taking nearly a month to complete. Shorter, popular routes include the *Druk Path Trek* and the *Jomolhari Trek*. * **Archery:** As the national sport, archery is a pervasive recreational activity. Villages across the country have archery ranges, and matches are festive events filled with singing, dancing, and friendly taunting. * **Rafting and Kayaking:** The clear, glacial rivers of Punakha (Pho Chhu and Mo Chhu) offer excellent whitewater rafting and kayaking. * **Cycling:** Mountain biking is rapidly growing in popularity, with scenic dirt roads and challenging mountain passes providing world-class routes.
