The Zhabto programme involved work along the Lotus-Born Trail, following the historic route taken by Guru Rinpoche from southern Bhutan to Bumthang in the eighth century, as well as along the Mindfulness Trail. Activities also included environmental and site development at highway corridors, parks, wetlands, and river areas within the GMC.
