CHOMOLHARI TREK (12 days)

This trek is one of the most popular trek in Bhutan that endows you with great variety of
Bhutanese landscape and is without doubt, one of the most beautiful & unspoiled trekking areas
in the entire Himalayas.

On this 12 day trek you not just embrace an amazing opportunity to trek the hotspots of Bhutan
but also get to feast on an incredible diversity of mountains and ecosystems. A hike to Takstang
Monastery provides ample acclimatization for a delightful trek from Drugyal dzong towards
campsite at Shana (2800 m) and thereon to Soi, Thangthangkha and then to Jangothang. A rest
day in Jangothang acclimatizes you completely for further trek to Lingshi, Shodu, Barshong
and finally to Dodina.

Along the trekking trail, nature scintillates you with its lush forests of pine, oak, rhododendron,
juniper, bamboo and spruce, Pachu River gracing down the majestic landscape, outstanding
views of Chomolhari (7320 m), Jichu Drake (6900m) and Tshrim Khang, cliffs overlooking
stunning views of cascading waterfalls, yak pastures and trout-fishing sites. If you get lucky, you
may get to spot rare fauna like blue sheep and snow leopard. Eventually, after insightful
sightseeing in Thimpu you bade your farewell to Bhutan with indelible trekking experience,
photographs and mementos that intimately bond you to Bhutan and its people throughout your
lifetime.
