“This is a superb eight-day trek. This classic trekking route cuts through dense, lush forests and ascends into the lofty realm above tree line, home of yak herders. We skirt the Bhutanese-Tibetan border near the foot of sacred Chomolhari (7315m/23,995 ft), the second highest mountain in Bhutan. There are fabulous views of the mountains and exceptional flora. The trek offers a taste of the great variety of Bhutanese landscape. A memorable camp is at Jangothang, the base of Mt. Chomolhari.”
