Trip Description

One of Bhutan’s most popular trek, it offers spectacular views of 7314m high Jumolhari, its companion Jitchu Drake, Tserim Kang and the adjoining peaks. Mt. Jhomolhari is spelt as Chomolhari, Jumolhari or Jomolhari but they are all the same. Bhutan’s deeply venerated guardian peak, rises on the Tibet-Bhutan border near the major ancient trade route from India into Tibet’s Phari Valley. It is thought by many to be the most beautiful mountain in the whole length of the Himalayas. The trek passes through Bhutan’s little-visited villages, valley’s and forests, with opportunities to see blue sheep, along with a huge variety of bird life. In the spring, Rhododendrons, Azaleas, and masses of wildflowers carpet the high meadows, and pear and apple trees blossom in the valleys. In the fall, rice paddies ripen to a golden brown, and Yak herders bring their charges down from high summer pastures.
