Known as some of the most beautiful treks in the Himalayas, the Snowman trek and Jomolhari base camp trek traverse along the Bhutan and Tibet border, passing unclimbed peaks and remote valleys. These stunning treks give you an opportunity to see snow capped mountains, turquoise-tinted lakes, pristine forests, ancient monasteries, and semi-nomadic villages.

The Snowman trek begins with a short drive from Paro at Drukgyel Dzong, heading towards Jomolhari base camp, the third highest peak in Bhutan. Pass Bhutanese monasteries and alpine grasslands to visit the northern most settlement in Bhutan, Laya. Continue crossing numerous high passes to make your way towards Lunana valley, a seldom-visited community living among glaciers. Immersed in the natural beauty of Bhutan, witness Himalayan blue sheep, bearded vultures, and rhododendron forests. After completing 25 days of strenuous but rewarding trekking, return by road to visit the cultural heritage sites of Punakha and Thimphu, before returning to Paro for your final night in the Kingdom of Bhutan.

As a shorter option, the 12 day Jomolhari base camp trek offers travelers a breathtaking experience through some of the most beautiful and unspoiled trekking areas in the entire Himalayas.  This trek takes you through the gateway of the Snowman trek, passing beautiful villages, scattered hamlets and farmland. Vegetation zones differ from richly forested valleys to high alpine pastureland where Yak herders graze their animals. Trout fishing in the sky blue lake with magnificent views of three majestic peaks are some activities which can be done on a rest day. You will also encounter rare species like the blue sheep, and with any luck, possibly even the snow leopard!
