Chomolhari Bhutan trek

 Bhutan, the Land of the Thunder Dragon, is a mystical and medieval kingdom situated along the southern slopes of the Himalaya range between India and Tibet. Here the Buddhist culture remains largely untouched by the outside world where people and nature coexist in a sacred balance. We’ve combined a world-class Himalayan trek to Chomolhari (24,000’), the Mountain Goddess, with a cultural immersion unique to Bhutan. We trek to over 16,000’ (Bhonte La) visiting remote villages, learning about the traditional lifestyles of yak-herders and highland farmers. Bring your camera as Bhutan’s ecosystem of valleys and mountains, virgin forests and crystal lakes is unsurpassed in its pristine beauty. This tiny kingdom is a unique blend of the old and the new – it is a hidden country slowly opening up to the modern world but with a keen balance of its rich traditions. Explore ancient monasteries clinging to cliff sides, ornate temples and colorful fortresses (dzongs) – all this, while enjoying superb mountain scenery. Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime trek!
