Now you’ll embark on a series of treks across one of the most inaccessible and beautiful regions of the world. On Day One you’ll start from Ta Dzong museum and hike past working farms, before climbing through forests of blue pine and fir to Damche Gom. Walking up to the ridge below Jele Dzong will bring you to your campsite for the night. Pack horses will carry your bags into camp whilst you admire views across the Paro Valley to Mount Jumolhari and the snow-capped peaks of the Bhutanese Himalayas.
Day Two is a trek towards Mount Jumolhar, through dense alpine and rhododendron forests. Along the way, you may meet yak herders camping in their traditional woven yak hair tents.
Day Three continues the theme of outstanding mountain and valley views with the imposing summit of Jichu Drake (6,989m) in the background. You’ll pitch camp at an altitude of almost 4,000 metres, close to Jimilang Tsho Lake, home of giant trout.
Day Four takes you past dwarf rhododendron trees and Janetso Lake, whilst meeting yak herders will give you a rare insight into their ancient, nomadic way of life. You’ll camp at 4,110 metres, close to Simkotra Tsho Lake.
