Bhutan Jumolhari Trek

Bhutan Jumolhari Circuit trek is a strenuous trek in the Kingdom of Bhutan. We have combined this trek with some cultural trip in Paro and Thimphu. Here we will visit some famous Dzongs, Chortens, National Museum and monastery. Whereas the classic 9 days Jumolhari Circuit trek starts from Drukgyal Dzong, Paro and finishes at Dodena near Thimphu. From Jangothang you can have a spectacular view of Mt. Jumolhari 7,314 m which is the highest peak of Bhutan. It crosses two high passes from Jangothang and makes its way to the capital of Bhutan, Thimphu. The route passes through scattered hamlets and farmland, into a deep and richly forested valley, which further leads to a high alpine pasture land where yak herders graze their animals. 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. Jumolhari Circuit trek also offers a great variety of Bhutanese landscape. You might also have a chance to see the blue-sheep, Takin and wide variety of birds.
