Bhutan Jumolhari Trek

Bhutan Jhomolhari Circuit trek is a classic 9 days trip to Mt. Jhomolhari Base camp which is in the beautiful region of Lingshi. This trek provides a great variety of Bhutanese landscape with fantastic view of Mt. Jhomolhari 7,314 m . Trek starts from Drukgyal Dzong, Paro and finishes at Dodena near Thimphu. Jhomolhari Circuit trek passes through scattered hamlets and farmland into a deep and richly forested valley, which leads to a high alpine pastureland where yak herders graze their animals. It crosses two high passes from Jangothang and makes its way to the capital of Bhutan, Thimphu. In the spring Jhomolhari trek becomes more colorful as rhododendrons, azaleas, and masses of wildflowers carpet the high meadows whereas during fall, rice paddies ripen to a golden brown. You might also have an opportunity to see the blue-sheep, Takin and wide variety of birds. This trek is good for experienced trekkers and the best time to undertake this trek is around October. Besides the above trek you will also have an opportunity to visit some of the interesting Dzongs, Museum in an around Paro and Thimphu.
