CHOMOLHARY TREK 18 DAY TRIP -
MODERATE
This is without doubt one of the most beautiful and
unspoilt trekking areas in the entire Himalayas.The trip
begins in Paro, gateway to Bhutan and set in a wide
valley dotted with traditional dwellings and terraced
farms, watched over by the great Paro Dzong (monastery
Fort). From here you head up valley where the trek
begins. You will follow the waters of the Paro chu river
up through forests of pine and juniper and into high
alpine meadows for stunning views of Mt. Chomolhari
(7316m) and Jichu Drake (6797m). This is wild country
and its quite possible that you will see the rare blue
sheep or bharal. From here the trek heads north-east to
the village of Lingshi (3800m). The Lingshi Dzong is
over 600 years old. It was built by a Lama for purely
monastic purposes but due to its strategic position it
soon became one of the strong holds against invading
Tibetan armies.
From Lingshi you then head down along ancient trails and
through un-touched forests to reach Thimphu, Bhutan's
tiny capital and the concluding point for the trek.
There will be time here to see the sights, notably to
massive and imposing Tashichho Dzong. Bhutan's seat of
power. Then you will return to Paro where the trip
concludes.
