Bhutan Chomlohari Trek is perhaps one of the best and most challenging treks in Bhutan. The trek is entirely a camping trek and passes through some of the most remote, isolated mountain terrain of Bhutan.

The trekking trail touches the pristine wilderness of Bhutan, covering Paro Chu valley and Jigme Dorji National Park. Walk through the forests of pine, oak, and Rhododendron that are home to much wildlife, including the takin, the national animal of Bhutan. You will cross three highest Himalayan passes of Bhutan, namely, Dochu La Pass (3100m), Bonte la (4900m), Takang La pass (4500m), each offering great views of Jomolhari (7326m), Gungkhar Puensum (7570m), Jitchu Drake (6800m) etc. Hike up to Chomolhari Base Camp (4050m) for breathtaking views of Mt. Chomolhari and explore blue Tsophu Lakes and Mo Chu and Po Chu rivers.

Trekking aside this program also gives you a chance to pass through the three cities of Paro, Thimphu and Punakha allowing you visit Tatksang Monastery, Rimpung Dzong, National Library, Punakha Dzong mothers.
