Jumolhari Base Camp Trek II

This is a 7-day trek from Paro to Jumolhari base camp at Jangothang, returning via the same route or by an alternative trail to Paro. The view of Jumolhari mountain (7,314 m) from Jangothang is spectacular. This trek also affords an excellent opportunity to see yaks…

This trek starts at Paro, following the Pachu ( Paro River ) upstream literally to its source passing 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. Besides, Mt. Jumolhari and its adjoining range have impressed visitors to admit as one of the most beautiful peak. The trek offers a taste of great variety of Bhutanese landscape.
