This spectacular 30-day adventure in Bhutan begins
with the 24-day Snowman trek into one of the country's
most remote valleys. This is probably one of the hardest
high altitude treks, but an incredible experience
for anyone who takes the challenge. Bhutan's pristine
landscape, wonderful people and fascinating Buddhist
culture provide the ingredients for a memorable journey
into one of the world's most remote kingdoms. Traveling
into the Lunana district the Snowman trek is so named
for the six mountains over 7000 metres (23,100 ft.
) which the trek passes beneath. Crossing nine passes
over 4500m (15,850 ft. ) makes this not only one of
the highest altitute treks, but also one of the most
challenging. Starting in Drukgyel Dzong after a short
drive from Paro, we will set out heading directly
towards Jhomolhari at 7314m (24,135 ft. ) the third
highest peak in Bhutan. Following the Paro Chhu river
valley up into the mountains will be a prelude to
the magnificent high altitude trekking which follows.
Passing Buddhist monasteries and small villages we
will witness a land unchanged for hundreds of years.
By placing a strong emphasis on preserving its natural
and cultural history, Bhutan has an aura of authenticity
which engages your heart and mind while trekking.
Glide past blue pine, juniper and rhododendron forests,
and look for the famous Himalayan blue sheep, bearded
vultures and Himalayan griffons flying overhead. After a strenuous but tremendously rewarding 25 days
of trekking we will turn our attention to learning
more about Bhutan's cultural heritage and Buddhist
traditions as we cross the middle of Bhutan, known
as the Inner Himalaya visiting Bumthang, Punakha,
and Thimphu.
