Snowman
Trek II (to Bumthang) |
|
The Snowman Trek is an
extension of the beautiful
Laya Gasa Trek, and leads
from Laya further into the
high altitudes of the
Bhutanese Himalayas. It
takes tough and enduring
trekkers into the Lunana
region and further on to
Gangkhar Puensum and
Bumthang or down to Sephu in
Trongsa district, depending
on which route you choose.
The Snowman trek leads
through the most remote
areas up to very high
altitudes. Trekkers have to
camp in altitudes above
5,000m more than once, and
depending on the seasonal
temperatures, the camps are
sometimes on snow. |
