Jomolhari Trekking
The Jomolhari Trekking leads to Jangothang, the Jomolhari Base Camp. With altitude differences of 2300m and nearly 5000m (lowest and highest point of the route) it offers a wide range of landscape and fauna and flora. The highlight of this trek is the spectacular view of Mount Jomolhari (7315m). This trek requires that trekkers are in very good physical condition as it includes many walking hours and the crossing of two high mountain passes.
