Bhutan Snowman Trek

Starting from Punakha, this unique and challenging trek requires three days climbing the steep gorge leading to Laya before crossing the mighty Karakachu La to enter Lunana proper. After spending seven days walking through this 'paradise on earth', the route crosses the Gophu La to explore the valleys south of Gangkar Puensum, which remains the highest unclimbed peak on earth. Seven long days trekking remain to reach the wide-open fertile valleys of Bumthang. Probably one of the most challenging treks in the Himalaya.

The trek goes on northern Bhutan along the border with Tibet crossing thirteen Himalayan mountain passes some as high as 5000m. You will have spectacular mountain views of Jumolhari, Jichu Drake, Masangang, Tiger Mountain and Gangkar Puensum and other conspicuous peaks along the norther border.
