This
is a superb 8-day trek for strong walkers. Starting
from Paro it goes into northern Bhutan to the
land of yak-herders and to the base of Mount
Cholomhari (7,316 meters / 24,000 feet), which
is the most holy mountain for the Bhutanese.
From there the trek goes on to remote Lingshi
Dzong which once guarded the frontier with Tibet
. This trek offers fabulous views of the mountains
including Chomolhari, Jitchu Draake and Tsheringkhang
mountains besides stunning Himalayan scenery
and exceptional flora. You will encounter many
yak-herders with their hairy wards and their
camps but few villages. The maximum altitude
gained is 4,900 meters (16,000 feet).
