Trip Overview

Chomolhari is Bhutan's deeply venerated guardian peak. It rises on the Tibet-Bhutan border near the major trade route from India into Tibet's Phari Valley. In 1939, from a pass above Phari, F. Spencer Chapman, the mountain's first climber, saw Chomolhari and it's companion peak, magnificent Jitchu Drake. "Chomolhari gives a greater impression of sheer height and inaccessibility than any other mountain I know", he wrote in Living Dangerously. "It drops in a series of almost vertical rock precipices to the foothills beneath. It is thought by many to be the most beautiful mountain in the whole length of the Himalaya."

The best times to embark on the Chomolhari Trek are between March-June or September-November.

Trip Highlights:

Get spectacular views of snow-capped mountains like Mt. Chomolhari, Jichu Drake and others
Hike to famous Taktsang monastery
Discover culture, tradition, art and lifestyle of Bhutanese in depth
Sightseeing around numerous Dzongs, monasteries, temples, palaces, museums and art centers

Itinerary

Day 2 | Paro sightseeing

Taktsang, or the Tiger’s Nest Temple, is the most revered temple to the Buddhist. This magical temple clings to a vertical granite cliff 800m above the valley. Legend has it that in the 8th century, Guru Rimpochey, a tantric master, flew here on the back of a tigress and meditated in a cave around which the temple is built. A hike to this temple will take up most of our morning. In the afternoon, we will host a special Buddhist prayer ceremony at the beautiful 1200-year-old Kyichu Lhakhang Temple to bring us good luck for the rest of the journey.
