Bhutan Chomolhari Trek - 8 Nights 9 days Tour

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
