Chomolhari Trek |
 |
|
|
There is very little
tourist on the pristine trekking routes in
Bhutan. This is primarily a positive off
shot of the Bhutanese Government's
policulimiting tourist to four thousand a
year. Naturally one has the pleasant
sensation of breaking fresh ground on treks
in Bhutan. The Chomolhari trek follows the
crystal clear trout rich upstream trail of
Paro Chulalong the verdant Rhododendron
canopied forest and salubrious green alpine
meadows. Mt. Chomolhari, having one of the
most beautiful peaks in East |
 |
|
Himalayas, stands at a
magnificent 7300 m with age old frontier
forts and sprawling, yak pastures in its
foreground a truly rewarding sight for
determined trekers. In the course if the
trek, one will have sojourned through
several places rich in history in Paro,
Thimpu and Punkha Valley. |
