Trek to the base of 7316m Chomolhari

Yaks, Western Bhutan
A great eight-day trek (for strong trekkers) to the high pastures of yak-herders and  the memorable Jangothang camp at base of  the imposing Mount Chomolhari (7316 m). This trek packs all the highs of the Himalayas - grand views, high alpine lakes, rich flora of rhododendrons and wild flowers as well as sightings of blue sheep.
