The imposing, rounded bulk of the Jumolhari Mountain fills the view to the Northeast and in the evening the profile of the ruined Jangothang Dzong, populated by huge ravens creates a mystical atmosphere. The altitude at the base camp is 4,000m and is a beautiful place to spend the night. It will take less then four hours to reach Jangothang, Base Camp. The Pachu River is again to the right and the trail passes through some very small villages. This matter will be taken care of by your guide.
When you reach the army outpost you are required to stop and register your entry permits issued by the army headquarters in Thimphu. The third day’s trek is a short one so it is possible to set off a little later and progress at a leisurely pace. Mount Jumolhari, at 7326, is among the world’s highest mountains.Īltitude: 3,580m/4000m (Total Altitude Gain: 420m), The view of early morning sun striking the tip of Jumolhari is breathtaking. The camp site is located in spacious clearing and directly faces Mount Jumolhari. Finally, after an 8 hours walk, you reach the campsite. Beyond, in the distance, at the end of the valley the Jumolhari Mountain comes into view. Not long before reaching the campsite the trail leads you up a ridge with a chorten. Several trails leads in other directions, such as the trail to Tremo la, which was the old salt-trading route to Tibet. The lunch break comes after about 4 hours of walking through an ever-narrowing valley: Shing Karap or Thombuzam are popular stopping places at around 3,305m. There are several simple wooden bridges to cross and sometimes the river reaches right up to the trail. Though the trail is rocky and bumpy path, it is not strenuous but in rainy conditions it can be quite muddy. The trail continues to follow the river gradually ascending through a mixed forest of blue pine and oak and, later in the afternoon, tall rhododendron trees, birch, fir and maple. This is the longest trekking day, taking eight hours to reach the campsite. Level of Difficulty: Long but not difficult, Muddy and bumpy path. Two traditional houses on the other side of the wide, fast-flowing river make up Shana village.Īltitude: 2,820m/3,580m (Total Alitude Gain: 760m), The campsite at Shana, just beyond, is situated at an altitude of 2,820m in a beautiful open space surrounded by blue pine forest.
