There is very little tourist traffic on the
prestige trekking routes in Bhutan. One has a very pleasant sensation of breathing fresh
ground on treks in Bhutan. |

The Chomolhari trek follows the crystal
clear trout rich upstream trail of Paro Chu, along the verdant rhododendron canopied
forests and salubrious green alpine meadows. Mt. Chomolhari stands at a magnificent 7,314
m, with age old frontier forts and sprawling yak pastures in its foreground. |
