~ ~ Mountains Majesty - The Chomolhari Trek ~ ~

sightseeing of the Paro, Thimphu, Punakha, Wangdi and Gantey Valleys. This is a superb
trek for strong walkers offering glimpses of a wide variety of terrains and landscapes
with the highest altitude about 16,050 feet. Beginning at Drukgyel Dzong, climbing
gradually through farms and rice terraces, into meadows and low forests, and up beyond the
treeline into a world of glaciers and rock. Campsites are in high alpine pastures where
yak herders bring their shaggy herds to graze near pristine mountain lakes. It goes into
