The Sacred Chomolhari Trek

Trek Bhutan’s Himalayas – wildflowers, white peaks and magnificent Bhutan.

The trek to Chomolhari is a sacred one. In Bhutan, people look at the mountains as some sort of divine power. In Bhutanese, Chomolhari is pronounced Jumolhari and means the heavenly deity of animals. The nomads in the region will not allow any climbing on the mountain. They believe that the deity could be upset and their yaks, sheep and other livestock might perish.

We recommend this trek for alpine flower lovers in the months of June to August. The only disadvantage is some mountain rain. Paro and Thimphu are also part of this journey.
