This is the trekking with a mixture of
snow capped Himalayas, alpine grassland, quaint farmland
and numerous passes including the highest pass of
Bhutan—the Renchen Zoe—at an altitude of 5400meter. The
trek comprises approximately eleven passes from Punakha
to Bumthang. The trek is a blend of Laya (Punakha
valley), Lunana (a very remote part), Renchen Zoe pass,
and several other exciting parts of Bhutan. As some
passes are even over 5000meter, a trekker needs to be
physically fit and it requires sound health. Before we
begin the trek, heavy initial preparation is a must. The
close views of Himalayas exert bone-chilling experience.
The other remarkable views are the wide green pastures,
meadows with different varieties of blossoms from spring
to autumn including summer season. The rocky passes and
Himalayas are the scenic beauties of the country to
watch. |
