Jomolhari the second highest mountain in Bhutan


It takes two days to reach Jomolhari base camp, Jangothang from Paro, which are the most popular treks in Bhutan. With altitude differences of 2,500m and nearly 5,000m it offers a wide range of landscapes, fauna and flora. The highlight of this trek is the spectacular view of Mount Jomolhari from Jomolhari Basecamp (Jangothang). Trekkers who want to avoid high passes and high altitude can choose an easier version of the Jomolhari Loop by retracing their steps from Jangothang , while still having the majestic impressions of Mount Jomolhari.The trail leads to a last settlement in the valley and drops to the Paro Chhu. Passing the lake of Tshophu (4,380m) you will climb up steeply to Bhonte La pass at 4,890 m, the highest point of this trek route. It takes two to three hours to reach Tshophu Twin Lake from Jangothang base camp. You can either trek towards Soi Yaksa or move back to Jangothang.The highlight of this trek is the spectacular view of Mount Jumolhari and Jichu Drakey while trekking towards the twin lake (Tshophu).
