Trek ~ ~ This program includes the majestic
Chomolhari Trek and 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 northern Bhutan
