Jomolhari Loop Trek- 11 Days

Trip Introduction

Mt. Jomolhari is renowned as the Goddess Mountain. According to local legend, this peak is the divine home of the five ‘Tsheringma Sisters.’ They appear to have been defending Bhutan’s land and people under Guru Padmasambhava’s commanding promise. The Jomolhari Loop is the shortest of the Jomolhari trekking routes, which are among Bhutan’s most popular. The Majestic Impression of Jomolhari from Jomolhari Base Camp, also known as Jangothang, is one of the trek’s highlights. It has a diverse range of sceneries, wildlife, and vegetation to offer.

You will be exploring Bhutan’s rural life and discovering age-old monasteries and temples on this trek, which is perfect for adventure lovers and nature lovers. The trail from the valley to the foot of Mount Jomolhari, Kanchenjunga’s bride and the kingdom’s third-highest mountain, is a good trekking destination for anyone who enjoys gorgeous mountain sceneries and perspectives.
