| A Trek To Be Explored: The
Snowman Trek |
| The snowman trek is 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. |
