The Jomolhari (or Chomolhari) basecamp trek is a circular trek that begins right from your hotel in Paro. It's a relatively short, moderately-challenging trek of approximately 47 miles (75 kilometres) and takes about seven to nine days to complete.
During this short, high-altitude trek you’ll enjoy marvellous views of the Jomolhari and Jichu Drake peaks, as well as alpine meadows and dense forests. The terrain includes rocky paths, steep ascents and descents.
The trek also offers glimpses into Bhutan's history. Along the way, you'll encounter remote villages where traditional Bhutanese culture thrives and you can meet locals, gaining insight into their way of life.
You'd be hard-pressed to call anywhere in Bhutan 'touristy' but Jomolhari's location as meeting point of several treks makes it busier than elsewhere in the country.
