Mt. Chomolhari Base / Treks

Bhutan

High above the treeline, the sacred white pyramid of Chomolhari rears against the sky — 7,300 metres of unclimbed, snow-clad mountain that has never known a human footprint on its summit.

Among the finest treks in Bhutan, the Chomolhari trek leads deep into the high Himalaya to the base of a peak the Bhutanese hold sacred. The trail climbs through blue-pine forest and open yak pastures, past fluttering prayer flags and the stone ruins near Jangothang, where Chomolhari base camp opens onto staggering views of the mountain and its neighbour Jichu Drake. Along the way you may spot blue sheep on the high slopes and share tea with semi-nomadic herders in their black yak-hair tents. Cold, clear nights bring vast starfields. For those drawn to trekking in Bhutan, the Jomolhari trek Bhutan is among the most rewarding of all. Plan your route via the official Bhutan Tourism portal: bhutan.travel.

April to June and September to October, when stable weather and clear skies make the high passes safest and the mountain views sharpest.

This is a demanding high-altitude route reaching above 4,000 metres, so build in acclimatisation days, book through a licensed Bhutanese operator as trekking requires guides and permits, and pack for sub-zero nights even in season — the shorter Jomolhari base camp trek loop suits those with less time.

This attraction can be easily woven into BreakBag Holidays' customised Bhutan tour packages, pairing the Chomolhari trek with Paro's dzongs, temples and valley sights.
