Jomolhari Trek is the most demanding trek in Bhutan and probably one of the best treks in the world. Jomolhari (7,326 m) straddle on the border of Tibet Autonomous Region and Bhutan that source to Paro Chu River and Amo Chu River. It is a holy mountain for Buddhists and many pilgrimages from Pagri town of Tibet come to a holy lake of Jomo Lharang (5,100 meters) on the northern side. It is also known for the bride of Kanchenjunga. This trek also includes the landmarks of the Paro and Thimphu area.
This exhilarating Jomolhari trek will start from Paro and end in Thimphu. This trip starts with an acclimatization hike to Tiger Nest (Taktsang) in Paro. The first three days will be following the Paro Chu River en route to the remote villages of Paro of scattered farmhouses, paddy filed and orchids. From the base camp of Jangothang (4040 meters), you will see the close-up view of stunning Jomolhari. Besides that, you will have magnificent views of different mountains such as Jichu Drake (6989m) and Tshrim Gang (6789m). The trail gradually descends down toward Thimphu through vegetation and rocky canyons.

- Guiding, Food, and Camping
In Bhutan, all trekking supplies - camping equipment, kitchen implements, food - are all carried by pack animals. Porters are rather unusual in Bhutan with loads usually carted by horses or, in higher regions, yaks. All trekkers are accompanied by a guide, a cook, and usually at least one horseman or yak herder. With the surest footing; they lead trekking groups across the passes. The horseman and cook will usually run ahead during a trekking day. They will have prepared a packed lunch for hikers and will go on to the night’s resting place to set up camp.
They set up tents, cook dinner, and ready the area for arriving trekkers. When trekkers reach the campsite they are greeted with a hot cup of tea and biscuits in the dining tent. After six hours in the mountains, no drink will ever taste sweeter. For dinner, the cook will usually prepare a buffet of dishes that are as welcome as they are delicious.
