Bhutan, a landlocked tiny Himalayan Kingdom with its predominantly Buddhist population and ancient traditions still intact is a rare treat for the senses.The Jomolhari or Chomolhari (7326m) which translates to the "Mountain of the Goddess" straddles the border between Tibet and Bhutan.It is believed to be the abode of one of 'the five sisters of Long Life - Five Tsheringma Sisters' who have been bound by oath by Guru Padmasambhava to protect the land, the Buddhist faith and the local people.
The Jomolhari Basecamp trek with the right mix of mountains, glaciers, stunning forests and grassy meadows is a great choice if you have a craving for a quick moderate trek with awesome views. The trip begins with acclimatization coupled with sightseeing in Thimpu and Paro Valleys followed by the trek starting from Drugkyel Dzong, an ancient fortress cum monastery which lies in ruins.
The trail which initially passes through farmlands then leads into forests comprising of a variety of tall trees. The landscape soon merges into grassy meadows filled with juniper and rhododendrons leading to Jangothang , the base of the Jomolhari. But this isn’t the last stop; we now proceed via the twin lakes of Tsho Phu and climb to Bonte La (4890m) where the breathtaking beauty of the valley will fill your hearts with joy. For the final leg of the trek, we go over the Thombu La pass and join the original trail near Jigme Dorje National Park ending the trek where we began.

What to expect
A trip graded as a Moderate Trek takes you to high altitude regions - above 3000m / 10,0000ft and will involve considerable altitude gain over the course of the trek. Altitude will have an effect, hence one would need to be careful about acclimatization. Moderate treks will have multiple days which involve considerable amount of ascents and descents and would require walking for more than 6 hours. There might be a day or two of camping in relatively high altitudes above 4000m / 13,000ft. A typical trek will last around a week to ten days depending on the region and is a good step-up for people who have completed a beginner trek.
