Snowman Trek with Gangkar Puensum

Come and immerse yourself in the nature. As the English poet, William Blake said, “Great things are done when men and mountains meet”.

Trekking Tours experience and the joy of being on the trail in the kingdom of Bhutan are, perhaps, un-equalled anywhere else in the world

Note: You may contact us here, if you wish to enter country by road.

Total Trip: 26 Nights / 27 Days
6 Nights Hotels/Lodges
20 Nights Camping
Trekking Max. Altitude: 4900m / 16076ft

Difficulty: Challenging

This trek goes to the remote Lunana district and is considered to be the most difficult trek in Bhutan. The circumstances which make this a tough trek are: distances, altitude, weather conditions and remoteness. A very fit trekking group could tackle the final stage from Tshochenchen to Bumthang (Day 22: 21 km, 13 hours) in one day, but the less fit should allow two comfortable days, and either reduce time allotted for post-trek sightseeing or else add a day to the total length of the tour.

Months: Mid-June to Mid-October

Months: The Snowman Trek is frequently closed because of snow and is almost impossible during winter.
