Bhutan’s classic high-altitude trek to the foot of Mount Jomolhari, through Jigme Dorji National Park.
The Jomolhari trek is the benchmark high-altitude route in Bhutan — nine days on foot through Jigme Dorji National Park to a base camp beneath the 7,326-metre peak, with a rest day built in for acclimatisation. It’s a genuine trekking expedition, not a walking holiday, and we only run it with guides certified for the route’s altitude.
Jangothang base camp, directly beneath Mount Jomolhari
A full acclimatisation day with optional side hikes for higher views
Blue sheep and, with luck, snow leopard territory in Jigme Dorji National Park

Nine days without a paved road in sight

Continue up-valley with the first clear views of Jomolhari, arriving at the Jangothang base camp in the early afternoon.
A rest day with an optional side hike toward Tshophu lakes for higher, closer views of the peak.
Cross the Nyile La pass (around 4,900m), the trek’s high point, descending to the remote settlement of Lingshi.
A long descending day following the Thimphu Chhu river through increasingly forested terrain.
Continue downriver through rhododendron and bamboo forest to camp near the ruins of Barshong Dzong.
A final descent to the roadhead at Dodena, where your vehicle meets you for the drive into Thimphu.
