Welcome:
Snow Man II Trekking Bhutan |
|
The Snowman Trek is an extension of the beautiful Laya Gasa Trek, and leads
from Laya further into the high altitudes of the Bhutanese Himalayas. It takes
tough and enduring trekkers into the Lunana region and further on to Gangkhar
Puensum and Bumthang or down to Sephu in Trongsa district, depending on which
route you choose. The Snowman trek leads through the most remote areas up to
very high altitudes. Trekkers have to camp in altitudes above 5,000m more than
once, and depending on the seasonal temperatures, the camps are sometimes on
snow. The Lonly Planet describes the Snowman Trek as one of the most difficult
tresk of the world. Many groups that attempt this tough trek do actually not
finish it due to problems with the high altitude or snow blocked passes. The
best time for Snowman Trek is summer and early autumn time - unlike to the other
high altitude treks of Bhutan. Still, those who make it will remember this trek
as an outstanding, beautiful and maybe as the most rewarding trek of their life.
In this version of the Snowman Trek, one has the possibility of spending a day
or two at perhaps one of the most beautiful hot springs of the Himalayas
This
trek goes to the remote Lunana district and considered as the
most challenging trek in Bhutan. The attributes those make it a
tough trek are ; distances, altitudes, weather and remoteness.
Season
:
The Snowman trek is frequently closed because of snow and is
almost impossible during winter. The recommended season for this
trek is mid June to mid October.
