the Himalayas. It covers the distance of 356 kilometers (221 miles), crosses
eight passes, several of which are over 5,000 meters (16,400 feet), and stays at

remote and high valleys along the northern border of Bhutan parts of which can
cut off from the rest of the world for six months of year. This trek is best
done in April-May and September-October.
Bhutan for a long time the "Forbidden Kingdom", still limits
the number of tourists visiting the country, To protect the cultural heritage
and preservation of natural wealth and beauty is still the number one priority
of the country. The snowman trek is considered to be the most challenging trek
and of the longest duration in Bhutan. This trek provides an in depth look of
the unspoiled and old traditional lifestyle of the Bhutanese; not only the
grandiose mountain views and alleys of the Himalayan region but also the
lifestyle of the mountain people living in harmony with nature and gods. The
trekking is 21 days long ranging between the altitude of 3000M to 5000m. For the
