Jhomolhari Base Camp
Camp beneath one of Bhutan's most sacred peaks, with acclimatisation built into the schedule.
Tour Overview
A high-altitude traverse for travellers who want the mountains without surrendering comfort. Camps are established ahead of arrival; the walking is real, the evenings are not spartan.

A proper tent, a real mattress and a hot meal at the end of every trekking day.
Lingshi Dzong
One of the country's most remote fortress-monasteries, reached only on foot.
