Jomolhari Trek
Trekking in Bhutan can be an
entirely unique experience. Beautiful landscape, shared by a traditional way of
life and a Buddhist culture is a wonderful finding. Yet Bhutan is one of the
most unvisited places in the world. Jhomolhari Mountain on the other hand is
one of the least climbed mountains.
