Your Guide

My name is Kunzang Norbu. I was born in the central region of Bhutan. Where the culture and the history are vibrant and the land is beautiful in Bhutan. I grew up hearing the stories of the places around me form no other than my father who is a Tourist Guide to . I began my career as a tour guide after working with my father in his tour company. Which enabled me expand my knowledge and explore the world, which made me appreciate beauty of my country.

For more than a decade now, I spent my good years working as a tour guide, mountain biker, and photographer with various tour operators in Bhutan. It was a incredible experience meeting tourists from every corner of the world as well as gaining my own experience travelling to several places. I love to travel and have been some parts of Asia.

Travel to gain new experience in life, enjoying local living style, or even indulge yourself on luxury holidays, and taking photo with like-minded people.

Overview

  • The most popular trek in Bhutan. With altitude differences of 2,500m and nearly 5,000m (lowest and highest point of the route), it offers a wide range of landscape, fauna and flora. The highlight of this trek is the spectacular view of Mount Jomolhari from Jomolhari Basecamp, Jangothang. Nearly the whole trek goes through a small part of the Jigme Singye National Park, passing a few of the Yak herder’s settlement and the remotest region of Lingshi.

The Jomolhari trek offers a taste of the great variety of Bhutanese landscapes. Starting Drugyel Dzong, we pass through scattered hamlets and farmland, into a deep and richly forested valley, which leads to a high alpine pastureland where yak herders graze their animals.

You can have the view of Mt. Jomolhari fron the second camp and as you near the campsite you will be greeted Mt. Jechudrakey and Mt. Tsherimgang. First three days you will hike gradually uphill following the stream which originate from the Mount Jomolhari, and two days of crossing high passes Nyilila Alt. 4650 M. and Yali-la Alt. 4950 M., and again three days of descending to lower region following the Thimphu river to Thimphu valley.

Our highest camp, at basecamp Alt. 4100 M. of Mt. Jomolhari, is in magnificent location with view of Mount Jomolhari.
