Summary

Jomolhari Trek II is the shorter version of the two Jomolhari routes, mostly trekked by the majority of trekkers. With altitude differences of 2,500m and nearly 5,000m (lowest and highest point of the route) it offers a wide range of landscape and fauna and flora. The highlight of this trek is the spectacular view of Mount Jomolhari from Jomolhari Basecamp in Jangothang. Trekkers who want to avoid high passes and high altitude can chose an easier version of the Jomolhari Trek II by going back the same way down from Jangothang), while still having the majestic impressions of Mount Jomolhari.
