The Jomolhari Mountain Festival Trek offers a rare chance to journey to the base of sacred Mount Jomolhari while experiencing the living culture of Bhutan’s high mountain communities. This unique trek follows one of the most scenic routes in the country, passing through pristine forests, alpine meadows, and dramatic valleys. Along the way, trekkers witness breathtaking views of snow capped peaks and rich biodiversity, including regions known for the elusive snow leopard. The experience combines natural beauty with meaningful cultural encounters, making it more than just a trek.
The highlight of this journey is the two day Jomolhari Mountain Festival held at Jangothang, where semi nomadic yak herders celebrate their traditions, lifestyle, and deep connection with nature.

Jomolhari base camp is located at 4100 masl. Now it has all the facilities like toilet. It has improved a lot. You can camp at this place.

It was a five day trek with one day stay at the base camp. It takes two days of halt at Thangthangka to reach Jomolhari Base Camp. And, honestly this is a must visit! The first day may be a bit too long but the trail is gently sloped along the Paro Chu banks. You can enjoy the serene alpine vegetation. There are also few spectacular waterfalls on the way and often marmots can be in your sights. And the mountain view is just beautiful!!!
