A clear day offers a bird’s eye view of Paro valley. Walk through thick alpine forests and rhododendron trees for around 3 hours until you reach Jele Dzong at 3560m. After visiting the ruined Dzong continue your climb for another 3 hours to reach the yak pasture at Jangchulakha which will be your campsite for the night. (Altitude 3760 m)

Camp is near Jimilangtso Lake at about 3870 m.

Camp by Semkotha Lake at an altitude of around 3834 m.

If weather permits there will be a beautiful view of Mount Gangkhar Puensum, Bhutan’s highest mountain, as well as of further peaks from the Doupchu La Pass. The path gradually descends to Phajoding Gompa (3536 m) where a monastery and retreat centres for meditation are located. From there you continue your final descent for a couple more hours through blue pine forest, emerging just above Thimphu town where you will be met by your driver and taken to your hotel.
