“Experience the different sides of Bhutan…
With shuttles taking you up to 10,000ft, each day you’ll maximise your time descending wild Himalayan trails that few others have ridden. Get ready for some serious adrenaline as you ride the most exhilarating downhill singletrack you can imagine - surrounded by centuries-old history and tradition as you go. Through small hilltop villages and ethereal forests, and down loamy alpine trails, you’ll see the many colours this unique country has to offer.”-

It takes two days to reach Jomolhari base camp, Jangothang from Paro, which are the most popular treks in Bhutan. With altitude differences of 2,500m and nearly 5,000m it offers a wide range of landscapes, fauna and flora. The highlight of this trek is the spectacular view of Mount Jomolhari from Jomolhari Basecamp (Jangothang). Trekkers who want to avoid high passes and high altitude can choose an easier version of the Jomolhari Loop by retracing their steps from Jangothang , while still having the majestic impressions of Mount Jomolhari.

The trail leads to a last settlement in the valley and drops to the Paro Chhu. Passing the lake of Tshophu (4,380m) you will climb up steeply to Bhonte La pass at 4,890 m, the highest point of this trek route. It takes two to three hours to reach Tshophu Twin Lake from Jangothang base camp. You can either trek towards Soi Yaksa or move back to Jangothang.

The highlight of this trek is the spectacular view of Mount Jumolhari and Jichu Drakey while trekking towards the twin lake (Tshophu).

Future

Tomorrow, as much as we rejoice in the completion of a significant milestone as a nation, we embrace the auspicious start to a new chase of hopes and dreams.

And to do that, each one of us will have to play our part, irrespective of where we are and what we do. All of us are quick to point out the shortcomings but we should also be able to change and push ourselves to deliver more.

Our action and resolve today will shape our future, be it for tomorrow or down the years as we weather and our children take over. And foddered by all the belief and confidence our leaders place in them, our youth have to take charge and see through the advancement of our country.

Fortunately, we have our King who shows us the way and steers us to a national goal as we falter. Which is why, for the government and the people, National Day is one occasion where we seek wisdom and guidance emanating from His Majesty's heart.

Just one day to go. We offer love and consolation to everyone who have endured hardship this year. But this National Day, let us move on, in arms, leaning for strength and walk into the future that is bigger and brighter.
