There
is very little tourist traffic on the pristine trekking routes
in Bhutan. This is primarily a positive offshoot of the Bhutanese
government's policy limiting tourists to 5000 a year. Naturally
one has a pleasant sensation of breaking fresh ground on treks
in Bhutan. The chomolhari trek follows the crystal clear trout
rich upstream trail of Para Chu along the verdant rhododendron
canopied forests and salubrious green alpine meadows. Mt.
Chomolhari, having one of the most beautiful peaks in the
Eastern Himalaya, stands st a magnificent (7314m) with age
old frontier forts and sprawling yak pastures in its foreground;
a truly rewarding sight for the determined trekker. One the
course of the trek, one will have sojourned through several
places rich in history in Paro, Thimphu and Punakha .
