Jomolhari Trek II is the shorter one of the two Jomolhari routes and the most popular trek in Bhutan. With altitude differences of 2500m (lowest) and nearly 5000m (highest) it offers a wide range of stunning landscape with diverse fauna and flora. The highlight of this trek is the spectacular view of Mount Jomolhari from Jomolhari base camp in Jangothang. The Jomolhari Trek II is meant for trekkers who want to avoid high passes and high altitude, while still having the majestic impressions of Mount Jomolhari.
