Dagala Thousand Lakes Trek
The Dagala Thousand Lakes Trek is a five-day trek that takes you into an area adorned with a multitude of pristine, crystal-clear lakes. As you continue through this trek, you’ll be treated to stunning views of the entire Himalayan mountain range, and interestingly, if the weather is clear, you will encounter some of the world’s highest peaks, including Mt. Everest, Jomolhari, Masang Gang, Jichu Drake, Gangche Ta, and many more. During the trek an entire day will be dedicated to visiting some of the more picturesque lakes, fishing, and resting. The trail also takes you through several Bhutanese villages so you can get a good idea of traditional Bhutanese village life as you make your way back from the lakes. While this is a somewhat strenuous trek, it is well worth the effort because of the tranquility and beauty of the natural landscape that you will enjoy during the journey.

Detailed Itinerary
The path continues on through a forest of rhododendrons populated by Himalayan pheasants. We reach enormous cairns at Chole La Pass (4100m). From here, we drop down to Kiwi Chowa (4030m). Our route then continues to a pass at 3960m where four tracks converge. We follow the northern route past a ruin said to have once been a dzong to monitor the movement of locals between Wangduephodrang & Thimphu districts. A ridge leads to Talakha Peak (4300m) revealing great views of the Thimphu Valley. If there is a good weather, we can even view Kanchenjunga, Chomolhari and Jichu Drake from here. An hour’s walk, you are at the last camp, little above the Talekha Monastery.
