SNOWMAN TREK
The Snowman Trek is the toughest trek in Bhutan: for 22 days, a real adventure taking you from 2,800m/9,186ft to 5,500m/18,000ft covering about 20km (12 ½ miles) a day, and traversing no less than 10 high passes. It is an extension of the beautiful Laya Gasa Trek, and leads from Laya into high altitudes of the Bhutanese Himalayas. It takes tough and enduring trekkers into the Lunana region and further on to Gangkhar Puensum and down to Sephu in Trongsa district, leading through the most remote areas up to very high altitudes. Trekkers have to camp in altitudes above 5,000m more than once, and depending on the seasonal temperatures, the camps are sometimes on snow.
