Camp in pristine wilderness beside sacred lakes, glacial rivers and remote yak herder camps
Trek deep into Lunana, Bhutan’s most isolated region, snowbound for much of the year
The Snowman Trek is the ultimate rugged traverse of Bhutan through the isolated Lunana region. Regarded as Bhutan’s most formidable trekking challenge, the Snowman Trek is a true Himalayan benchmark - remote, rugged, and undertaken by only a handful of trekkers each season.
Over 27 days, this fully supported expedition traverses a chain of 11 high-altitude passes, including Rinchen Zoe La (5326m/17,471ft) and Karakachu La (5165m/16,946ft) to reach Lunana, the most remote region of Bhutan, snowbound for much of the year.
The route ventures deep into Bhutan’s mountain wilderness, weaving through stark ridgelines, sacred lakes, and high valleys shadowed by 7000m (22,965ft) giants like Jomolhari, Gangchenta and Table Mountain. Along the way, you’ll pass yak herder camps and remote villages where traditional life endures far from the modern world.
With our decades of Himalayan expertise, trusted local crew and strong logistical support, this is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure for seasoned trekkers ready to step well beyond the ordinary.
The Bhutan Snowman Trek is everything that is written and said about it. Spectacular landscapes, amazing people and culture and physically challenging unless you are super fit.
My Snowman Trek experience with World Expeditions was great from the first online chat and phone call through the trip wrap up. The guides were top notch and experienced--and also enriched our experience with their knowledge of Bhutanese history, culture, wildlife and specifics on the region. The trip staff who handled the meal prep and camp set up and pack up were true partners, the pre-trip information and guidance was helpful and the logistics were handled seamlessly.
Mountain heaven and hell all wrapped in the same package!
Awesome
A tough challenge, but rewarding in many, many ways: beautiful mountains, lovely people, great company, good food and wonderful support crew.
