Bhutan for a long time the “Forbidden Kingdom”, still limits the number of tourists visiting the country.
To protect the cultural heritage and preservation of natural wealth and beauty is still the number one priority of the country.
The snowman trek is considered to be the most challenging trek and of the longest duration in Bhutan. This trek provides an in depth look of the unspoiled and old traditional lifestyle of the Bhutanese; not only the grandiose mountain views and alleys of the Himalaya region but also the lifestyle of the mountain people living in harmony with nature and gods. The trekking is 21 days long ranging between the altitude of 3000M to 5000m.

Flexibility and patients is required at times especially when one confronts logistic problems arising with yaks and horses . While on trek one is expected not to distributed sweets, pen/pencil etc to children and villagers also.
