Lunana
Snowman Trek-23 Days
This trek
is recognized by enthusiasts as the toughest
trek in the world because of its altitude,
distance, climate and remoteness. At the
same time, the Lunana region of Bhutan
is one of the most beautiful areas of
the world and the least visited. Though
many do not finish the entire trek, we
have developed a plan that will help anyone
complete the entire distance in 18 days.
We have included acclimatization (first
3 days in Bhutan), rest days, and cultural
experiences that will refresh and encourage
you along the way. You do not have to
be brave, you just have to have to be
determined. Your experienced guide will
help you set the needed pace for each
day of the trek. Careful planning for
each trek to the Lunana region includes
our expert local guide, pack horses, cold
weather equipment, and a cook. From the
time you arrive you will be cared for
and know exactly what to expect. Your
guides are also prepared for any emergency
that could happen.
