The Chomolhari Trek

The Chomolhari Trek is a 7–9 day high-altitude route through the Jigme Dorji National Park, Bhutan. The trail traverses from Drugyel Dzong toward the base of Mount Jomolhari (7,326m), a sacred peak for the Bhutanese people. The route reaches high points at the Nyele La pass (4,700m) and potentially the Bongte La (~4,890m) depending on the variant. It is characterized by sustained exposure above 3,500 meters, passing through sub-alpine forests and high glacial basins where seasonal yak herders maintain their summer camps.

The trek to Laguna de los Tres is one of the primary day activities in Los Glaciares National Park, providing a close-perspective view of the granite massif of Mount Fitz Roy (3,405m). The route follows an out-and-back trail through mixed forest and glaciated valleys, passing the Piedras Blancas viewpoint before the final ascent. The journey is defined by a significant transition from the low-lying valley floor to the high-alpine environment of the lagoon, which sits directly below the main peaks.
