    This is our most popular long distance trek in Bhutan and takes you along the remote northern border with Tibet. The mountain scenery is magnificent - most of the peaks being unclimbed, unmapped and un-named. There are many passes to cross, offering tantalising panoramas of distant ranges and the opportunity to spot Blue Sheep. Flora and fauna are diverse and abundant at every stage of the journey. Our itinerary results from considerable experience. Any shorter and we believe that there would not be sufficient time for proper acclimatisation and to rush through this region would mean you miss the very point of being there; it remains rarely travelled and unspoilt.
