Cultural Buthan:Paro to Bumthang plus Chomolhari trekking via Bonthe La
road Punhaka to Bumthang is now under construction and some landslide or rockslide problems may occur. Some very narrow drives upon huge cliffs.
Beautiful district Festival at Thangbi Mani monastery (Bumthang).
From the Chomolhari B.C. our return way was via Bonthe La (a bridge collapsed at Barshong in the return way Lingshi to Thimpu). Our local guide believes the Bonthe La way offers better scenery views, compared to the return way via Lingshi...

Our local guide believes the Bonthe La way offers better scenery views, compared to the return way via Lingshi. Actually we camped at Tsom Lakes with tremendous views on Jitchu Drake. Even better at top of this valley. Our trip has been everyday excellent!
Rating for tour operator:
I have a strong respectful opinion about "The Mountain Company".
It is motivated by this recent experience: Buthan 14 October to 3rd November,
and from my previous experience.
-2013 Mera Peak expedition in Nepal - very accurate organisation, I summited (62y.old)
-2012 Snowman trekking in Buthan, challenging and difficult to organise: for the weather and many high passes to cross. Perfectly organised, all went well eberyday.
