Lunana Snowman Trek 2015 - Challenging, Spectacular, Well organised/led
This challenging trip through remote terrain was enhanced by good organisation, sensitive leadership, and well managed local team. We were prepared for the conditions thanks to comprehensive accurate information from The Mountain Company prior, and the need to train well beforehand.
Spectacular scenery, stunning campsites, and a gradual acclimatization schedule all made for a trip to be remembered.

The downside was the drive back to Paro from Jakar - 250 kms of roadworks, dust and narrow, winding, hilly meanders. Lets hope the Bhutanese government makes this upgrade a priority.
Rating for tour operator:
Roland from The Mountain Company provided plenty of pre-trip information to enable us to prepare thoroughly for the adventure.
Almas Khan, the trip leader, had a wealth of experience, knew the route well, was always organised and informative. Friendly and personable leader who related well to staff and clients alike. We appreciated his sound decision making and ability to allow the group to walk at their own pace, whilst still maintaining an overview of where everyone was at.
