The Snowman Trek is a mixture of snow capped Himalayas, alpine grassland, quaint farmlands, and numerous exhilarating passes that include the highest pass of Bhutan—the Renchen Zoe—at an altitude of 5,400 meters. The trek comprises approximately eleven passes from Punakha to Bumthang. This trek will take you to remote parts of Bhutan, such as Laya (Punakha valley), Lunana, and Renchen Zoe pass, just to name a few. Some passes you will cross are as high as 5,000 meters, therefore you must be physically fit and of sound health. . The views make you feel as though you could reach out and touch the Himalayas that lay before you. The trek also takes you through varying terrain that includes wide green pastures, meadows that blossom from spring to autumn, rocky passes, and life changing views of the scenic Himalaya's and its countryside.
