Lunana Trek
Although a complete Lunana trek is a very long one it is both exotic and enthralling. During this Trek while you see the fascinating Chomolhari 23,999ft/7,314m the route also takes you through fabulous mountains and uninhabited areas to reach the village of Laya . From here you walk east again into Lunana. perhaps the most remote region in Bhutan - even the king has not visited it. It is closed throughout the winter by snowbound passes and indeed the lowest pass to enter Lunana is 16,500ft/5,029m. Lunana trek is very much rewarding and perhaps the experience will be unsurpassed by any.
