One World Trekking Confirms Chomolhari and Laya Trek in Bhutan

Jan. 9, 2012 - PRLog -- The long-established route from Chomolhari Base Camp across to Laya Village still ranks as one of Bhutan's finest mountain walks. One World Trekking, a leader in Himalayan travel since 1988, has now confirmed its 2012 departure. Beginning on September 20, 2012, group members will travel through the area’s picturesque farmland and magical forest, to alpine pastureland and high- mountain passes. “Our group will camp beneath a number of Bhutan’s most impressive peaks, visit a number of isolated dzongs (fortress monasteries) and scattered settlements, including the secluded village of Laya. This one of the world’s classic trekking routes”, says One World’s Director Andy Crisconi.

Bhutan is situated in a hidden corner of the eastern Himalaya, situated in jealously guarded isolation and amongst stunning mountain scenery. More than 90% of the population are hill farmers and Buddhist teachings and philosophy are influential throughout the kingdom. It is often said that even the most experienced trekker will find Bhutan to be a revelation. In this country known as ‘‘the Land of the Thunder Dragon,” the fortunate visitor will find the air is clean and unpolluted, the mountains are magnificent and the architecture is inspiring.

Since 1988, One World Trekking has been organizing and guiding unique treks throughout the mountain regions of the Himalayas.
