Tshochenchen – Dur / Bumthang
Tshochenchen - Dur / Bumthang
This is our last day and we will probably switch from Yaks to mules. It is mostly descending through forests of cypress, juniper, spruce, hemock and maples, then the path follows the Chamkhar Chu, descending gradually with few climbs. The trek ends at Dur village where Wind Horse Tours, Trek & Expeditions transport will pick you up and drive you to your accommodation in Bumthang. Approx. distance 27km/8-9hrs trek/1050m descent
