Why We Pace This Route This Way

This is the short trip we plan for couples who want one big view and very little driving. Chele La at sunrise gives you Jomolhari without a trek, and Haa on the far side stays quiet enough that the two of you will have the village road to yourselves.

Who This Journey Fits Best

Couples celebrating an anniversary who want mountain views and empty roads
