Mount Jomolhari Tour Companies

The trip was very exotic.

Bhutan is a country that is on the cusp of great change. Our advice is to get yourself to the Buddhist Kingdom -- now. We used OneSeed Expeditions as our outfitter and took its Sacred Chomolhari trek and cultural tour -- and we couldn't be happier with our experience. There are few experiences that compare with walking ancient paths at high altitude. There's the enormity of the mountains, the solitude, the night skies with more stars than you thought possible, and fresh breakfasts (with French-pressed coffee, no less) in the warm sunshine. And then there's crossing 16,000-foot peaks marked by prayer flags wafting in the breeze. It's called the "sacred" Chomolhari for good reason. Our guide, Tenzin, was attentive and delighted in sharing his country's history and norms with us. And since he's a naturalist at heart, he could tell us about the flora, fauna and animal life we encountered on our way. Our cook should be on Top Chef; and our assistant guide was beyond kind. This is the kind of trip that is difficult to plan from home. With OneSeed, we didn't need to do any planning; it took care of all the details, both large and small. From the time we were met at the airport, our itinerary and activities were set. Beyond the trek itself, we enjoyed the Tiger's Nest monastery near Paro, and the cultural sites in Thimpu, including the chorten, the dzong/monastery, a nunnery where we meditated while the monks chanted their prayers, and the city's best straight-blade shave. We have many stunning photos from our trek and tour. Unfortunately, we got an error message when we tried uploading them to this review. Trust us, though, when we say OneSeed exceeded all expectations and helped make this a trip of a lifetime.
