The Best Trek with Trekking Trail Nepal for Snowman Trek: Best Hike in Bhutan

Blimey, the Snowman Trek is not just a hike; it is the proper trekking adventure, the sort that gets under your skin and stays there. For 25 days with Trekking Trail Nepal, I was off the grid, wandering through a world where time moves at its own pace, where the air is so thin it has to knock the wind right out of you, and the views? Bloody spectacular.

We started in Paro, all rugged terrain, green valleys, and misty mornings, then slowly worked our way up into the highlands and Himalayas. The sort of place where the only noise is the odd yak and mulls bell tinkling and local songs from Nepalese and Bhutanese guides and porters in the distance, and the low hum of monks chanting. No traffic, no nonsense, just proper peace to make the best trek in the world.

The scenery? Like something out of a dream. One minute you are trudging through rhododendron forests thick with fog, the next you are crossing icy rivers that could knock you flat if you are not careful. However, the guide makeseverything safe and smoother. The passes blimey some over 5,000 metres! Proper leg-burners, those. But then you round a corner, and there is a chorten glowing in the sunset, or Gangkar Puensum looming in the distance, the highest unclimbed peak in the world, all moody and majestic. Makes the sweat and swearing worth it. The Bhutanese and Nepalese ? Lovely lot. Our guides were not just there to point the way they were proper legends, full of stories round the fire and looking after us like we were old mates. And the grub? Surprisingly bang-on. Who knew dal and Ema-Datshi (that’s lentils and chillies with cheese, by the way) could taste so good after a long day on your feet?

Make no mistake, this Snow Man Trek is no walk in the park. It is tough, remote, and at times downright brutal. But if you are after a proper challenge, something that will test your knees, your lungs, and your sense of humour, then this is it. One of the last great adventures, and worth every blister.
