The Snowman trek in Bhutan
If this sounds like your kind of challenge, you’re in good company; it’s a trek that’s tempted world-renowned climbers, some who might even be leading your trip. One of them is Simon Yates, best known for his ascent of Siula Grande with climbing partner Joe Simpson, recounted in the book and film adaptation Touching the Void.
“The trek sounds fantastic,” says Simon, who sometimes leads mountaineering trips with our trekking specialists World Expeditions. “One of the reasons I’m so keen to go is that I’ve trekked in India and Nepal – one of the nicest places I’ve trekked – and I’m expecting Bhutan to be quite similar. It’s quite a long trek that goes up and down and up and down over these entire mountain passes, so you’re going to get really nice views.”

Practicalities
The Snowman trek is considered entry-level mountaineering or exploratory trekking, however, so there are no technical skills needed. This is a trek, not a climb. A long and winding ascent also allows more time to acclimatise, although altitude sickness could still affect some travellers.
