This is a short
trek, near Thimphu, to a large number of lovely high
altitude lakes. You pass through terraced paddy fields and
through coniferous forests, to the settlements of Geynikha,
2,500 meters. The trail leads up the ridge and across meadows
to a pass at 4,240 meters with a spectacular view of the whole
Dagala range. You will pass through several yak herders camps
en-route the broad Labatama valley at 4,050 meters. The lakes
are flourished with brown trout. Near the lakes is a mass
of wild alpine which flowers in September. The routes are
not well marked; it is more of a cross-country traverse. The
trail descends steeply through mixed forest of rhododendron.
