The Amazing View of Himalayan Mountains and Numerous Turquoise Mountain Lake

At an highest elevation of 4100 m above sea level, Dagala 1000 Lake trek is a challenging trek in Bhutan. It usually takes 4 nights camping and 5 days trekking with a day excursion to enjoy the view of numerous mountain lakes and the majestic Himalayan ranges.

If you strike the deal at the right seasons, which usually is the September – November and March – May window of the year, you can treat yourselves with the view of some of the highest mountains of the Himalayas like Mount Jumolhari of Bhutan, Mount Everest of Nepal and Mount Kanchenjunga of Sikkim, India besides the beautiful sister mountains of Bhutan. However, the best part of the trek is, it’s a leisurely 5 days trekking along the Rhododendron flowers in the beginning, small but amazing passes in between and numerous turquoise lakes on the mountain top.

The first camp is warm and in midst of tall broad leave and chir-pine forest leading to a harsh windy, cold and icy second and third night camp sites but with amazing sun rise and sunsets.
