In clear weather, you can see as far as Mt Jomolhari (7314m/23,996ft), Bhutan’s second tallest mountain, and down to the Haa Valley. We then hike through a dense rhododendron forest to Kila Gompa, home to Buddhist nuns (Anim Dratshang) living in this very peaceful location. The nunnery was rebuilt in 1986 after a fire destroyed it. From here we head downhill and if you choose, you can take a bike all the way down to Paro Valley. If you decide not to bike down to the valley, we can drive from Chele La Pass to the other side to the Haa Valley. On occasions, the pass is inaccessible due to snow.
