A rest day at Jomolhari base camp for acclimatisation — most people feel the altitude here, and it is recommended that all trekkers halt. The classic excursion is to the twin Tshophu Lakes on the way to Bongtela Pass. You are likely to spot rare blue sheep, Himalayan rhubarb, griffon vultures, golden eagles, and the remarkable blue poppy. If you do not wish to hike then simply relax in camp — either way it will be a memorable day.
