The Jomolhari rises taller than 7000 meters. It serves as the primary pathway for many trekkers and alpine Adventurers.

Communities that dwell along these routes are acknowledged, as is the sustainable coexistence of the highlanders with the land. The community celebrates its distinctive culture and biologically diverse species that inhabit therein, like the snow leopard. The festival features a song with a snow leopard theme, traditional archery and darts contests, dances, yak riding, highland delicacies, and a fair supporting local products.
