“After looking at the number, we will be able to decide and plan on improving the trail, establish more home stays and impart trainings to the communities.”

Apart from boosting tourism in the Dzongkhag, the route is expected to benefit dozens of villages. The trek ends after descending to Gonza Gonpa and walking through Gongrichhu to the end of the road
near Doksum.
