| Pangkab La Trek between Tashigang and Samdrup Jongkhar |
On dated 23/2/2019: Pangkab La Trek is located between Tashigang and Samdrup Jongkhar Dzongkhag. The trek physically demanding because of its length, uphill and downhill which changes in elevation. The highest elevation on the Pass is about 3200 mts (approximately) above the sea level. The team had an limited time during the day to cover this distance, no time for rest. The team had taken time to reach to the camp site eleven to twelve hours of walking to get to camp before it gets dark.
Treks is along the ancient trade routes from Kangpar Village to Drangnang Village on which the trails may be rocky, sometimes made muddy by the hooves of passing horses, yaks and cattle. An encounter snow, especially on high passes and rainfall in the deep forest. Like any other parts of Himalayas, the descents are long, steep and unrelenting and rarely a level stretch of trail. However, if you are an experienced walker and often hike 13 to 14 hrs a day with a backpack, a trek in Bhutan should prove difficulty.
Mammy Meku (73 years old) from Tashigang Radhi made sussecful round trip trek in two days one night. In his answer most difficulties faced on the way from Kangpar to Pangkab La had an problem of water.
