The Snowman Trek is the longest hiking trail of Bhutan that extends from Laya to the high Bhutanese Himalayas, covering up the northern part of the Kingdom.

[1] It is one of the hardest trekking trails due to hard weather, duration, and altitude in the world and most of the trekkers do not complete the route.

[citation needed] It begins from Lunana to higher up in Gangkar Puensum, and ends in Trongsa and from there to Bumthang District, taking through the rough paths of the Himalayas and up to as high as 5000m above sea level.

[2] In 2022 it was run as an ultra marathon, known as the Snowman Race, over 5 days by 29 competitors.

[5] A second event is being planned for October 2024 with a distance of 196 km over 4 days with a maximum elevation of 5,470 m and 15 competitors.
