In November 2025, a reconnaissance team organized by Firefox Tours explored trails south of Gangkhar Puensum peak, along the northern boundary of Trongsa and Bumthang dzongkhags. The expedition resulted in establishing a new trekking route that connects the existing Gangkhar Puensum Trek and Snowman Trek into a loop, crossing the 5,285 meter high Oro La pass and overnighting at the stunningly scenic Kilkor Thang campsite. This is the expedition report as submitted to Bhutanese authorities and the interested public.
