As per the records or statistics of the Tourism Council of Bhutan is concerned, Nub Tshona Patta trek is doing far better than many other trek routes. In 2006 there were 102 trekkers making fourth in terms of top arrivals by trekkers. However, it dropped to only 67 trekkers in 2007 but quite a few doing Chelela Nature trek, Haa trek and Sagala trek. The latest (2008) for Nub Tshona Patta is 32, again a slight drop compared to 2007 but consistent trekker for Chelela Nature Trek, Haa Trek and Sagala Trek.
The important attraction is the breathtaking 360 view of other mountains . It also has high concentration of medicinal plants. It is a sure spotting area of birds like Himalayan Monal Pheasant and animal like Blue Sheep. Again, Tegola could be developed as the hub for Rhododendron as it has high concentration of different Rhododendron species. Many beautiful lakes are a sure part of the trek. Yaks and its herders’ camps, beautiful valleys, Chukha meto, etc., are its attractions. We really do not like the readers to think that the above are just the attractions of the trek route. Please remember that these are just some we can name and these are just we spotted during a cloudy and rainny survey. There is a lot more out there and we are definately SURE!
