Trip Overview
Druk Path Trek is one of the finest short treks in Bhutan. It takes you to the natural wilderness through an ancient trading route, over high mountain passes, it connects the valleys of Paro and Thimpu. This trek also offers stunning views of valleys, lakes, Himalayan snow-capped mountains like Mount Gangkar Puensum, the highest mountain in Bhutan and the world's tallest unscaled peak. The trail passes through spectacular rhododendron forests, alpine yak pastures and beautiful lakes stocked with snowy mountain trouts.
The trek begins by walking up through apple orchards and pine forest past ruined Jele Dzong (fortress), which sits on a high grassy ridge with breath-taking views of Mount Jumolhari to the north. Druk path trek starts from Kathmandu valley of Nepal where you will have cultural as well as scenic sightseeing. On the following day, you will fly to Bhutan. After you arrive at Paro Airport our crew member will pick you from there and escort to the hotel and the next day you will start trekking. Your journey begins from Paro and ends at Thimpu. Along the trail, you will visit the National Museum (Ta-Dzong), Taktshang Lhakhang, Jimilang Lake, Simkota, Lake Janetsho, Tashichho Dzong, etc. You will get to know the people and their lifestyles, cultures, and traditions. Here, you will reach a maximum height of 4000 M above sea level while trekking.
This is a short but exhilarating trek where you will be welcomed by beautiful natures and blooming rhododendron forest. It is medium and in some sections can be challenging but does not require any previous experiences and skills. Everyone can have fun with it and it is at its best during spring and autumn.
