Druk Path Trek, Bhutan

The Druk Path trek takes in the most varied and beautiful sections of the original mule trail through the mountains from Paro to Thimphu, Bhutan’s main towns. Walk through rhododendron forest alive with colour in the spring, across open yak pastures and along glorious high ridges. Highlights along the way include serene sacred lakes teeming with trout, meeting nomadic yak herders, visiting a haunted monastery, and in good weather, wonderful views of the snow-capped eastern Himalaya. Our five-day trek is combined with the must see cultural highlights of Paro, Punakha and Thimphu. Selected departures also attend a lively Bhutanese festival.
