The Druk Path Trek is one of the most beautiful short treks in Bhutan. It overcomes high mountain passes and connects the valleys of Paro and Thimphu. The path leads through spectacular rhododendron forests, alpine yak pastures and beautiful lakes with mountain trout.The trek begins with a hike through apple orchards and pine forests, past the ruins of Jili Dzong (monastic fortress), which sits on a high grassy ridge with breathtaking views of Mount Chomolhari (7,326m) to the north.<\/p>\n
Over the next 5 days we climb above the tree line and cross several passes, including Phume La (4,210 m). On the way we enjoy the magnificent views of the Himalayas along the Bhutan-Tibet border, including Mount Chomolhari, Jichu Drake (6,662m) and Gangkar Puensum (7,570m). The crystal clear lakes and the atmosphere of the Eastern Himalayas seem otherworldly.<\/p>\n
Another highlight is the hike to the world-famous Tiger\u2019s Nest Monastery high above the Paro Valley. After your hike, spend time exploring the main attractions of Thimphu and the lush Punakha Valley. Combined with the opportunity to experience the fascinating culture and sights of the Thunder Dragon Kingdom, this makes for the perfect trekking and cultural holiday in this unique Himalayan country.<\/p>\n
On this hike you will cross several passes at over 4000 meters and generally spend most of the time at altitudes over 3,800m. Good fitness and altitude tolerance are therefore a prerequisite for participation.<\/p>\n
As you travel to the selected departures, you will also visit one of Bhutan’s most significant and vibrant festivals – the Paro, Punakha or Thimphu Tsechu – a highlight of any visit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
