Druk Path Trekking

The Druk Path Trek is one of the most frequented treks. It is a fairly short yet exhilarating trek that is both challenging and rewarding. The views, like most other treks in Bhutan, are fascinating and exhilarate ones senses, owing to the incredible beauty and majesty of the Himalayas.

The trek commences from Paro to Jele Dzong at 2591 meters, from where one can see the Paro Valley with snow-capped mountains behind. The trail to Jangchulakha at 2896 meters takes you through thick alpine forests and rhododendron trees. Follow the ridge next Day to Jimilangtsho at 3353 meters, and be enthralled with the beautiful views of the mountains and the surrounding valleys. The Trail to Simkota at 3505 meters leads you through dwarf rhododendron trees passing by Lake Janetsho. The route to Phajoding at 2896 meters on a clear Day allows one beautiful views of Mount 'Gankhar Punsum'. The final Day of the trek to Thimphu is all downhill through forests of Blue Pine.

Campsites at lakes and the possible sights of Yak herders en route are the additional attractions in the trek.
