About this trip

Druk Path Trek is one of the finest short treks in Bhutan. Leading through an ancient trading route, over high mountain passes, it connects the valleys of Paro and Thimphu.  The trek begins by walking up through apple orchards and pine forests past ruined Jele Dzong (fortress), which sits on a high grassy ridge with breathtaking views of Mount Jumolhari to the north. In the next 4 days, we climb above the tree line and cross several passes. En route, we come across clear mountain lakes, several yak herder’s camps, and splendid views of the Himalayas along the Bhutan – Tibet border including Mount Jumolhari, Jichu Drake, and Gongkar Puensum. Our final descent through pine and juniper forests via Phajoding monastery would lead to Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan.
