The Druk Path Trek is a one-of-a-kind trek in the Land of the Druk; Bhutan opens up to mystical Buddhist monasteries, temples, and lush green landscapes. The trek begins with a scenic flight to the Paro International Airport, which lands in the mesmerizing Paro valley. Paro gives you a first-hand insight into the warm and welcoming people of Bhutan.

Bhutan boasts the enchanting Tiger’s Nest Monastery sitting at the edge of a cliff. On the second day of your trip, you’ll get a chance to take a short hike to this monastery. Visiting the monastery will be more than you expected as you learn about Guru Rinpoche's myth and why the monastery is regarded as a pilgrimage for Buddhists.

After the acclimatization and sightseeing hike to the Tiger’s Nest, the trekking starts on the third day. Following a drive to Damchena Village via Ta Dzong, the National Museum of Bhutan, you get ready for the trek. From Damchena Village, the trail leads to Jele Dzong through a gravel path amidst green pastures on this day. The peaceful Paro Valley can be seen on the horizon with Mt. Jumolhari on the backdrop. On the fourth day of your trek, the silent trail will take you through lush alpine and rhododendron forest towards Jele La. With the sweet sound of Monal peasant singing, you reach your campsite at Jangchulakha.

The classic trek then reaches Jimilangtsho Lakes on the fifth day. Jimilangtsho is known primarily for the giant Trout fishes found there. Views of snow-capped mountains - Jichu Drake and Gangkar Puensum can be seen throughout the day. The trek offers a walk through the rhododendron forest to Janetsho Lake on the sixth day. Our campsite is near the undeniably beautiful Simkotra Tsho Lake, another highlight of the Druk Path Trek.

As the trek comes to an end on the seventh day, there is a change in the scenery from Simkotra Tsho to Thimphu. Views of Mt. Gangkar Puensum in the backdrop never leave your sight as the trail leads through the age-old Phajodhing Monastery into the city area of Thimphu. You can enjoy your evening by strolling around the streets of Thimphu looking for a souvenir to take back home and also rejoice in the culmination of this successful trek.

The eighth day marks an end to your wonderful Druk Path Trek as you head to the Paro International Airport for departure.
