Druk Path Trek

---

The Druk Path Trek is one of Bhutan’s most popular and beginner-friendly treks, offering a perfect mix of natural beauty, cultural insights, and Himalayan adventure. This 4-6 day journey connects Paro Valley to Thimphu, passing through pristine forests, crystal-clear highland lakes, and meadows dotted with grazing yaks. Trekkers are treated to stunning views of snow-capped peaks, including Mount Gangkar Puensum, Bhutan’s highest mountain. 

The trail follows an ancient route used by traders and pilgrims, with campsites often set near centuries-old monasteries, adding a spiritual touch to the experience. Depending on the season, you may encounter highland herders and gain a glimpse into their traditional lifestyle. 

With manageable distances between campsites and moderate difficulty, the Druk Path Trek is ideal for amateur trekkers seeking a memorable Himalayan adventure.
