Druk Path Bhutan

The Druk Path trek is one of the most popular treks in Bhutan. It follows an old path that connects Paro to Thimphu, through beautiful mountains that only a few lucky travelers get to explore. On this trek, you’ll walk through colorful rhododendron forests, see yak herders villages, cross high mountain passes, and camp by clear mountain lakes with amazing views of the Peaks near Tibet. 

The trek involves significant altitude, starting around 2,300-2,600 meters (7,500-8,500 feet) in Paro district and reaching over 4,000 meters (13,000 feet). Acclimatization is crucial to prevent altitude sickness. Gradual ascent and adequate hydration are recommended. To avoid getting sick from the high altitude on the Druk Path Trek, it’s really important to go up slowly 

Along the way, you’ll get to experience Bhutan’s rich culture and if you come at the right time, you can even enjoy vibrant festivals with traditional mask dances and joyful celebrations.
