Druk Path Trek

Tour Overview

One of Bhutan's most beloved and accessible trekking routes, the Druk Path links Paro to Thimphu through quiet forests, high ridgelines, and crystal-clear alpine lakes with sweeping views of the Eastern Himalayas.

This 9-day program opens with two cultural days in Paro — including the Tiger's Nest acclimatization hike — then transitions to five days of mountain trekking through pristine wilderness before landing in Thimphu for a cultural reward day. Traditional yak herder camps, ancient monasteries, and some of the finest mountain scenery in all of Bhutan make this the quintessential Bhutan trekking experience. Distance: approximately 49 km.
