Description
For generations, the Druk Path Trek linked Paro and Thimphu. The four-day trek is challenging and begins with an ascent through apple orchards and ancient pine forest past a pre-Buddhist temple to Jele Dzong perched on a grassy ridge dotted with yaks. Day two provides the biggest challenge and promises a magnificent day in the mountains, crossing a small pass marked with prayer flags. The trek then follows a ridge through dwarf rhododendron and pine, passing a series of small lakes before heading up above the treeline (getting as high as 4,100 metres). The final descent via the monasteries at Phadjoding leads into Thimphu, the capital of Bhutan, where you can enjoy a brief sightseeing program before returning to Paro.
In Paro, you will have two days to explore the city, all of which is tailored to your personal interests. Many guest love the walk to the iconic Tigers Nest Monastery.
