Druk Path Trek Overview

Druk Path Trek 7 days-long Druk path trek takes you to the green forests, high mountains, monasteries, temples and beautiful places of Bhutan that are unique and will help you garner an awesome experience. Bhutan, a small landlocked nation surrounded by India and China lies in the lap of the Himalayas.

The kingdom of Bhutan reflects typical Buddhist culture preserved for centuries. Bhutan is heaven in itself. Bhutan is not like any other crowded country with busy streets and chaos. The people have been exceptionally preserving their tradition as wearing Gho robe by men and Kira dress by women can be seen.

Bhutan is a unique country known for its scenic beauty and traditional cultures dating back to the centuries. In order to protect the culture, traditions and natural environment, the government has adopted a strict policy of high-value low-impact tourism.

This policy aims at attracting discerning tourists that respect the unique culture and values of Buddhist people while also providing the visitors with an unforgettable one-of-a-kind experience. Massive ancient monasteries are also the major attractions of Bhutan among travelers.

The gorgeous landscape of Paro will leave you in awe. The dense pine forest and pristine lakes of Paro are must view while you are in Paro.

In fine weather, as you soar up higher, you can enjoy the spectacular view of Mount Everest, Mt. Lhotse, Mt. Makalu, Mt. Kanchenjunga at their best. We will take rest at a fine hotel at Paro.
