Druk Path

This will appeal if you looking to experience the unique culture of Bhutan as well as going on a short Himalayan trek.

Our itinerary in Bhutan the 'Land of the Thunder Dragon' combines seeing the main cultural highlights of the Kingdom of Bhutan with five days of scenic trekking. The Druk Path trek connects the valleys of Paro and Thimpu following the old trading route between the main towns in Bhutan. You will walk for between four and five hours each day following a quiet forest trail and up to alpine yak pastures, once above the tree line you see the spectacular view of the Himalaya along the Bhutan - Tibet border including Chomolhari, Jitchu Drake and Gangkar Punsum.

You have several days visiting Bhutan's main cultural sites, before the trek you will explore Paro Valley with a walk to Taktsang or 'Tigers Nest' monastery and a visit to Ta Dzong, once a fortified watchtower and now the national museum. After the trek we explore Punakha's 17th century Dzong and visit Thimpu with its painting school and herbal medicine institute.
