The Druk Path is Bhutan's favourite short trek, an ancient trail that once linked Paro and Thimphu. It climbs through blue pine and rhododendron forests to high ridges and sparkling alpine lakes, with views of Jomolhari and Gangkhar Puensum on clear days.
Our full trekking crew (guide, cook, helpers and pack animals) sets up camp each night, so you only carry a day pack.
