9 Days Bhutan Druk Path Trekking Overview
Along the old high-class route between Paro and Thimpu, “Himala Adventure Nepal”, also known as “Druk Trail Walk”, is an excellent short distance hike, perfect for those who are in Bhutan.
You will experience the countryside, the mountains, the alpine meadows, the glacial lakes and the monasteries. The first day of walking leads to the ruined Jeli Dzong, which is located in a mountain range above the Paro Valley and offers a magnificent view of Chomolhari.
During the following 4 days of hiking, we climbed the tree line and crossed several passages. On the way, we camped next to the crystal clear mountain lakes, visited the yak herders’ camp and enjoyed the magnificent panorama of the Tibetan border peaks, including Jitchu Drake and Gangkar Puensum. We visited the impressive Taktsang Monastery in the Paro Valley and visited Tashichho dzong in Thimpu.
