A six-day ridge-line trek between Paro and Thimphu, past alpine lakes and yak herders’ camps, under some of the clearest skies in the Himalayas.
The Druk Path is Bhutan’s most accessible multi-day trek — four days of ridge-line walking between Paro and Thimphu, past a string of alpine lakes, without the altitude or logistics of a full expedition trek. Camping gear, a cook team and a trekking guide are all arranged; you carry a day pack, and mules carry the rest.
A chain of high-altitude lakes, including Jimilangtsho
Views of Jomolhari on clear days from the higher camps
Jele Dzong and Phajoding Monastery, both perched above the tree line
Yak herders’ summer camps along the route
Descending directly into Thimphu on foot
Meet your guide, gear check, and a gentle walk around Paro to acclimatise before the trek begins.
The trek begins with a steady climb through forest to Jele Dzong, at around 3,400m, with your first camp beside it.
A ridge-line day through rhododendron forest into more open, yak-herder terrain, with Himalayan views on clear days.
Continue along the ridge past several alpine lakes, camping beside Jimilangtsho, one of the route’s most scenic spots.
A shorter day to Phajoding Monastery, one of the largest monastic communities in the country, perched above Thimphu valley.
A steep descent into Thimphu by mid-morning, with time to rest before your onward transfer.
