Druk Path Trek With Bhutan tour - 7 Days

Upon arrival at Paro International Airport, you will be greeted by a Bhutanese representative from Himalayan Trekkers and get transferred to the hotel. 

After a brief rest and lunch, we will head towards the Ta Dzong, the National Museum of Bhutan. Then, we take a short walk to the Rinpung Dzong often described as the fort with heaps of Jewel. We will also visit Kichu Lakhang, an important Buddhist site built in the 17th century. By the late afternoon, we reach the Drugyal Dzong (Bhutan Victory Fort). 

A beautiful night in Paro. 

Early morning breakfast and we start our hike up to the 4200 steps to the Tiger's Nest Monastery, locally known as the Taktsang Monastery. Legends state that the Guru Rinpoche from Tibet flew on the back of a tigress and meditated to this location. 

On our back to the city, we will have a lunch in a popular cafeteria halfway down the hill. 

A comfortable night at the hotel in Paro. 

A little more than 4 hours of trek takes us to our overnight camp at Jele Dzong (3400m). Jele Dzong is mostly in ruins but there is a Lhakhang (Buddhist Temple) with the statute of Buddha Sakyamuni.

We don’t have a long walk after breakfast as we only walk for a couple of hours. We climb up for about half an hour and go down 15 minutes to reach a top of a ridge. Then walk through the forest for an hour before we reach Jangchulakha, situated at an altitude of 3600m from sea level and it is also the highest point of our trek.

We start the day with a short climb to a hill from where you can see the Mt. Jumolhari and neighboring peaks. After crossing the ridge, we go down through the trail to the Jimilangtsho Lake and make a stop for lunch. We go down further until reaching Langrithang. 

Early morning hike down through the narrow trail and we reach Tsaluna and drive ahead to Thimpu. We can explore Thimpu in the evening.

You can drive to Paro for the flight next morning or wake up 2 hours earlier, before sunrise and drive to Paro. You can decide before finalizing the trip with Himalayan Trekkers. 

Flights from Bhutan are scheduled early in the morning as only Druk air flies to and from Bhutan. So don’t forget to pack breakfast if you don’t have time to eat it at the hotel.

Bid farewell to Bhutan carrying away beautiful memories of it.
