The Druk Path Trek is one of the
most frequented treks. It is a fairly short yet exhilarating
trek that is both challenging and rewarding. The views,
like most other treks in Bhutan, are fascinating and
exhilarate ones senses, owing to the incredible beauty
and majesty of the Himalayas.
The trek commences from Paro to Jele
Dzong at 2591 meters, from where one can see the Paro
Valley with snow-capped mountains behind. The trail
to Jangchulakha at 2896 meters takes you through thick
alpine forests and rhododendron trees. Follow the
ridge next day to Jimilangtsho at 3353 meters, and
be enthralled with the beautiful views of the mountains
and the surrounding valleys. The Trail to Simkota
at 3505 meters leads you through dwarf rhododendron
trees passing by Lake Janetsho. The route to Phajoding
at 2896 meters on a clear day allows one beautiful
views of Mount 'Gankhar Punsum'. The final day of
the trek to Thimphu is all downhill through forests
of Blue Pine.
Campsites at lakes and the
possible sights of Yak herders en route are the additional
attractions in the trek.
