Western Bhutan Tour + Druk Path Trek
On this fabulous cultural tour with a short six days Druk Path trek you will travel from Paro to Thimphu or vice versa, crossing the chain of mountains that separate the two valleys. Although the route is sparsely inhabited, there are wonderful lakes teeming with fish and the area is famous for its spectacular rhododendron forests, which bloom in May. In the clear weather of late autumn and winter there are great views of the Himalayas. The trekking trail takes you through thick alpine forest and dwarf rhododendron tress exposing beautiful views of the mountains and valley including Mt. Gangkar Puensum, the highest mountain in Bhutan. During the course, trekkers will also have the opportunity to get a glimpse of a nomad’s life. Although the trek leads up to altitudes above 4,000m it is not too challenging as walking distances between the camps are not too long.
