DRUK PATH TREK
Druk Path Trek is a 05 days trek and relatively easy with excellent and beautiful scenery, good views of snow-capped Himalayan peaks, a monastery high up in the mountains. It is considered one of the most popular trek in the country. This trek is especially for the people who have less time in Bhutan and have passion to make at list one trek in the this beautiful country. It passes through a gorgeous natural landscape of blue pine forests, high ridges and pristine lakes while at the same time offering the opportunity to visit some ancient lhakhangs, dzongs and villages.

On the third day, hikers will arrive at Jimilangtso Lake, whose crystal clear waters are home to gigantic trout. This trek also offers a stunning views of Mt. Gangkar Puensum, the highest un-scaled peak in the world.

Detailed Itinerary
The path continues on through a forest of rhododendrons populated by Himalayan pheasants. We reach enormous cairns at Chole La Pass (4100m). From here, we drop down to Kiwi Chowa (4030m). Our route then continues to a pass at 3960m where four tracks converge. We follow the northern route past a ruin said to have once been a dzong to monitor the movement of locals between Wangduephodrang & Thimphu districts. A ridge leads to Talakha Peak (4300m) revealing great views of the Thimphu Valley. If there is a good weather, we can even view Kanchenjunga, Chomolhari and Jichu Drake from here. An hour’s walk, you are at the last camp, little above the Talekha Monastery.
