Bhutan Druk Path Trek

Paro to Paro – 12 Days

The Druk Path Trek is a small-group adventure that links Bhutan’s most iconic Tiger's Nest Monastery with a high ridge walk between Paro and Thimphu, Bhutan's capital and Bhutan's capital city. After arriving in Paro, acclimatise with a short walk to the Tiger’s Nest Monastery, then begin trekking from Jele Dzong through alpine forests, yak pastures, and high lakes such as Sand Ox Lake, camping under wide Himalayan skies in the heart of the Bhutan Himalaya and the Eastern Himalayas.

Over several days trekking, cross ridgelines with views of Bhutan’s sacred peaks, including Jhomolhari and Jichu Drake, and the majestic Bhutanese mountains, with glacial lakes dotting the landscape and colourful prayer flags fluttering in the wind, spreading blessings and good fortune. The route passes through open countryside with dwarf rhododendron trees, adding to the natural beauty, and reaches elevations well above 3,000 meters above sea level, offering panoramic views—weather permitting—of the surrounding Himalayan scenery. 

The pace is steady and supported by Asian Geographical's expert guide, a dedicated camp crew, and pack animals that transport your gear, with camping logistics managed throughout. After the trek, unwind in Thimphu, Bhutan's capital, then continue to Punakha for dzongs, chortens and valley walks, before returning to Paro for temples and the National Museum. It’s a coherent mix of trekking, culture and recovery time—adventurous, well-paced, and designed for travellers who want Bhutan beyond the postcard. 
 


Highlights

TIGER NEST HIKE: Begin in Paro with the Tiger’s Nest hike, building confidence for trekking while your expert guide fine-tunes kit and pacing. It’s an iconic, meaningful ascent and a superb introduction to Bhutan’s spiritual landscape before the Druk Path begins.

DRUK PATH TREK ROUTE: Trek from Jele Dzong across ridgelines, rhododendron forests, and wide grazing meadows to Jimilangtsho Lake, Janetsho Lake, and Simkota. Along the route, encounter glacial lakes and pass through areas of dwarf rhododendron trees, especially vibrant in bloom. Camps are set in quiet high country, with crisp air, big skies, and frequent Himalayan viewpoints. Your camp crew handles all camp logistics, ensuring a comfortable and relaxing experience each night.

PHUME LA PASS CROSSING: Cross Phume La Pass, marked by colourful prayer flags fluttering in the wind, and enjoy expansive views over Thimphu Valley. Then descend through juniper, rhododendron, and blue pine forests to Phajoding Monastery. Finish at Sangaygang, where your vehicle meets you for a comfortable hotel return.

Along the trail, pass colourful prayer flags fluttering in the wind, adding to the spiritual atmosphere. Your expert guide shares the story of Guru Rinpoche, believed to have flown here on the back of a tigress and meditated in a cave, giving the site its deep spiritual importance. The principal temple dates from 1692 and the complex was carefully restored after the 1998 fire. After time at the monastery, enjoy breathtaking views of the Paro Valley, weather permitting, then descend to the valley and return to Paro.

DAY 3

Jangchulakha

Distance: 10KM | Duration: 4 Hours | Ascent: 300M | Camp Altitude: 3780M above sea level. After breakfast, drive to Jele Dzong to begin the Druk Path Trek, a classic route through the Eastern Himalayas. Your guide keeps a steady pace as the trail climbs gently, then traverses below the ridgeline through dense alpine forest of rhododendrons, including dwarf varieties, and native trees. Look out for yak herders and listen for the call of the Himalayan monal in the woods. Pack animals carry your main gear, while the camp crew manages all logistics, leaving you free to enjoy the walk. As altitude increases, the air feels thinner and regular pauses and hydration are encouraged. Weather permitting, the views open towards Mount Jomolhari and surrounding snow peaks, with frequent photo stops. By afternoon, arrive at Jangchulakha, a wide yak pasture with panoramic Himalayan vistas. Settle into camp with hot drinks and a hearty meal beneath clear mountain skies.

From Jimilangtsho, the trail meanders over rolling ridges through dwarf rhododendron and open yak pasture, with wide views into remote valleys. Pass Janetsho glacial lake, its still surface reflecting rugged ridgelines, and watch for yak herder camps that reveal the semi-nomadic life of these uplands. Pack animals carry your gear while the camp crew manages all camp chores and logistics. The ascent is gradual, but altitude demands steady pacing; your guide will schedule rest stops and encourage slow breathing. After a final spur, glimpse Simkota Tsho glacial lake below, with panoramic Bhutan Himalaya views weather permitting. Camp in a quiet high pasture under crisp alpine light.

The story

This tour was inspired by our belief that Bhutan is best understood on foot, following the old ridgelines that connect valleys, monasteries and mountain communities. Set in the heart of the Bhutan Himalaya, within the Eastern Himalayas, the trek immerses you in a region renowned for its stunning natural beauty and cultural significance. After our CEO's Trans-Himalayan Expedition across remote ranges and high passes, we wanted a trek that delivers genuine altitude and wilderness, yet remains achievable within a compact timeframe.

The Druk Path offers that rare balance: alpine forests, yak pastures and high lakes, with constant Himalayan presence—Jhomolhari and Jichu Drake appearing like guardians on the horizon and sweeping views of the Bhutanese mountains. Over several days trekking along this historic route, you’ll experience a multi-day journey through breathtaking landscapes and cultural landmarks. Camping nights and quiet mornings become part of the experience, not just the scenery between viewpoints. Throughout the trek, a dedicated camp crew manages all camp logistics, while pack animals transport your gear, allowing you to focus on the adventure.

We shaped the journey to flow naturally into Bhutan’s living culture—Thimphu’s spiritual landmarks and Punakha’s great dzong—so the mountains have context and meaning. Designed for a small group, led by expert guides, it is an adventure with coherence, comfort, and a sense of far-off places earned step by step.  


ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

TRIP DESIGN, PACE & ACTIVITY LEVEL: This is a small-group trek with a steady, well-managed pace rather than a fast push. Expect moderate daily distances, high-altitude camps, and a long descent into Thimphu towards the end of the trek. Trails vary from forest paths to open ridgelines, with occasional muddy or rocky sections; confidence on uneven ground is important. The group moves with regular rest and hydration stops, and your guide will manage pacing to support acclimatisation and overall comfort.

GUIDING, TREK CREW & ON-THE-GROUND DELIVERY: You travel with Asian Geographical’s expert guide and a full trekking crew. Briefings are clear and practical, and logistics are handled end-to-end—from hotel transitions to daily camp routines. Tents, meals and camp set-up are managed by the crew so your attention stays on the walking, the landscapes and the experience on the trail.

ACCOMMODATION, CAMP STANDARDS & KIT REALITIES: Accommodation is a mix of comfortable hotels and simple camping. Camps are functional rather than luxurious, with the crew providing structure and support; nights can be cold, with crisp mornings and strong sun at altitude. Packing matters: warm layers, gloves, reliable waterproofs, and well broken-in trekking boots make a material difference for comfort on uneven ground.

WEATHER, SEASONALITY & ROUTE ADJUSTMENTS: Mountain weather can change quickly. Visibility, trail conditions and timings may vary, and the route can be adjusted for safety and overall enjoyment. A flexible mindset is part of travelling well in the Himalaya; day-by-day decisions are made to protect comfort, momentum and the quality of the trekking experience.

COMMERCIAL TERMS: PRICING, PAYMENTS, CHANGES & CANCELLATIONS: Pricing reflects the realities of operating a supported trek in Bhutan—specialist guiding, full crew, camping infrastructure, transport and permits, alongside hotel nights. Availability can be constrained by seasonal demand and crew logistics; once confirmed, amendments may be limited and can carry supplier costs. Deposit and balance deadlines, plus cancellation terms (including any non-refundable elements linked to permits and pre-paid services), are provided clearly in writing at the point of booking.
