Overview
The Druk Path Trek is an excellent choice for those new to trekking in Bhutan or short on time. It combines stunning nature, cultural experiences, and varying difficulty levels, making it ideal for those who want to explore Bhutan’s landscapes. Highlights include:
- Jele Dzong: An ancient fortress offering impressive views of Mount Jumolhari and the Paro Valley.
- Jangchulakha: A yak herders’ pasture with expansive views of the Himalayas.
- Jimilangtsho Lake: A peaceful lake known for its giant trout and views of Jichu Drake.
