Package Overview

The six day trek is the most popular trek in the country as 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.
The Druk Path Trek is also a fairly easy hike to undertake as the distances between rest camps is fairly short. The trail takes you through forests of fir- blue pine and dwarf rhododendrons at altitudes ranging between 2400-4200 m. On the third day hikers will arrive at Jimiling Lake- whose crystal clear waters are home to gigantic trout. This trek also offers hikers stunning views of Mt. Gangkar Puensum- the highest unscaled peak in the world. The best times to embark on the Druk Path Trek are between March-June or September-November.
