This short 6-day Druk Path trek
goes from Paro valley to Thimphu (or vice versa), crossing a chain of mountains
that separates the two valleys. Although there are very few villages to see,
there are wonderful lakes teeming with fish at 4000 meters (13,000 feet) and
spectacular rhododendron forests that bloom in May. In clear weather there are
magnificent views of the high Himalayan peaks. The Druk Path trek can be done in
all seasons, but the best times are from October to November and March to May.
Bhutan's best short trek.
Bhutan often amazes visitors
from industrialized countries. This small kingdom, hidden in the Eastern
Himalaya, is so traditional, so ancient and so completely culturally intact that
it can seem almost unreal. Its pastoral valleys are still dominated by 16th
century monasteries where red-robed lamas preside over the events of everyday
life. In high mountain valleys, the main occupation is still yak herding. Few
roads penetrate the country. The Bhutanese Government strictly restricts tourism
to preserve the traditional ways, and to travel through this kingdom is a
privilege and a chance to the peaceful way of life.
This is one of the shortest
treks, which starts from Thimpu, the capital to the enchanting valley of Paro,
across a 12,792 feet pass. The trail goes up through the forest to the monastery
of Phajoding at an altitude of 11,152 feet, which overlooks the whole of Thimpu
valley, leading to Jimilangtsho lakes
