Druk Path Trek is a short trek to Bhutan which explores its sublime natural landscape. The trek also offers beautiful views of Mt. Gangkar Puensum (7570m), the highest unscaled peak in the world.
Likewise, you pass through high mountain passes and come across mountain lakes like Jimilang Tsho and Simkota Tsho. This trek offers you incredible views of the Himalayas along the Bhutan-Tibet border.
Spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) are the best seasons to do the trek. This trek is an easier one as the distances between the rest camps is fairly short. So, great physical fitness is not a main requirement on the trek.
