What to do in Bhutan

Gangkhar Puensum, standing at a towering 7,570 meters on the Bhutan-China border, is the world's highest unclimbed mountain.

Druk Path Trek is one of the finest short treks in Bhutan. Leading through an ancient trading route, over high mountain passes, it connects the valleys of Paro and Thimphu. The trek begins by walking up through apple orchards and pine forest past ruined Jele Dzong (fortress), which sits on a high grassy ridge with breath-taking views of Mount Jumolhari to the north. In the next 4 days, you climb above the tree line and cross several passes, including the Phume La (4210m.). En route, you come across clear mountain lakes, number of yak herder’s camps and have splendid views of Himalaya along the Bhutan – Tibet border including Mount Jumolhari, Jichu Drake and Gangkar Puensum. The final descent through pine and juniper forests via Phadjoding monastery would lead into Thimphu, the capital city of Bhutan.

After exploring around beautiful valley, walk down to Jimi chu and climb up to Janey Tsho where we camp at scenic spot surrounded by dwarf rhododendron trees.
