The Druk Path Trek is the most popular trek among foreign hikers. It is because the route will take you 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 path is also a fairly easy hike to undertake as the distances between the rest camps are not too far. The trail takes you through forests of fir, blue pine, and dwarf rhododendrons at altitudes ranging between 2400-4200m. This trek also offers hikers stunning views of Mt. Gangkar Puensum, the highest unconquered peak in the world. The best times to embark on the Druk Path Trek are between March-June and September-November.
