Thimphu, Paro and Punakha Tour Overview
A balanced blend of Himalayan trekking and Bhutanese culture. After arrival and acclimatization in Paro, set out on the classic Druk Path Trek: hike from Jele Dzong along high ridgelines to Jangchulakha and on to the alpine lakes of Jimilangtsho, with sweeping views (weather permitting) of Jomolhari and the Paro–Thimphu valleys. Trek with licensed guide, crew, pack animals, and hot meals. Conclude in Thimphu with a well-deserved rejuvenation day (spa/hot stone bath optional), then take a scenic day trip to Punakha to visit the riverside dzong before returning to Paro for departure. Ideal for active travellers seeking a moderate multi-day trek plus cultural highlights.
Best Season
