ملخص

Bhutan, also known as “the land of the thunder dragon,” is a country of mountains, monasteries and mysteries, tucked away in the folds of the Himalayas. It is famous for its authentic culture, pristine nature, wildlife, and the unparalleled beauty of its mountains and valleys. 

 

This trip offers you an introduction to this Himalayan kingdom that remains a hidden gem in the world. On its land, you will find inspiration and inner peace, for there is joy emanating from the forests and genuine kindness in the smiles of its people. You will follow the Druk Path, which is one of the most popular treks in Bhutan, as it offers stunning views of mountains, valleys, and lakes. Although it exceeds at points an altitude of 4,000 m, it is not very strenuous, while the camping sites are not far from each other. At the end of each hiking day, a luxurious camp will wait for you, pitched in locations of otherworldly beauty. You will find such comfort and luxury that the time you will spend there will turn into one of the trip’s most precious highlights.

 

Highlights:

Get ready to:

·       Hike along the Druk Path that connects Paro and Thimphu (the two biggest cities of Bhutan), passing through the mountains.
