Pilgrimage Tours
A Vibedu venture
Cross the ridgeline between Paro and Thimphu past alpine lakes and prayer-flagged passes
The Druk Path Trek is Bhutan's classic short high trek, linking Paro and Thimphu over five to six days along a ridge of alpine lakes, yak pastures and prayer-flagged passes. It is scenic but demanding and seasonal, crossing altitudes above 4,000 metres, so a good level of fitness and proper acclimatisation matter. Camps sit beside trout-filled lakes with, on clear days, distant views of the high Himalaya. We provide guided support, camping crew and your Bhutan entry permit; mountain weather and views, of course, we cannot promise.
Land at Paro and acclimatise gently with a valley walk. Trek briefing, kit check and an early night before the climb.
A steady ascent through forest to Jele Dzong, camping on the ridge with valley views opening below.
Ridge walking through rhododendron and yak country, with high pastures and the chance of grazing herds.
Continue along the ridge to camp beside the trout-filled Jimilang Tsho, one of the route's highlights.
Pass alpine lakes and prayer flags to the higher Simkotra camp, the trek's most remote night.
Climb Phume La for the finest panorama, then descend past Phajoding into Thimphu to end the trek.

The Druk Path is the best-loved short trek in Bhutan, covering roughly 40 kilometres over five to six days between Paro and Thimphu. It rewards moderate effort with alpine lakes, high passes and, weather permitting, sweeping Himalayan horizons.
This is a demanding high-altitude trek reaching above 4,000 metres, with long ridge days and cold nights. We build in gradual ascent and advise arriving fit; altitude affects everyone differently, so we pace the route sensibly and carry a first-aid kit.
The reliable windows are spring (March to May) for rhododendrons and autumn (September to November) for the clearest skies. The route is best avoided in monsoon and deep winter, when snow can block the passes.
Indian nationals do not require a visa. You travel on an Entry Permit plus the Sustainable Development Fee, currently ₹1,200 per person per night (subject to change; children discounted, under-6 exempt), carrying a passport or Voter ID. Holiday Vibez arranges the entry permit as part of the trek package.
Guided trekking with a licensed local leader, camping crew, pack animals, meals on the trail and hotel nights in Paro and Thimphu.
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
From the 30-minute callback to our private villa in Ubud, every little detail was handled. Our guide even arranged a surprise candle-lit dinner on the beach. Zero stress — pure magic.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
