The Drukpath Trek | Destination information
On this trip you will be visiting the main western towns of Thimphu, Paro and Punakha. Western Bhutan is comparatively more developed than the rest of the country. Thimphu, the capital, has all the important government offices, including the King’s Secretariat. Paro has the only airport and Punakha is the ancient capital of Bhutan.
The Drukpath Trek traces the trail used by the nomads when they move their yaks to different grazing grounds. You will come across some lakes; most of these lakes are considered sacred and people make pilgrimages to visit them.
