Bhutan is well-known for some of the best and most exciting trekking trails in the Himalayan region. Many tourists visit Bhutan to explore the untouched beauty of the mountains – best experienced on foot. The Druk Path trek is one of the finest short trekking routes in Bhutan. Connecting the valleys of Paro and Thimpu, the trail leads over high passes on an ancient trading route, passing through spectacular rhododendron forests, alpine yak pastures and beautiful lakes stocked with snowy mountain trout.
The trek begins via apple orchards and pine forests past a ruined Jele Dzong (fortress), which sits on a high grassy ridge overlooking breathtaking views of Mount Jumolhari to the north. In the next four days, we climb above the tree line and cross several passes including the Phume La (4210m). En route, we come across amazing clear mountain lakes, a number of yak herder’s camps and the splendid view of the Himalayas. At the end of the trail, descend through the pine and juniper forests via Phadjoding monasteries and head to the capital of Bhutan.
Excellent experience with our guide and porters. They were able to accommodate quick changes in our plans when some of our members showed symptoms of AMS. They are also some of the fittest people I have ever met and are kind and entertaining at the same time. It was a pleasure to learn about their culture. If you ever get the opportunity, see if you can learn and play Baghchal.
Amazing!!!! If you're looking for an alternative track to Everest Camp, with less crowds and less congestion you won't be disappointed by choosing Gokyo lakes including the Gokyo Ri climb - 5380m! Offering views of crystal clear blue lakes, the largest glacier in the park and ofcourse views of Everest can be seen from here - but not nearly as many tourists on track! The homestays and the families there are very hospital and ensuring that you'll have a warm and comfortable stay. There are a variety of meals to choose from at the home stays with fresh fruit and vegetables - exceptional considering the isolation! Great hospitality with even greater views. The track is a great option too for families / elderly people. I did the track with my mum and it certainly won't be our last time here.
This was an unforgettable trip and we truly had a great time. Yangyang Li was very good in helping put the tour together. When we had a couple of hiccups during the trip, Yangyang was always very fast to act and make arrangements if something was not to our liking. She did a great job and I would recommend anyone to work with her. She and the company are very professional and very quick to respond (even on a Sunday, she gets right back to you)

We recently commenced on Manaslu Circuit trek with this agency, and we were thoroughly impressed by their professionalism and reliability.
Our journey to Nepal was between 12th to 28th May, 2023. It was our fourth visit to Nepal and prior to this trek, we had already experienced the Everest Base Camp (EBC), Annapurna Base Camp (ABC), and Kanchenjunga treks.
Our 15-day adventure on the Manaslu Circuit was truly a blessing, filled with exciting experiences. Despite the growing popularity of this trail, we found it to be refreshingly less crowded compared to the commercial routes leading to Everest and Annapurna base camps.
We successfully completed our Manaslu journey with the invaluable assistance of our guide and our porter.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the entire team for their generous support during our visit to Nepal. Rest assured, we are already looking forward to our next trip to this amazing country.

Excellent support by the local tour operator. We had a wonderful trek in the Poon hill Region. Our guide Bikram & his team were fantastic. I see poon hill when sun is rise wow, i can't forget this is far good. The climb is really hard but the views and scenery is awesome.
Had an awesome experience largely part to our very knowledgeable & laid back guide, Dipesh Chhetry. I highly recommend that he be awarded Guide of the Year!
An amazing, fantastic fun filled holiday that I will never forget. So many memories made and experiences had. Son made that possible! I will definitely look at other Glux trips in the future.

Thanks to the very swift reply of Thinley and his team an easy booking of my 13 days of stay in Bhutan was complete in 3 days including flights to Paro and e-Visa. Thinley was always responsible to my needs during my stay. This local travel specialist does have excellent connections so that my trekking was led by an experienced mountain guide and a team, which made my trekking experience very safe. They do also have a wide variety of 3* to 5* hotels, which accommodate everybody’s need. As a trekker I chose 3* hotels and was very happy.
From start to finish, the local travel agency was a stellar company to work with!
During the planning phase, Raj the owner was readily communicative and accommodating in customizing our trip to suit our individual desires and helpful in navigating the complex travel restrictions during the pandemic.
