Visitors were not allowed on the Druk route for a long time to keep them away from the Tibetan troops, but after a period of peace, this stunning trek has finally opened up for visitors, its unique culture, landscapes and beauty primed for exploration.
The Druk Path has great cultural significance, its high ridges offering windy conditions for most parts of the year, classic mountains full of charming rhododendrons, and historically preserved villages offering a peek into an ancient way of life. The clear and breathtaking views of the Himalayas can also be a mesmerizing experience.
The Druk (Dragon) Path trek is ideal for those interested in seeing Bhutan's rich culture and its stunning Himalayan vistas without committing to one of the more strenuous treks. This trek provides significant contact with the landscape and culture of this magical kingdom and is designed to maximize exposure to the countryside and provide views of Bhutan's most spectacular mountain scenery.
One of the best treks of my life...and I have done >100!
Ever changing mountain backdrop with countless >8000m snowcapped peaks and a blue sky to die for. Apart from the odd bit, the trekking was never too hard, and the tea houses were generally great along the way.
We had a great experience with Khum and this company. The transport to and from the trek was smooth. The trek holds breath-taking views with mostly straightforward days for a fit walker with a few challenging days. I highly recommend the trek for any nature lover and enthusiastic trekker. It is, however, the guide and porter that absolutely make the trek! They really do become like family on the trek. Raju has mastered the art of being a guide. He knows well when to give space and when to engage with encouragement or knowledge. We met many guides on the trek and, whilst they were all lovely, we felt especially fortunate to have Raju with his uplifting energy, enthusiastic knowledge and witty humour. Raju made the experience perfect. He acquired the best rooms he could to look after us as one of had a stomach infection. The rooms were better than expected all the way round as Raju managed to get us private rooms at every tea house and always offered extra blankets and pillows! He was patient and kind and remained positive towards achieving our goal despite the difficult illness. He also supplied the medicine which cured us and allowed us to complete the trek. It’s safe to say this would not have happened without Raju! We played cards every night and we shared different games with each other, this was a real highlight! Nima was also a lovely and caring porter who with his limited English communicated largely in kindness and respect. He was always there to help and support and several times returned from dropping the heavy bag to help! Despite the illness, the trip ran smoothly because of Raju and Nima and it has perpetuated our deep love for Nepal and a desperation to return and complete more treks. We can’t thank Raju and Nima enough for their excellency and for making our trip so special!
I highly recommend this local travel specialist! We had a wonderful experience. Thinley was very accommodating to our needs- even last minute changes. Our guide, Lhab, was very knowledgeable and he and our drivers were delightful to spend time with. I cannot say enough good things.
This trek was truly a unique experience made possible by the exceptional skills, passion, and caring support of this tour operator. Their dedication to creating this mountaineering journey allowed us to explore the real Himalayas in a safe and deeply meaningful manner. I wholeheartedly endorse this company — they have set a new standard for me in guided trekking. Thanks Guys!
I had a wonderful adventure to the top of the World. At 66 and fit, I would recommend this to everybody. The Exodus team were wonderful and the whole party got to base camp.
Without Raj, I couldn't have accomplished this trek. Despite my poor English, he managed to understand my needs patiently and tried to fulfill them. Witnessed great mountain veiws everyday.
See you again, Raj.
Our trip surpassed our expectations. We had a wonderful group and were led by an amazing leader, BK. She made sure we were well looked after, briefed and supported throughout the trip. The team, route, accommodation, food, camaraderie were all exceptional! Highly recommend this trip.
Truly great experience in an amazingly beautiful and spectacular country. We had a great team to support us with Tashi our guide really awesome! The trek was well supported with good equipment, good catering and lots of nice touches like hot water bottles at night in the tent and a beautiful celebratory lunch at the conclusion. The walk itself was spectacular and well paced. I’d highly recommend this walk and this country with its wonderful people and amazing sights!
Thank You. Everything was well organized. Especially big thanks to Sherpa Ongchhu and Nabin for excellent company. They are great people, always helpful and we really enjoyed their company. Sherpa Ongchhu is professional with exceptional knowledge about climbing and trekking and if we come to Nepal we want to trek with him.
