Trekking the Druk Path was a transformative experience for me. At 52, I was nervous about the altitude and terrain, but the well-paced itinerary and supportive trekking crew made it enjoyable and achievable. I loved the quiet moments by the alpine lakes, the scent of the pine and rhododendron forests, and the wholesome meals prepared by our cook. The weather was crisp and clear in early spring, and the flowers just beginning to bloom added color to the landscape. Ending the trek in Thimphu with a hot shower and traditional dinner was the perfect close. For mature travelers seeking a gentle introduction to Himalayan trekking, the Druk Path is a wise and fulfilling choice.
