Your Journey, Step by Step
There is no electricity at the campsites along the Druk Path Trek in Bhutan. Trekkers should plan for several days without access to power and consider bringing portable power banks for essential devices. Embrace the rustic and eco-friendly experience of camping under the starry skies amidst the breathtaking landscapes of the Himalayas.
As you venture into the wilderness and higher altitudes, the availability of networking and internet facilities diminishes. Once you leave the main towns and trek into the mountains, you may not have access to mobile network signals or internet connectivity. The trek route takes you through remote and pristine areas where the focus is on immersing in nature rather than being digitally connected.
Our dedicated team of experienced guides and porters will be invaluable companions throughout your Trek, providing essential support and assistance to ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey. The guides will bring their expertise and local knowledge to the table, offering insights into the region, its trails, and the local culture. They will prioritize your safety, provide guidance on managing altitude sickness symptoms, monitor weather conditions, and make adjustments as needed.
In terms of logistics, our team of porters will take care of the heavy lifting, carrying the majority of the equipment, food, and supplies needed for the trek. This allows you to trek with a lighter backpack, reducing the physical strain and allowing you to focus on enjoying the journey.
We will provide trekking guides with a ratio of one guide per 5-6 participants. Additional support staff, such as porters, will be provided to carry the group’s shared equipment and belongings. The porters will carry your load of up to 20 kg so pack your bag accordingly.
Moreover, the spring and autumn months allow for enriching cultural encounters. Trekkers have the opportunity to visit ancient monasteries and sacred sites, interact with friendly locals, and witness vibrant festivals that celebrate Bhutanese traditions and spirituality.

Trekking in Bhutan is generally costlier than trekking in countries like Nepal due to various factors, including government regulations, tourism policies, and the overall approach to tourism.
Bhutan follows a policy of “high-value, low-impact” tourism, aiming to preserve its unique culture, traditions, and environment. To achieve this, the Bhutanese government has set a minimum daily package fee for tourists, which covers essential services like accommodation, meals, transportation, and a licensed guide.
