Along the trail, you pass fluttering prayer flags and traditional chortens to designate the road.

A sacred lake called Jimilangtso is a perfect place to reflect and take photos.

The walk is easy, with some steep areas where trekkers can enjoy the scenery and culture. Spending the night in the tents by the lake offers a calm experience with the stars.

The road will lead to clear panoramic scenery of snow-capped Bhutan, such as the Gangkar Puensum mountain, as you ascend the mountain.

The air becomes colder and thinner, yet the spellbinding alpine landscape makes the experience worthy. Hours of continuous hiking take you to Phajoding Monastery (3,690 m), a serene place that looks down on Thimphu Valley, where the monks sit and meditate silently to the backdrop of the Himalayan landscape.

Day 05:Trek from Phajoding to Thimphu (2,350 m / 7,709 ft)

The fifth day will start with the descent of Phajoding, where you will explore the calm Thujidrak Monastery and the old Phajoding Monastery, both serene places to meditate and reflect on your spirituality.

After a few hours of hiking, you reach a road that leads to Thimphu, Bhutan’s busy capital. Thereafter, you will check into your hotel, and your adventurous Druk Path Trek will be over. You will start sightseeing in the city.
