Did the 5D4N Druk Path trek with Druk Asia
Did the 5D4N Druk Path trek with Druk Asia plus pre-hike sightseeing for acclimatisation and the Tigers Nest day hike at the tail end of the trip.
The entire experience was excellent. My guide Sonam Lhendup was extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture, iconography of Bhutan in general and the various sights (Dzongs, temples etc) in particular. This went far beyond what you could read about in guidebooks and was very educational and illuminating.
On top of that he was also an excellent trekking guide - the logistics were all very well planned, and the hiking distance and the duration per day was well thought out. Sonam also had an amazing knowledge of the birdlife and flora we saw along the way, often pointing out and identifying birds from their calls alone.
Compliments also go to the cook who really came up with excellent dishes throughout the trek. There were 2 days of rain on the trek but no one can control the weather, and the trek was still very beautiful in the rain. All in all it was really an excellent hike.
The sightseeing itinerary designed by the team was also very good. I felt like I saw probably all the significant sights in Paro, Thimphu and Punakha, which is what I wanted for my first trip to Bhutan. My driver Tschering also drove very well and importantly, safely. Not too fast, not too slow, and very careful about overtaking, which I appreciated. I won’t hesitate to book with Druk Asia again when I go back to Bhutan.
