Spring Trek on Bhutan's Druk Path

Explore the cultural heritage and pristine natural surrounds of Bhutan with Foundation & Friends and Relle Mott.

The mythical Land of the Thunder Dragon, boasts a rich cultural heritage of Buddhist fortresses and temples, timeless rural villages, and a remarkably well-preserved natural environment of snow capped mountains, lush valleys, pristine forests and fascinating flora. For plant lovers, spring is a delightful time to visit Bhutan to witness the brilliant display of blooming rhododendron, daphne, orchids, magnolia, clematis, primrose, pieris, prunus, enkianthus as well as a dazzling variety of meadow pasture and alpine flowers at higher altitudes. 

We combine an exceptional trek with time to explore the cultural heritage of Bhutan. In the company of our local guides we follow trails that lead high above the Paro and Thimphu valleys to gain unrivalled views of the Himalayan peaks that define the borderlands of Bhutan and Tibet. There is also ample opportunity to delight in the pristine forests of conifer, oak and rhododendrons as well as encountering yak herders as they establish their summer encampments. In Paro and Thimphu we wander the markets and appreciate the location of the monasteries and forts that reflect the deep cultural heritage of this remarkable Buddhist kingdom.
