Today you have the hike of taking a steep, 1½-hour hike to a teahouse, where you can enjoy a great view of Taktsang Monastery (its name means "tiger's nest"), perched on a cliff 2,700 feet above the floor of the Paro Valley. The hike follows a steep switchback trail through the forest, and after a break with tea and cookies, you have the option to sit outside the cafe and admire the monastery and its beautiful surroundings or, if you feel energetic, to continue another thirty minutes to a closer viewpoint.

    I went on the Druk Path Trek and had an amazing time. From organizing travel documents with Thinley to the best guide ever, Rinzin, everything went smoothly. The food provided on the trek was delicious as well. Bhutan has been a country that I’ve wanted to visit for years and I’m grateful for having the opportunity to experience this beautiful country. Please do not hesitate to book your travels with Bhutan Best Inbound Tour!

    I was a teacher in Singapore and have traveled extensively in Asia and around the world. Bhutan is an incredibly special place. The trip was absolutely fantastic. The cultural experience, the natural landscape, the people, and the food - all of it was wonderful. The owner was super responsive during the planning phase. He made everything really easy. He went above and beyond to get a suitcase back to us that had been left behind in Bangkok. Our guide and driver made everything run smoothly and safely. I would go back to Bhutan in a heartbeat, and I would definitely use this company again!
