A classic five-day trek between Paro and Thimphu, past a string of alpine lakes and a cliffside monastery.
One of Bhutan's most popular treks precisely because it connects two towns without a long drive back to the start — you walk out of Paro and down into Thimphu, passing ancient dzong ruins, glacial lakes, and Phajoding Monastery along the way.
