As I understand it, by the time you're in a Cygwin bash shell, the
environment variable has been changed by the Cygwin DLL, and the
original Windows value is gone.  But I believe launching a Windows
process will restore it, so you can try this:

cmd /c "echo %PATH%".

Not at my Cygwin box to test, though.
