Your Journey Through Bhutan

Travel to Thimphu, Punakha, Gangtey, and Paro Valley in Bhutan and embark on a journey back in time that few have had the chance to experience. Known as Druk Yul, or the Land of the Thunder Dragon, Bhutan boasts a rich cultural heritage that has remained largely hidden until its recent debut on the world stage.

Explore the breathtaking natural beauty of the country, connect with Bhutanese locals, and embrace the philosophy of a nation guided by the principles of ‘Gross National Happiness.’ These khamsas strike the perfect balance between meaningful encounters, unique experiences, and a healthy dose of fun.

Lodges in Bhutan

Six Senses Punakha

This beautiful lodge has a rustic feel and is blessed with a warmer climate thanks to lower elevations. You’ll find a choice of suites and villas, pool, boutique, yoga and meditation huts, and from here you can visit one of Bhutan’s the highlights: the majestic Punakha Dzong.

Six Senses Thimphu

Situated within apple orchards and pine forests, yet still within reach of the capital’s attractions, Six Senses Thimphu is perched on an auspicious hillside overlooking the shimmering lights of Thimphu. With its grand design and outdoor ponds reflecting the sky above, this is our very own Palace in the Sky.

Six Senses Paro

Designed to maximize what is surely one of the most scenic settings within the Six Senses Bhutan journey, this lodge is known as Stone Ruins – you’ll understand why when you dine among them. It is a convenient base for an early start and dramatic climb to one of Bhutan’s most famous cultural icons, Taktsang Lhakhang, or Tiger’s Nest Monastery.
