Highlights of the Wellness Hiking and Spa in Bhutan

Visit Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten

  Explore Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten, which lies on the hill above Punakha Valley. However, this chorten is unique; it is not intended to serve as a community worship, monastic retreat, or education as other Buddhist institutes or colleges in Bhutan do. The hike towards Yulley is also an experience in itself, where you can spot different beautiful flowers, and walk through pine forests watching the beauty of nature. The chorten has been constructed as per the sacrosanct tantric literature; hence, it is not just an architectural masterpiece but a spiritual abode. Its sacred halls offer opportunities for silent contemplation or assisted meditation to the visitors, which perfectly coincides with the theme of inner peace and renewal that the retreat center emphasizes.

Explore Dochula Pass and Chimi Lhakhang

You’ll get the opportunity to inspect Dochula Pass, which is one of the best spots on the route to Punakha, which is also known as the highest mountain pass of the nation. You’ll notice various kinds of beautiful flowers and also prayer flags, which can be seen blowing at the pace of the wind. Moreover, also explores Chimi Lhakhang, a small but religiously important monastery that was constructed in memory of the “Divine Madman” Lama Drukpa Kunley and is supposed to grant fertility and religious safeguard to couples that pray there. The 20-minute easy stroll through rice paddies and traditional villages provides an earthy feel of the connection with local life and nature.

 Authentic Bhutanese food and dress

Experience the taste of local Bhutanese cuisine; it is not a complete wellness trip to Bhutan without experiencing its traditional clothes and food. We will also take the cultural immersion experience on one of your evenings, whereby you will have the opportunity to dress in the Bhutanese traditional dress code: Gho (men) and Kira (women). In local attire, you will be more connected to the beautiful culture and the eternal image of Bhutan. The people of Bhutan love chilies; they treat them like a staple vegetable and also cheese. Try Ema Datsi, a national dish of Bhutan, which is made with cheese and chilies. You’ll get a chance to create new experiences in the land of Bhutan.

Cultural immersion and interaction with locals

This is also one of the themes of this wellness trek of 6 days, for the opportunity for cultural immersion and impactful engagement with the Bhutanese people. More than the peaceful mountains and the five-star spas, the biggest asset that Bhutan has is its people, their hospitality, their innocence, and their strong sense of nature and religion. While staying in the farmhouse, you’ll engage with the families and get information about their daily life, and you can also get a chance to learn different things from there, like cooking and doing farming activities with your hands. It could be working in the kitchen, turning the prayer wheels, or taking a stroll with villagers around Paro Valley; these moments make heartfelt memories.

Conclusion

Active Wellness Hiking & Spa Experience Bhutan is not only a retreat but a soulful journey to the country where nature, culture, and recovery are deeply connected. Hiking up to the hills, sitting on the bank of a river, and meditating, or taking a hot stone bath, these are not only your physical voyage, but every moment is pre-planned so that you can connect with yourself and with your surroundings. The unbelievable spirituality of Bhutan, its untouched nature, and focus on the general well-being of the people, make it the ideal wellness tourism destination, to be visited by both international and local tourists.
