For a truly immersive forest escape, little beats Six Senses Bumthang. Hidden away amongst the towering, fragrant pine trees of the Bumthang Valley, the wooden lodge feels like an organic part of the forest and the offerings of the property take their cue from this natural environment. From the small spa with its hot stone bath to the guided meditation, and peaceful library, the calm of the forest permeates every area. Whether visiting the 16th century Tamzhing Lhundrup Lhakhang temple, horseback riding to the Kencho Sum Lhakhang monastery or
hiking to Padseling Goemba hilltop fortress, the beauty of the valley is a constant presence.
The eight suites and one two-bedroom villa are spread through the forest, blending into the landscape with timber walls, large windows, spacious balconies, and even a courtyard with its own tree. Meals also make the most of the pristine natural bounty on the doorstep, with delicious, hearty Bhutanese cuisine made from local ingredients and served with a view.
Perched at 2,250 metres, Amankora Paro is tucked away amongst the pine trees on the edge of a village above Paro town and offers access to the monasteries, museums and temples of the region, including the renowned Tiger’s Nest.
