Featured experiences
Bumthang farmhouse lunch
Meet and taste the food of one of the former cooks of the royal family of Bhutan in a traditional Farmhouse Lunch and if interested, learn how to make local “Khabzey” snacks at the farmhouse, beautifully set in an apple orchard and rice fields.
The gift of a name
Visit Sey Lakhang, where a lama will perform for you a name-giving ceremony. This will bless you with a Bhutanese name of your own which the lama will calculate based on your birthday. This ceremony will cap with the calligraphy writing of your name on Dzongkha text.
Shugdrak hike and lunch
Shugdrak is one of the four holy cliffs in Bhutan, steps imprinted in the mountain side lead up above the roof top of the temple where hermits reside in a charismatic farmhouse surrounded by prayer flags. This is the perfect spot for a picnic lunch before continuing on your journey back to the lodge.
Bumthang herbal compress
Bumthang herbal compress is the spa's signature treatment. It combines an ancient healing practice together with a full body oil massage and meridian point therapy, promoting deep relaxation while soothing aching muscles and improving circulation.
