Six Senses Bhutan Thimphu Lodge

Six Senses Bhutan Thimphu Lodge

  • visibilityRoom View:Thimphu Valley

The 25 suite and villa Six Senses Thimphu is the largest lodge in the collection. Known as a “Palace in the Sky” thanks to its 2,650-meter-high mountainside location, the lodge commands superb views of the Thimphu valley and across to the 52-metre-high Buddha Dordenma, one of the tallest Buddha statues in the world. During your stay, explore Tashichho Dzong (fortress) housing the seat of government, two 16th century buildings known as Pangri Zampa and Cheri Goemba Monastery, where the Kingdom’s first monk community was based.

Six Senses Bhutan Punakha Lodge

Six Senses Bhutan Punakha Lodge

  • visibilityRoom View:Punakha Valley

With rice terraces unfurling down into Punakha Valley below, the 19 suite and villa Six Senses Punakha is referred to as the “Flying Farmhouse amidst the Rice Fields,” where sweeping views of the valley dotted with paddy fields and traditional farming houses are best enjoyed from the infinity pool. Nearby places of interest include the Punakha Dzong, a masterpiece of Bhutanese architecture with 21 temples, the historical worship house at Chimi Lhakhang and the regal Khamsum Yuelley Namgyel Chorten.

Six Senses Bhutan Gangtey Lodge

Six Senses Bhutan Gangtey Lodge

  • visibilityRoom View:Phobjikha Valley

Located in the little-visited Phobjikha Valley at an elevation of 3,000 meters, Six Senses Gangtey sits on the western slopes of the Black Mountains, a glacial valley and designated conservation area. With just 8 suites and 1 villa, the lodge offers perfect seclusion and décor is dominated by uncluttered lines and a natural palate. Gangtey is widely known as the home of the picturesque 16th-century Gangtey Monastery, and throughout the winter, black-necked cranes can be viewed from the lodge, the nearby Crane Center or a viewing hide situated near the main nesting grounds. 

Six Senses Bhutan Bumthang Lodge

Six Senses Bhutan Bumthang Lodge

  • visibilityRoom View:Jakar Valley

Inspired by the surrounding natural landscape located directly within an evergreen pine grove in the Jakar Valley, Six Senses Bumthang takes on the name “Forest within a Forest” and offers 8 suites and 1 villa, chic décor and eco-friendly furniture, handcrafted from recycled wood. There’s plenty to discover in Bumthang, with special highlights being the neighbouring palace, Wangdichhoeling, the grand Kurjey Lhakhang, considered one of Bhutan’s most hallowed monuments, and Tamzhing Lhundrup Lhakhang, the most important ancient temple in the Kingdom.

Six Senses Bhutan Paro Lodge

The Tiger's Nest Monastery

For a true experience of spiritual Bhutan – the last Himalayan Kingdom in which Buddhist traditions have lasted for centuries – take an unforgettable trip to the jewel in the country’s crown: Taktshang Goemba, or Tiger’s Nest Monastery. Perched incredibly on the side of a cliff, 900m above the floor of Paro Valley, the goemba is truly breathtaking, housing four intricately designed temples that still function as a working monastery today. After an utterly worthwhile uphill hike, join an expert guide as you discover the stunning site’s sacred caves, striking carvings and traditional chapels.

The Tiger's Nest Monastery
Dzongs

Beguiling Bhutan is dotted with numerous striking dzongs – fort monasteries that were historically built in places of strategic military importance, housing many of the region’s significant relics and texts. Now vibrant hubs of religious and cultural activity – as well as important regional administration centres – Bhutan’s iconic forts are well worth exploring. The second to be built in Bhutan, in 1637, and one of the country’s most beautiful, Punakha Dzong is the winter residence of the central body of monks. The majestic Trashi Chho Dzong sits seamlessly in the stunning valley, whilst Paro Dzong boasts some of Bhutan’s most marvellous architecture.

Dzongs
Mountains

Nestled between powerful China and India, the remote Kingdom of Bhutan stands in the striking 7000-metre-high Himalayan Mountains, boasting utterly flawless scenery. Offering one of the last truly pristine locations in the entire Himalaya, environmental protection is of utmost importance; by law, at least 60% of the country must remain forested for all future generations. Take a once-in-a-lifetime guided excursion as you explore the beautiful country’s dramatic glacial river valleys and majestic, snow-capped mountain peaks that rise up out of lush forests, enjoying truly breathtaking views and encountering fascinating wildlife.

Mountains
Wildlife Encounters

Thanks to its variety of climatic conditions and countless national parks, Bhutan – despite its small size – is home to a remarkable abundance of flora and fauna, making it among the most biologically diverse regions in the world. One of the most important wildlife preserves in the country, the Phobijika glacial valley – bordering Jigme Singye Wangchuck National Park on the western slopes of the Black Mountains – houses a spectacularly large flock of Black-necked Cranes in the winter, as well as Mutjacs, wild boars, Himalayan Black Bears, leopards, Sambar Deer, Serows and Red Foxes.
