In Bhutan, high-value, low-volume tourism enables investment in transformative programs that preserve Bhutan's cultural traditions, protect its heritage and environment, upgrade infrastructure, create opportunities for its young people, and build resilience. This model, which includes a Sustainable Development Fee, also protects the Kingdom's natural resources, with 70 percent of the land remaining under forest cover.
Bhutan's appeal is as much about its people as it is about its beauty, which is another important part of the guest experience. Visitors make deep connections with their guides, hosts, and local communities and want to come back.
Located in the Kingdom's western and central valleys, each of the five Six Senses lodges has a unique character and interpretation of Bhutan's spirituality, heritage, and hospitality. Six Senses Thimphu is perched on an auspicious hillside overlooking the shimmering lights of Thimphu. The "Flying Farmhouse Amidst the Rice Fields" Six Senses Punakha is a stone's throw from the majestic Punakha Dzong. Six Senses Paro is set among stone ruins and is designed to maximize what is undoubtedly one of the most scenic settings within the Six Senses Bhutan journey. Six Senses Gangtey is in a quaint and charming area in central Bhutan, well-known as the winter residence of the black-necked cranes. Built as a forest within a forest, Six Senses Bumthang is an auspicious base to discover monuments, monasteries, and winter festivals.
Guests can visit one or any combination as part of innovative itineraries or "Khamsas", accompanied by a private Guest Experience Maker guide and driver throughout the journey. To mark the Reopening Celebration, guests booking by October 31, 2022, will enjoy one additional complimentary night with any six-night paid stay and two extra nights with a nine-night paid stay. Landing at Paro International Airport, the 10-Night Khamsa journey offers a mix of some of Bhutan's not-to-be-missed sites, visiting some lesser-known places along the way.
