À vivre

Bumthang is the easternmost of the Six Senses lodges. From Gangtey, an unforgettable journey takes you through spectacular landscapes made up of terraced fields, deep valleys with rivers, and farms perched precariously on high ground, along the sole east–west highway ingeniously carved into the mountain. The road to Bumthang leads to the scenic Yotong La mountains and descends into the Chhume valley, where Bhutan's famous Yathra weaving is practised.

Layout

Set in the heart of a pine forest, the lodge was carefully designed and named “forest within a forest.” This reflects the lodge's unique design, offering guests a truly special experience and setting it apart from other lodges.
It comprises 8 spacious suites with terraces and a villa. There is a library, a common lounge, an all-day restaurant, a spa and wellness centre.

Rooms

The suites and villa are spacious and comfortable, offering all the amenities you need for your stay as well as a terrace.

SPA

The Six Senses spa and wellness centre has two single treatment rooms and a hot stone bath.

Activities offered

Bumthang holds many places worth discovering, in particular the neighbouring Wangdichhoeling Palace, where the late King Jigme Wangchuck is laid to rest, along with the prayer wheels in its immediate vicinity. Further up the valley, the grand Kurjey Lhakhang temple is considered one of Bhutan's most sacred monuments, once a burial site of Guru Rinpoché, while Jambay Lhakhang temple hosts the first winter festivals, drawing thousands of Bhutanese for their annual blessings. Heading back towards town, on the other side of the Bumthang Chhu river, Tamshing Monastery is said to absolve sins, while you can also discover the valley's unique craft enterprises: the Red Panda Brewery, the Bumthang cheese and dairy factory, and the Bumthang distillery, offering a range of distinctive spirits.
