Sixth Sense - Bumthang

In a quiet grove just beyond the sacred heart of Bumthang, Six Senses Bumthang offers an experience unlike anywhere else in Bhutan. Built with profound reverence for the land, this retreat doesn't rise above the forest—it lives within it.

With only eight suites and one villa, each space is designed to flow with its surroundings. Pine and hemlock shape the interiors, and living trees grow through open-air vestibules—a symbolic gesture of harmony between shelter and nature. Every detail reflects a commitment to place, from handwoven fabrics to walls that breathe with the forest.

At Tongtshang, the lodge's restaurant, meals draw on the highland bounty—buckwheat, foraged greens, and herbs grown nearby—crafted into thoughtful dishes that carry the flavors of Bhutan's seasons. Dine fireside on cool evenings or step onto the deck under a sky painted with prayer flags and birdsong.

Wellness rituals here echo the natural world: traditional hot stone soaks, herbal compresses, and forest-inspired therapies that invite stillness. Between treatments, walk the winding trails or join a mushroom foraging walk, pausing at temples hidden among the pines.

Six Senses Bumthang isn't just a stay—it's a quiet vow to protect, listen, and live in rhythm with the land.
