Discover Bhutan's serene, soul-stirring rhythm on this immersive nine-day yoga retreat. This journey is designed for travelers who seek stillness, cultural connection, and mindful discovery. It unfolds through lush valleys, sacred monasteries, and peaceful mountain villages. Each day combines guided yoga, meditative hikes, traditional wellness rituals, and hands-on cultural experiences—from lighting butter lamps to soaking in a hot stone bath. Balanced between movement and stillness and influenced by nature and nurture, this retreat offers a boutique and deeply personal way for guests to experience Bhutan.
One sacred journey. Two soulful ways to experience it.
For those called to stillness in their own time, this path is perfect for solo seekers, couples, or intimate circles. Travel when your spirit whispers 'now.' We'll harmonize your yoga, wellness rituals, and cultural immersions with Bhutan's natural rhythms and sacred spaces.
We open this journey to a small gathering of kindred souls a few times a year. These retreats are timed with Bhutan's vibrant festivals or meaningful celestial moments, offering guided yoga sessions, shared reflections, and a sense of deep belonging.

Meet your Bhutan team — guide, yoga instructor, and driver — and journey to Thimphu, Bhutan's tranquil capital. Ease into the rhythm of your Bhutan retreat with a gentle walk, warm herbal tea, and traditional dinner. Optional strolls through town and a soft evening satsang set the tone for mindful days ahead.
Start with a gentle flow yoga session framed by Himalayan vistas. Spend the morning painting, carving, and preparing traditional snacks at an artisan institute. In the afternoon, hike to a mountain monastery, where you'll light butter lamps, join the monks in prayer, and fall asleep in sacred silence after a soul-soothing sound bath.
Awaken to hatha yoga in the monastery before descending on foot to Thimphu. Travel east through high passes and arrive in a sun-warmed valley of rice fields and rivers. Imagine a vibrant local celebration, sharing dances and stories before settling into your boutique eco-lodge.
Begin the day with heart-flow yoga surrounded by forest and sky. Hike to a hidden temple, raft past riverside fortresses, and share a peaceful riverside lunch. Plant trees with monks, try archery, and dine under the stars beside a crackling bonfire before unwinding in twilight yoga.
Practice yoga at a hillside temple, then receive blessings at a sacred fertility site known for its joyful irreverence—a journey into the mountains to Gangtey, a glacial valley of peace and prayer. End the day with restorative yoga and dinner in a secluded eco-lodge.
Move with the breath in morning hatha yoga overlooking the valley. Explore Bhutanese village life on a forested hike, then share a slow lunch in a local farmhouse. Recharge in a classic hot stone bath and, if you choose, embark on a horseback trek through the serene pine forests. Conclude your day with evening yoga and personal reflection.
Trace mountain roads west toward Paro, Bhutan's spiritual cradle. Enjoy slow moments — tea stops, hilltop photo breaks, riverside lunch — as you arrive. After a long journey, stretch and rest with gentle yoga before a quiet dinner and a briefing for tomorrow's sacred hike.
Rise early to hike to the cliffside sanctuary of Tiger's Nest — Bhutan's most iconic site and the soul of your yoga vacation. Pause for reflection with a mountaintop yoga session and prayer flag hoisting. After descending, indulge in a wellness spa treatment, explore local crafts, and gather for an evening sound bath.
Greet your final morning with farewell yoga and a nourishing breakfast. Depart Bhutan gently, carrying blessings, insights, and a quiet joy that will stay with you long after the journey ends.
Your journey with Raven is thoughtfully curated to feel seamless, immersive, and personal. We take care of the essentials—and the extraordinary—so you can focus on being fully present.
We keep things beautifully simple. The following items are excluded:
Every Raven journey begins with a simple hello and grows into something personal, soulful, and deeply rooted in Bhutanese culture. What you see here is just a glimpse; the real itinerary takes shape after we learn what moves you, what pace you like, and what moments matter most.
Rather than sending a set schedule, we take time to craft something that feels just right for the season and you. When you're ready, we'll begin that process together with heart, care, and intention.
