YOGA,MEDITATION & MINDFULNESS

Yoga venues vary—from sometimes practicing in quiet hotel studios to open-air sessions beneath prayer flags or within temple courtyards. Each day begins with morning yoga in stunning settings, supported by experienced instructors and English-speaking Bhutanese guides.

Grounding yoga sessions begin each day as you welcome the elements with intention and breath—whether beneath fluttering prayer flags or in sacred temple courtyards. In the evenings, join nuns for communal prayers—a serene, soul-stirring experience amidst the echo of ancient chants.

One of the journey’s highlights is the ascent to Tiger’s Nest Monastery. The trail winds through a fragrant forest of blue pines, past a water-powered prayer wheel that spins in quiet harmony with a nearby stream As you climb, colorful prayer flags flutter overhead, signaling your progress toward the sacred site.

Nestled dramatically on a sheer cliff around 3,120 m (10,240 ft) above the Paro Valley, the monastery seems to defy gravity. Upon reaching the top, take time to linger in the temple’s serene chambers—meditating in one of the temple chambers where Guru Rinpoche once practiced—immersed in a deep sense of stillness and spiritual awe.
