Wellness & Spirituality
Find inner peace through meditation retreats, hot stone baths, and spiritual teachings in the Land of Happiness.
Wellness Experiences in Bhutan
Bhutan's philosophy of Gross National Happiness extends to its approach to wellness. The kingdom offers unique opportunities to rejuvenate mind, body, and spirit in some of the most serene settings on Earth.
Traditional Hot Stone Bath (Dotsho)
Experience the ancient Bhutanese healing tradition of the hot stone bath. River stones are heated in fire and placed in a wooden tub filled with water and medicinal herbs. The minerals from the stones combined with Artemisia leaves create a therapeutic soak that relieves muscle pain, improves circulation, and promotes deep relaxation.
Best enjoyed after a day of trekking, the Dotsho is typically taken under the stars with the sounds of nature as your soundtrack.
