Duration: 5 nightsBest months: February–June · September–NovemberCountry: BhutanRegion: Paro · COMO Uma Paro · Kila Goemba · Jele Dzong · Kyichu Lhakhang · Tiger’s Nest · Taktshang monastery, Paro · Phunaka Dzong A Journey Through Bhutan’s Stillness—Designed for Two This five-night honeymoon is a gentle recalibration: Himalayan air, slow mornings, and a private rhythm anchored by daily yoga and meditation. You’ll stay at COMO Uma Paro throughout, stepping out for sacred encounters, a night under the stars, and Bhutan’s most iconic cliffside pilgrimage—then returning each time to warmth, privacy, and restoration. Paro Arrival: COMO Uma Paro and Your Couples’ Practice From the moment you land in Paro, everything moves at a calmer pace. You’ll be privately transferred to COMO Uma Paro, your base for all five nights. Here, you’ll meet your personal yoga instructor and shape a program that fits both of you—equal parts movement, breathwork, and quiet. Between sessions, keep it simple: thoughtful wellness cuisine, your pick of Como Shambala juices, and time that feels truly yours—no rush, no crowds, just space to arrive together. Nunnery Blessings: Kila Goemba and Prayer-Flag Trails With your foundation set, step into Bhutan’s spiritual landscape. You’ll hike through forest paths threaded with flags of prayer, climbing toward Kila Goemba—an ancient nunnery perched high above the valley. If timing allows, you’ll receive a blessing from the nuns before you descend. And because this honeymoon keeps adventure light and joyful, you’ll free-wheel down through the valley by mountain bike—pure, effortless fun as the mountains unfold around you. Quiet climbs, sacred corners, and a honeymoon that feels like a reset Happy Camping: Jele Dzong, Stargazing, and Silent Meditation One day is reserved for Bhutan’s softer wilderness—guided hiking through apple orchards, small villages, and pine forest until you reach a remote yak pasture framed by a whaleback ridge. While camp is prepared, you can continue upward to Jele Dzong, a crumbling temple where monks still live, or simply linger with the view. The evening ends the way it should: a shared meal by the fire and a silent meditation under a wide, star-lit sky. Spiritual Wonder: Kyichu Lhakhang, Phunaka Dzong, and Tiger’s Nest Wake to hot tea, move through a morning practice, then return toward the valley with meaningful stops woven in. You’ll visit Kyichu Lhakhang, one of Bhutan’s oldest temples, before heading back to COMO Uma Paro for recovery—massage or a hot stone bath—so your bodies feel ready for the next day’s pilgrimage. Your finale brings Bhutan’s icons: the warm glow of the sun temple, time to mingle with the locals, a guided visit to Phunaka Dzong, and the culminating hike to Tiger’s Nest—with a moment at the prayer wheel at Taktshang monastery, Paro that feels quietly unforgettable for two.

Duration: 16 nightsBest months: March–June · September–OctoberCountry: BhutanRegion: Paro · Tiger’s Nest · Takstang Monastery · COMO Uma Paro · Paro River · Mount Jomolhari · Mount Jhomolhari · Lingshi · Lingshi Dzong · Shomuthan · Robluthans · Laya · Gasa hot springs A Journey Into Bhutan’s High Himalaya—Remote, Intimate, and Wild This is the kind of honeymoon that doesn’t just “show” you Bhutan—it lets you live it, step by step. Over 16 nights, you’ll warm up in Paro, then set out on an epic two-week trek north through sacred peaks, silent ridgelines, and villages only reached on foot, before sinking into the steamy reward of the Gasa hot springs. Paro: Tiger’s Nest as Your Honeymoon Warm-Up You’ll land in Paro and begin with Bhutan’s most iconic ascent: Tiger’s Nest, also known as Takstang Monastery. The trail climbs through pine forest and fluttering prayer flags, building anticipation with every turn until the monastery appears—dramatically anchored to the cliff. After the hike, retreat to COMO Uma Paro for a final night of comfort before the trek begins—spa time, slow dinner, and early sleep in mountain air. Paro River to Mount Jhomolhari: The Trek Begins With your team in place—and a yak to take the heavy load—you’ll follow the Paro River as the landscape shifts from forested trails to broad, open valleys. Along the way, you’ll pass isolated settlements that feel untouched by the modern world. Your first major goal is base camp at Mount Jomolhari (Bhutan’s sacred summit). Expect huge horizons, crisp nights, and that rare feeling that you’re truly “away.” The higher you go, the quieter it gets—and the closer it feels Lingshi to Shomuthan and Robluthans: Ridgelines, Silence, and Wildlife After your rest at base camp, you’ll continue north, stopping overnight in Lingshi—with a must-do diversion up to Lingshi Dzong. Perched high on a ridge, this is where Bhutan’s scale becomes almost surreal: wind, sky, and a stillness that feels like a shared secret. Back on the trail, you’ll pass through Shomuthan and Robluthans, camping above rocky meadows where herds of takins and blue sheep gather in the valley. Laya to Gasa: Village Traditions, Then Hot Springs Heaven Arriving in Laya feels like stepping into a different pace of life—distinct customs, warm welcomes, and local traditions like Yak Butter Tea that turn simple moments into memories. Your final trekking day is an easy descent through rolling hills and pine-oak forest to the Gasa hot springs—the perfect honeymoon reward after two weeks on the trail. After your soak, you’ll return for a last night of rest and restoration at COMO Uma Paro, closing the journey in comfort. Signature Experiences Ready for Something Extraordinary?

You’ll begin in Bhutan, joining monks for daily prayers and intimate blessing moments, then cross into India for a world wonder at sunrise and a final stretch of deep restoration at a legendary wellness retreat in the Himalayan foothills. Thimpu: Monastery Paths, Daily Prayers & Six Senses Stillness After an overnight in Delhi, your journey starts with one of the world’s most scenic flights—Himalayan views unfolding below (and, on a clear day, a glimpse toward Everest). Touch down in Paro, then travel by chauffeur-driven car to Bhutan’s capital, Thimpu. For the next two nights, Six Senses Thimpu becomes your sanctuary: minimalist design, mountain air, and a spa that makes time feel slower. Your days are gently active—walk up to Tashichho Dzong, hike to the hillside temples of Cheri and Wangditse, then join locals for daily prayers at the Memorial Chorten. Round it out with Changangkha Lhakhang Temple, an architectural landmark where the atmosphere feels quietly powerful. Paro: Chele La Pass, Archery & Tiger’s Nest Next, you’ll move to Six Senses Paro for two nights—equally serene, and perfectly placed for Bhutan’s most iconic moments. On the way, take a scenic detour to Chele La Pass—a 13,000ft mountain road with an ancient shrine. Tie a prayer flag to the wind and let the gesture say what words can’t. Back in the valley, try Bhutan’s national sport with a private archery session, then visit a local temple for a special blessing ceremony. An early start the following day brings the headline: the cliffside hike to Takstang Monastery (Tiger’s Nest). After the descent, a traditional hot stone bath and a cup of local butter tea complete the day—warm, grounding, and unmistakably Bhutan. When the air feels sacred and the silence feels shared Delhi & Agra: A Quick Stop, Then Taj Mahal at Sunrise Leaving Bhutan behind, you’ll return to India for a brief overnight in Delhi, then catch an early morning train to Agra—timed for maximum ease. Your base is The Oberoi Amarvilas, Agra, positioned so close to the Taj you can feel its presence even from your room. Begin with a privately guided visit to Agra Fort, tracing the layers of history that shaped the city. Then, rise early to experience the Taj Mahal at sunrise—the marble softly changing color as the first light spreads across the ponds. It’s a rare kind of quiet, and one of the most romantic mornings you can share. Dehradun & Rishikesh: Ananda Wellness in the Himalayan Foothills From Agra, head north to the Himalayan foothills of Dehradun for the final chapter: four nights at The Ananda, Himalayas. This is where the honeymoon becomes restorative—expert yogis, meditative guides, spa cuisine, and programs designed to bring body and mind back into balance. For a deeper spiritual note, you can add an evening in Rishikesh on the banks of the Ganges. Attend an Aarti ceremony at dusk—candles, chants, and riverlight—then return to Ananda for one last night of mountain air, stillness, and that feeling of being completely reset together.

Thimphu: Monasteries, Markets, and Artisanship Arrive in Thimphu and let your first afternoon be a gentle introduction—prayer flags, hillside views, and the soft hum of daily devotion at Memorial Chorten. From there, you’ll visit Changangkha Lhakhang, the region’s oldest temple, where the valley opens wide beneath you. The next morning is all about local life: the bustling weekend market, tastings of everyday favorites like buckwheat noodles and dumplings, and hands-on craft heritage at the Hand Made Paper Mill and the School of Arts and Crafts. For a more intimate cultural window, you’ll visit Dechenphodrang monastic school and Zilukha nunnery to meet and interact with young monks and nuns.Where to stay: Amankora Thimphu (1 night) Punakha Valley: Dochula Pass, Fertility Temple Walks, and Punakha Dzong A scenic drive takes you across Dochula pass (3,200 meters)—a natural pause for panoramic views—before descending into the warmer, greener Punakha Valley. This is where the honeymoon pace shifts: slower mornings, softer light, and time to breathe. From COMO Uma Punakha, you can wander through paddy fields to the fertility temple at Chimi Lhakhang, then reset with spa time. One morning, you’ll explore Punakha Dzong, the country’s most elaborate temple-fortress, then opt for a half-day hike to more remote temples.

In winter, this protected valley becomes the home of endangered Black Necked Cranes, so keep your eyes open. Your days here are about space and silence: slow walks, crisp air, and the famous Phobjikha Nature trail, stretching from Gangtey Goempa temple toward soaring hilltops that make you feel wonderfully far from everything.Where to stay: Gangtey Goempa Lodge (2 nights) Paro Valley: Dzong Bridges, Archery Masters, and Tiger’s Nest Your final chapter is Paro—an iconic valley with a softer, more reflective mood. From Amankora Paro, you’ll visit Paro Dazong fortress, crossing one of the oldest wooden bridges still in use, then follow a meandering path through forest and paddy fields into Paro’s old town for local handicrafts. For a cultural highlight, you’ll watch the masters at traditional archery, Bhutan’s national sport. If you’re traveling in spring, your days can align with the five-day Paro Tsechu festivities at Paro dzong—mask dances, music, and ritual celebration. And then: the finale.

Duration: 9 nightsBest months: October–AprilCountry: Nepal · BhutanRegion: Kathmandu · Dhulikhel · Punakha · Gangtey · Paro A Journey Through the Himalayas for Two This is a honeymoon for couples who want more than scenery—who want stillness, meaning, and the kind of experiences that re-center you. Across Nepal and Bhutan, you’ll move from sacred city energy to mountain wellness, then into Bhutan’s valleys for monk-led moments, private access, and a final farewell at one of the world’s most iconic monasteries. Kathmandu: Holy Stupas, Hidden Courtyards, and Privileged Encounters You’ll arrive in Kathmandu and begin with the city’s spiritual heartbeat: the Holy Stupa of Boudhanath, where prayer wheels spin and incense hangs in the air. From there, climb to Swayambhunath, earning sweeping city views after passing the temple’s watchful monkeys. The story deepens at Pashupatinath, then continues through the market maze of Durbar Square—a place made for slow wandering and small discoveries. The next morning brings a rare moment: a visit to Kumari Ghar for privileged access to witness the Royal Kumari of Kathmandu in private worship, and time to hear firsthand what her world is like. Where to rest your head: Dwarika’s Hotel, Kathmandu Dhulikhel: Dwarika’s Sanctuary and the Art of Balance Leaving the city behind, you’ll rise into the mountains to Dwarika’s Sanctuary in Dhulikhel—a wellness-forward retreat rooted in Himalayan traditions. Days here are intentionally unhurried: work with ayurvedic experts, join meditation and yoga masters, and shape your own rhythm—private-terrace practice, pottery with local artisans, a visit to the painting atelier, and an organic hand-picked lunch at the Keth-Bari Lounge. This is the pause in the middle of the journey—the chapter that makes everything after it feel sharper, calmer, and more present. Two kingdoms, one reset: incense, peaks, and a quieter kind of luxury Punakha: River Rafting, Dzong Views, and Incense-Maker Access When you’re ready to continue, you’ll travel onward to Bhutan and arrive in Punakha—where the valley feels lush, warm, and quietly majestic. Your day begins with a rafting journey down the Mo Chhu River, ending with a picnic lunch overlooking Punakha Dzong—a view that doesn’t need a filter or a caption. Later, step beyond the standard route with a behind-the-scenes visit to the fertility temple, meeting a local incense maker and walking together to gather ingredients for the temple’s incense—small, grounded details that make the culture feel close. Your night ends in deep comfort at Six Senses Punakha, with spa time ready whenever you want it. Where to rest your head: Six Senses Punakha Gangtey and Paro: Dawn Chants, Prayer Flags, Blessings, and Tiger’s Nest Next, travel through Bhutan’s valleys to Gangtey Lodge, a serene base with sweeping views. Rise early for Gangtey Monastery at dawn, arriving to the sound of monks chanting and enjoying privileged access to areas typically closed to the public. From here, hike to the meditation huts for an intimate meeting (if in residence) with His Eminence Gangteng Tulku Rinpoche, then settle into a private picnic spot with 360-degree valley views. A meditation lesson follows—then you’ll hoist your own prayer flag, leaving a quiet mark on a place that changes you. Your final base is the lush valley of Paro. Visit Kila Nunnery for a traditional Buddhist blessing, then unwind for two nights at Six Senses Paro—with the option to add a freewheel mountain-bike descent for a little adrenaline before the spa brings you back to earth. On your final morning, hike mindfully to Taktsang Monastery (Tiger’s Nest)—a finish that feels reverent, iconic, and personal all at once. After lunch at a local farmhouse, you’ll close the journey with a private archery lesson in the woods, guided by an Olympic archer—then one last spa treatment before departure.
