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.
