Mindfulness in the Mountains: A Wellness Retreat Tour in Bhutan

Create with Us Best Memories
The Mindfulness in the Mountains retreat tour by Geo Bhutan Travels offers more than just breathtaking scenery—it’s a complete wellness experience designed to heal and revitalize you from the inside out. Here’s what you can expect from this life-changing journey:
Yoga is a central element of our retreat, designed to align your physical well-being with mental clarity. Imagine practicing sun salutations with the sun rising over the Himalayan peaks or engaging in gentle restorative yoga by the stunning Phobjikha Valley. Our experienced instructors guide sessions that suit all levels, helping you reconnect with your body and mind in the most awe-inspiring locations.
After a day of yoga and meditation, indulge in one of Bhutan’s oldest and most relaxing traditions—a hot stone bath. Using river stones heated in fire, the bathwater is infused with local medicinal herbs known for their therapeutic properties. This traditional Bhutanese practice not only relaxes sore muscles but also detoxifies and rejuvenates the body, leaving you feeling completely renewed.
Start each day with guided meditation sessions held in some of Bhutan’s most serene and sacred sites. From the banks of peaceful rivers to the tranquility of ancient monasteries, you’ll experience meditation like never before. Feel the stress melt away as you practice mindfulness surrounded by the calming sounds of nature and centuries-old Buddhist chants. One of the highlights includes a meditation session at Paro Taktsang, or the Tiger’s Nest Monastery, perched high on a cliff—a spiritual experience that awakens inner peace.
In Bhutan, nature is considered sacred, and time spent in nature is deeply healing. Engage in Shinrin-Yoku, or forest bathing, as you walk through Bhutan’s lush, unspoiled forests, breathing in the pure Himalayan air and experiencing the natural beauty all around. These guided nature walks offer moments of quiet reflection and deep relaxation, fostering a sense of mindfulness and gratitude.
Explore the healing powers of Bhutanese traditional medicine, based on ancient Buddhist principles. You’ll have the opportunity to meet local traditional healers and learn about herbal remedies used for centuries to balance the body’s elements. Optional consultations with traditional physicians are available to help address specific health concerns and restore physical harmony.
Mindful Eating and Bhutanese Cuisine
Nourishing your body with healthy, wholesome food is an integral part of the wellness retreat. You’ll savor organic, locally grown Bhutanese cuisine, featuring dishes like Ema Datshi (chili and cheese), red rice, and various herbal teas, prepared with an emphasis on balance and vitality. Every meal is an opportunity to practice mindful eating, allowing you to appreciate each bite while connecting with the flavors of Bhutan’s rich culinary traditions.
Sacred Temples and Monasteries
Your wellness journey wouldn’t be complete without exploring the spiritual heart of Bhutan. Visits to sacred sites like Buddha Dordenma, one of the largest Buddha statues in the world, and the ancient Punakha Dzong offer moments of reflection and spiritual awakening. These temples, steeped in history and devotion, serve as a reminder of Bhutan’s deep-rooted spiritual practices and are the perfect settings for mindful contemplation.
