Ten nights in Bhutan, paced as a restoration.

A sample shape of the week

1. Day 1

   Arrival at Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary — Paro

   Met at PBH after the morning Drukair; thirty minutes to Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary in the upper Paro valley. Welcome menchu hot stone bath in the late afternoon; an early supper of restorative Bhutanese broth; sleep.

2. Day 2

   Sowa Rigpa consultation — the constitution diagnosis

   Morning visit to the National Institute for Traditional Medicine in Thimphu; one-hour consultation with a senior Sowa Rigpa practitioner (pulse diagnosis, lifestyle and constitution discussion, recommendations). Lunch at the lodge garden; the afternoon is yours to walk in the Paro valley or rest.

3. Day 3

   Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary — the wellness programme

   Morning yoga in the lodge pavilion (the COMO Shambhala-influenced register adapted to the Bhutanese altitude); Sowa Rigpa-informed treatment in the morning; a long unhurried lunch; afternoon walk to Kyichu Lhakhang; evening menchu bath.

4. Day 4

   Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary — the integration day

   Late breakfast; morning rest; a gentle walk to a private outdoor meditation pavilion the lodge maintains in the upper valley; lunch on the trail; an afternoon of bodywork; a quiet supper.

5. Day 5

   Across to Thimphu — COMO Uma route

   The Pa Chhu valley to Thimphu; check into Six Senses Thimphu; afternoon at the textile museum (the Bhutanese textile tradition is itself a meditative register); evening menchu bath at the Six Senses pavilion.

6. Day 6

   Over Dochu La — into Punakha

   The 3,100m pass and the 108 chortens (a brief stop, the pass is itself restorative); descent to Punakha; check into Six Senses Punakha; afternoon at the dzong at the river confluence; evening at the lodge.

7. Day 7

   Punakha day — Mo Chhu walk and lodge time

   Chimi Lhakhang in the morning; the slow walk across the rice paddies to Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten; lunch by the river; afternoon at the lodge pool; evening menchu bath.

8. Day 8

   Up to Phobjikha — the high glacial valley

   Over the Lawa La; the high glacial valley silence; Gangtey Monastery on the ridge; the cranes in late afternoon if the date holds; supper at Gangtey Lodge.

9. Day 9

   Back to Paro — the integration return

   The drive back across the passes; return to Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary for the final two nights; afternoon menchu bath; supper.

10. Day 10

    The Tiger's Nest option — held for the morning

    The dawn climb at your pace if your body is ready (the Sowa Rigpa practitioner will have noted whether the constitution suits the altitude exertion); or rest at the lodge and the slow walk to the Taktsang viewing platform (15 minutes from the trailhead) if not; final supper at Bhutan Spirit Sanctuary.

11. Day 11

    The flight back

    Dawn Drukair flight back; the body returned in a different configuration than it arrived.
