Best MICHELIN Hotels in Asia for Discovering Ancient Temples and Cultural Landmarks

"Spanning five lodges across Bhutan’s most sacred valleys, this journey offers a rare way to experience the kingdom’s spiritual and geographical heartlands. Begin your morning with meditation or yoga in an open-air pavilion as prayer flags flutter in the wind, then head out by foot or bicycle through forests threaded with ancient trails and flanked by snow-dusted peaks. Each valley offers its own quiet revelations: Thimphu’s modern-meets-mystic pace; Punakha’s terraced rice fields and river confluences; Gangtey’s black-necked cranes and high-altitude calm; and Bumthang, the spiritual heartland, where temples, dzongs, and stories feel older than time itself. In Paro, home to the Tiger’s Nest monastery — precariously perched on a cliffside — the experience reaches both a literal and figurative high point. Perhaps the greatest reward is the sense of stillness that lingers long after you’ve returned." - Faye Bradley
