Arrive in Paro and be welcomed by your private UMA by COMO guide. Transfer to the lodge — a beautifully crafted retreat nestled in the Paro Valley with sweeping views of terraced farmland and pine-covered peaks. After check-in, enjoy a personalized COMO Shambhala wellness consultation to tailor your spa programme for the days ahead. Your first evening is spent at the lodge's dining room with a farm-to-table dinner showcasing the flavors of Bhutan.
Rise early for the ascent to Taktsang Monastery — Tiger's Nest — guided through fragrant juniper and blue pine forests to this sacred clifftop site, 900 metres above the valley floor. Return to UMA by COMO in the afternoon for a restorative COMO Shambhala spa treatment: a signature blend of Bhutanese herbal hot stone therapy and deep tissue massage. End the day with a private meditation session on the lodge's sun-drenched terrace.
Spend two days exploring the Paro Valley at a mindful pace. Visit the 7th-century Rinpung Dzong and stroll the covered cantilever bridge that spans the Paro Chhu river. Walk through a traditional rural village with your private guide, sharing tea with local families and discovering the living traditions of Bhutanese agrarian life. Each morning begins with a personalized yoga session on the lodge's valley-facing deck, followed by farm-to-table breakfasts of local grain porridge, red rice, and seasonal produce.
Drive to Thimphu, Bhutan's unique capital — the world's only without traffic lights. Visit the National Memorial Chorten, the Tashichho Dzong, and observe master craftsmen at traditional painting and weaving workshops. Browse the weekend market's abundance of dried chilies, local cheese, and hand-woven textiles before returning to UMA by COMO. Your second Thimphu excursion focuses on the National Folk Heritage Museum and a private audience with a local astrologer for an insight into Bhutanese cosmology.
Cross the Dochula Pass at 3,100 metres — adorned with 108 gleaming memorial chortens — for panoramic views of the Himalayan range on a clear day. Descend into the lush Punakha Valley and explore the magnificent Punakha Dzong at golden hour, where the Mo Chhu and Pho Chhu rivers converge. The next day, walk through rice paddies to Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten before returning to UMA by COMO for a final restorative Bhutanese hot stone bath and a farewell dinner on the lodge terrace.
A final morning walk through Paro's medieval town before your transfer to the airport. Carry forward the stillness and clarity cultivated throughout your stay at UMA by COMO — a journey that reconnects you with nature, culture, and yourself. Your Nirvana Journeys team ensures a graceful and seamless departure from the Kingdom of the Thunder Dragon.
