SURROUNDED BY A PLETHORA OF PICTURESQUE WALKING TRAILS
Framed by thick pine forests at the heart of the Punakha Valley, the Dhensa Boutique Resort radiates calm and tranquillity.
The resort’s minimalist, uncluttered aesthetic keeps the focus on Punakha’s beautiful hillsides. Floor-to-ceiling windows lead out onto private balconies where you can soak up the crisp mountain air each morning. The restaurant offers a simple but nourishing menu of Bhutanese and Western-style dishes crafted out of seasonal, local and organic produce.
The resort itself is surrounded by a plethora of picturesque walking trails, including the short trek up the mountain to the historic Sangchhen Dorji Lhuendrup Lhakhang Nunnery. When you’re not hiking the surrounding hillsides, you can take to rafting on the river or get a taste of local life on a village visit. Otherwise, the hotel has a sauna, an outdoor hot tub and a spa offering a selection of soothing treatments.

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
