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.

The destinations were fabulous, but what really stood out was the care and patience Tania showed as she guided me and my sister through every question and hesitation. Nothing felt rushed or too much trouble. The result? A truly wonderful holiday. Thank you.
