Wellness Bhutan
Founded with the intention of spreading happiness and peace of mind, Wellness Bhutan is a new and innovative travel agency offering unique experiences with personal growth, wellness, and healing as the overall focus. Unlike traditional travel agencies or wellness retreats, at Wellness Bhutan, we offer a combination of experiences which work together harmonically to optimize the benefits of a once in a lifetime visit to Bhutan.
Our journeys have been designed with the help and expertise of Khenpo Phuntsok Tashi, a venerated monk who has written several profound books and has traveled extensively around the world speaking, spreading knowledge, and helping to heal people’s minds through mindfulness training.
Using a holistic approach focusing on mental and physical wellness, we have designed special distinctive journeys which satisfy the inner craving for adventure while providing deep spiritual fulfillment and imparting tools and knowledge to find mental clarity and peace when faced with the difficulties and stresses of life.
