Sandy beaches, candle-lit dinners, couple spas — these have practically come to be the SOPs for every honeymooning couple. But who said sunsets over snow-capped mountains, lovely woodland strolls, and magnificent valley views couldn’t be just as honeymoon-y, if not more? You may have considered it an unlikely choice for a honeymoon, but we give you five experiences that’ll make you view Bhutan in a new (romantic) light.

1. Prance Amidst Colourful Rhododendrons and Poppy

Spring is a beautiful time to visit Bhutan. The valley is laden with flora such as clematis, primroses, lily, and a wide and vibrant variety of rhododendron and poppy. What can be more romantic than sitting hand-in-hand with your lover amidst a melody of colours, starting from scarlet to deep pink, pale pink, lavender, burnt orange, white and yellow? Dochu La and Chele La treat you to unparalleled natural beauty — little streams made from melted snow, herds of yaks grazing on green pastures, and large meadows that you wouldn’t want to ever leave.

2. Trek Together to Dochu La

You may wonder, what’s so romantic about a trek? Well, when the trek leads to a location affording 200 miles of stunning and panoramic view of the Himalayan range, including Gangker Phunsum, the world’s highest unclimbed mountain, then it’s romantic for sure! The snow-covered mountain peaks and the carpet of clouds below is breathtaking. A clear morning, post snowfall is the best time to visit — the view will be incredible with the 108 beautiful chortens covered in snow. unclimbed mountain, then it’s romantic for sure!

3. Soak in the Spiritual Vibe of Monasteries

It is a soothing and calming experience to watch the sun set behind the Himalayan range with rows of colourful prayer flags fluttering nearby. Together, enjoy a glass of warm Bhutanese cider in the cold weather, and go on an early morning cliffside climb to the gorgeous Taktsang Monastery or Tiger’s Nest monastery. A hike up to this sacred pilgrimage in the Himalayas will be an experience you will never forget. Prince William and Kate of Britain were spotted trekking hand-in-hand up to the monastery on their Bhutan visit last year. What better way to bask in the spiritual givings of this holy country?

4. Lose Yourself in the Wilderness

If you are nature junkies, Bhutan will not disappoint. Bird watchers often visit Phobjikha, a glacial valley near Jigme Singye Wangchuck National Park. While in Bhutan, you can also spot wild animals like the sambar deer, barking deer, Himalayan black bear, red foxes and leopards. For an uninterrupted expanse featuring rugged mountains, verdant forests, and pretty valleys, Lheunste must be on your itinerary.

5. Let the Peace and Happiness of Bhutan Rub Off on You!

On your honeymoon, you will want to spend quality time with your spouse, make precious memories, and enjoy each other’s company without any interruptions. Bhutan is just like that. The serenity of this hill station is therapeutic, something no city can match up to. Revel in the happiness quotient of this lovely country as you bond over the comforting Bhutanese cuisine. There’s a cheesy treat awaiting you at every restaurant — ema datshi, shamu datshi, shakam ema datshi and so on.
