This tiny Buddhist Kingdom in the foothills of the Himalayas is so far removed from modern life that visiting it feels like travelling in time. There are fortresses built into rocks, rushing rivers and red chillies drying on stone roofs. In the midst of all this lie five Six Senses Lodges, forming a circuit that allows you to criss-cross the country. Each lodge is unique, reflecting its location with a simplic- ity upon which the luxury of hot water bottles at turn down and wood fires by free-standing baths is overlaid. The wellness pillar of the Six Senses appears differently at each lodge, from hot stone baths to a chance to revisit past lives. But it’s the people, and their innate spirituality, that make a trip here so memorable.
