Experiences

Hot Stone Bath

Your visit to River Lodge will not be fulfilling without indulging in the rejuvenating experience of a hot stone bath. Therefore, this activity is a must-add to the itinerary of every visitor. The Bhutanese hot stone bath serves as an ideal method to unwind and destress, especially after a full day of sightseeing. Additionally, it is associated with various health benefits, making it a holistic and enriching part of the overall experience.

Culture Events (On request)

Upon the guest’s request, the hotel is more than willing to organize traditional events, primarily focused on personal occasions such as birthdays, festival days, weddings, receptions, and anniversaries. These events, by their very nature, are designed to commemorate specific days or significant occasions, emphasizing their importance and celebrating them with a strong emotional connection.

Khuru (Dart) and Archery (National Games)

The River Lodge Hotel extends a warm welcome to guests, inviting them to partake in the traditional Bhutanese sport of khuru and offering archery sessions upon request. In contrast to many Western countries where darts and archery are typically played in designated facilities or halls, Bhutan considers these activities as national outdoor sports.
