The hotel offers lavish accommodations, a range of dining experiences, a spa, the city's highest infinity pool, and state-of-the-art fitness facilities

It redefines the idea of a luxury hotel in the Himalayas for the modern age. Mother Nature rules here and every effort has been made to enable the guests to slow down and feel a sense of connection to their surroundings.

Short treks, when planned the right way, can be quite rewarding especially during the perfect trekking seasons.  During peak spring season, one can observe wild flowers, which carpet the meadows, where clear streams run down from forested slopes.

During the fall, the skies are clearer and one can walk on high hills against a backdrop of the stunning Himalayan peaks, most of which are tall 8000 metre peaks in the Himalayas.

A dormant part of you awakens when you are in Bhutan. This is what travelers often claim to be an epiphany. A stream of consciousness that tells you that this is where you have always wanted to be. There is a need to explore more, sometimes it may be culture, history, sights and sounds but we are often in search of a spiritual experience too.

What’s your fantasy about the Himalayas? Is it to climb towering mountains? Is it to find and enjoy that inner hippy in Kathmandu? Perhaps it would be to hike on centuries old paths, embracing the glorious mountains, or lastly it is finding your inner spiritual self. Maybe, it’s discovering the last frontiers in the Himalayas!

This is the world that Kevin Grange wrote about in Beneath Blossom Rain: Discovering Bhutan on the toughest trek in the world. His acclaimed book is a reminder that a world exists that reminds us to “Live it all”. The Snowman trek is a reminder of why we seek nature out. This trek is difficult but it’s about losing yourself in the wilderness and finding ultimate bliss as nature draws you in and lets you out each minute. As you cross many high mountain passes, you look out to an entire mountain range that seem scattered, floating above the clouds like islands of snow. When you reach isolated hills, you can see the meadows below in a dreamlike series of flashes as the sun rays play across it.

When you cross Nyile La, the mountain pass of the Gods, you can see everything on earth dwarfed and the mountains standing on your shoulders and the only feeling you can muster up is humility! When you reach Shomuthang, you can see pastures uninhabited, unveiling each beautiful scenery piece by piece, allowing you time to process your overwhelming sensations. When you reach Laya village, you will have seen a world that is only about nature, where no one exists except beauty in its most pristine form. This trek is long and may not be for everyone. But it is a trail that awaits people who search for the elusive world of peace and isolation. For it is a world without ego, where everything else fades, where mirrors do not exist and where you can drown yourself and find resurrection. “Live it all” is what the Snowman Trek is all about. e.
