Hot Stone Bath

The way to loosen tired legs after Tiger's Nest, a private wooden bath in Paro, heated by red hot stones and scented with wild Artemisia.

Discover the healing through traditional hot stone bath. After the climb to Taktsang, the legs remember it for days, and this is where you let them forget. The wooden tub fills with river water, then river stones roasted over open fire until they glow are lowered in one at a time, each one hissing as it drops. Fresh Artemisia leaves and other herbal medicinal plants go in with them, to sooth your senses and muscles. The hot stone bath is used throughout Bhutan by elderly, new mothers and people with aches in their body to heal their body and senses.
