Awakening to Radiance: Why Your Soul is Calling You to Bhutan in 2026
There are places you visit, and then there are places that change you.
The Kingdom of Bhutan is the latter. Known as the "Last Shangri-La," this high-Himalayan sanctuary is the only country in the world that measures its success by Gross National Happiness. It is a land where prayer flags flutter against jagged peaks, where ancient monasteries cling to cliffside edges, and where the air feels lighter, purer, and charged with thousands of years of wisdom.
This October 4th – 11th, 2026, Drishti Journeys invites you to step across the threshold of the ordinary and into the extraordinary for the Bhutan: Awakening to Radiance Yoga Retreat.
The Path to Inner Clarity and Vitality
In a world that constantly demands more of your "doing," Bhutan invites you back into "being." Our 8-day journey is meticulously curated to align your internal energy with the serene, powerful vibration of the Himalayas.
Led by the incredible Anna Caldwell, your daily practice will be much more than just physical movement. Anna weaves together a rich tapestry of styles designed to reset your nervous system and awaken your radiant body:
Kundalini-inspired kriyas, movement, and meditation focusing on pranic energy, the radiant body, and internal vitality
Yin yoga with emphasis on meditation, neuroplasticity, and the nervous system
All-levels Vinyasa flow designed to be accessible, mindful, and grounding
Restorative yoga for deep relaxation and integration
Daily breathwork and guided meditation woven throughout sessions
Beyond the Mat: A Journey Through the Kingdom of Happiness
We don't just stay in one place. We move through three distinct, breathtaking locations, ensuring a deep immersion into the Vajrayana Buddhist culture that defines this nation.
The Iconic Tiger’s Nest
No journey to Bhutan is complete without the pilgrimage to Taktsang Monastery (Tiger’s Nest). We will hike to this sacred site, perched 3,000 feet above the Paro Valley, feeling the shift in energy as we approach one of the most spiritual locations on Earth.
Sacred Rituals & Cultural Immersion
Punakha Dzong: Explore the "Palace of Great Happiness," widely considered the most beautiful fortress in the country.
The Temple of Fertility: Visit the legendary Chimi Lhakhang and learn the unique folklore of the Divine Madman.
Authentic Living: From traditional hot stone baths to home-cooked meals at a local farmstead, you will experience the genuine warmth of the Bhutanese people.
Why Now? Why Bhutan?
Bhutan limits the number of tourists allowed into the country to preserve its pristine nature and sacred culture. It is one of the most exclusive and protected destinations on the planet. By joining Drishti Journeys, you aren’t just a tourist; you are a guest in a kingdom that values peace, harmony, and rebirth.
This retreat is designed for the seeker who is ready to let go of the noise of modern life and tune into the frequency of their own radiance.
"This yoga retreat offers you a broad way to peace, harmony, and self-discovery by applying the secret of the Bhutanese way of living."
