We arrange archery for guests on request. Archery in Bhutan is the national sport of the Kingdom. Archery was declared the national sport in 197, when Bhutan became a member of the United Nations.
hot stones bath
A visit to River Lodge would be incomplete without experiencing a hot stone bath, and hence this must feature on every visitor’s itinerary. A Bhutanese hot stone bath is the perfect way to relax and wind down after a long day of sightseeing. and is also believed to have numerous health benefits.
cultural events on request
At the guest’s request, we will also arrange traditional events mostly personal with birthdays, festival days, marriages, receptions, and anniversaries. Given their nature, they are meant to remember a particular day or event, and celebrate it for its worth, and are run by emotions.
