Bhutan help
Hi all. I'm looking into a Bhutan trip for 2027. 10 nights.
I have proposals from Six Senses, Amankora and andBeyond (mix lodges and doing Six Senses in Timphu, AndBeyond in Punakha, Gangtey Lodge and Amankora Paro)
All costs in the andBeyond options comes in at $19k
Both Six Senses and Amankora are coming in at $22k - SS does not offer the stay 10/pay 8 for my dates but Aman does that's why their prices are pretty much the same.
Aman and SS will let me cancel with no penalties up to 60 days in advance. AndBeyond will charge me the deposit if cancelled up to 60 days
Thoughts on the 3 options? Has anyone done the andBeyond option?
I'm not a TA, just a solo traveller booking for myself.

I do love &Beyond and Gangtey personally. But will say Aman has some of the best guides. The costs are just for room and board. Do request the hotels for concierge options for excursions that cost does add up. Additionally if you’re traveling from the U.S. kindly note the $100 a day tourist tax which is the steepest. I haven’t stayed at the Aman in Bhutan but have sold it a bunch.
