Long before Amala existed, Bhutan was already shaping the relationships and journeys that would eventually form its foundation.
This photograph, taken years ago during a trek captures our founder Mrs Tseng alongside our Bhutanese co-founder Dorji. What began as a shared love for Bhutan, its people, landscapes, and deeply rooted sense of community, slowly grew into years of returning, travelling, and creating journeys together.
Many of the experiences that define Amala today were born from those early moments spent walking through villages, sharing meals with local families, and building genuine friendships across the country.
More than 15 years later, Bhutan remains at the heart of Amala.

Through France: One Table at a Time.
At Benoît, time seems to slow beneath mirrored walls, red banquettes, and the soft glow of Belle Époque Paris.
Opened in 1912 near the former Les Halles market once known as “the belly of Paris”, Benoît became beloved for its generous bistro cooking and warm atmosphere, welcoming everyone from market workers and artists to locals gathering late into the evening. More than a century later, it remains one of the last historic Parisian bistros still preserving that spirit today.
There is a certain kind of romance in places like this. Not only in the dining room itself, but in the feeling that some rituals still endure. Cassoulet prepared with patience. Tables lingering over wine. Recipes passed down rather than reinvented.
In a city constantly evolving, Benoît remains deeply rooted in the Paris that so many still come searching for.
Experience Paris through the places that continue to shape its cultural memory with Amala Destinations.

Normandy untolds like an impressionist painting in motion. From wandering through Claude Monet’s house and gardens in Giverny, to tracing the dramatic cliffs of Étretat that he returned to again and again with his canvas, this is a journey shaped by light, landscape, and the quiet beauty that inspired some of France’s greatest artists.
Along the way, linger in seaside towns like Honfleur, where Monet once stayed for over a year, endlessly captivated by the changing skies and harbour scenes that would later appear in his works.
