Amankora Punakha - Punakha

Location: Punakha Hotel Rating: 5 Star

Unrivalled knowledge with 16 years in Bhutan - the original and most comprehensive journey across the Kingdom

Five lodges strategically located across remote yet idyllic valleys

Spacious lodges with interiors designed by acclaimed architect Kerry Hill

Reached by crossing a suspension bridge over the Mo Chhu River covered in prayer flags, Punakha Lodge incorporates a traditional Bhutanese farmhouse built by a former Je Khenpo (chief abbot of Bhutan). 

Located in a subtropical valley that produces most of the nation’s vegetables, the area is where the Bhutanese royals spend their winters. Eight of the suites are identical in design to those of Amankora Paro, with views across an orange orchard and rice terraces. 

The four Mo Chhu Suites are situated in a new building, and two feature separate 40m2 living areas. The suites can be combined to offer two 2-bedroom units. 

All accommodations offer king-size beds, traditional wood-burning stones and banquette window-seats, while bathrooms feature terrazzo-clad bathtubs, twin vanities and a separate shower and toilet.
