Amankora Punakha

Highlights

• You want at least three nights here as there is a lot to explore, cycling up the Pho Chhu River to a six-hour hike to Lake Hokatsho. Or for a more leisurely pace spend time with a local family and learn how to wear traditional clothing.

• Although all rooms have features like a traditional wood-burning stove and large window seats we suggest one of the Mo Chhu Suites which have a large living area to rest and reflect in.

• You will eat well here as Punakha as this is where all of the fruit and vegetables are grown due the sub-tropical valley. The chef can even show you a thing or two on a tour to the local market and a cooking class back at the lodge.

• Take time at the property to wind down. There is plenty of opportunity to do so in the two-storey spa which also includes a meditation room to help find that inner zen.
