Places to stay in Bhutan



Thimphu (Taj Taashi)-

Inspired by Bhutanese, the dzong, The Taj-Tashi offers a stunning view of the Thimphu valley. The hotel is decked with vivid hand-painted Buddhist mandalas and paintings.

Needless to say, views are breathtaking.

Hot stone bath and spa or Bhutanese meal at Chig-Ja-Gye are not to be missed.

Thimphu (Druk) - 

Each floor of the hotel is decorated in different themes inspired by elements of nature (water-earth-fire-air). The hotel offers stunning views of Wanchu river and the city beyond. The marble bathrooms with walnut furnishings take this hotel a notch above.

Paro (Tigers Nest Resort) - 

For a more traditional Bhutanese experience, stay at the tiger's nest which overlook the Taktsang monastery. The individual cottages have enclosed verandas with beautiful wooden panels of local artwork.

The hotel's restaurant uses produce from the surrounding palm land for vegetarian Bhutanese cuisine.

A mere 15-minute ride from Paro international airport, this is for the travellers who want to experience Bhutan's beauty without the sometimes nauseating road pin bends.

Punakha (Wandue  Eco lodge) - 

This one is definitely for the environmentally conscious, built around the concept of green architecture. This lodge has solar heating, biogas, waste recycling plants, grows its own organic produce and harvests rainwater.

Each spacious eco suite has wrap around verandas with views of the gardens and snow-capped Gang Chen tag mountain.

A short walk from the suite, an ancestor home is being refurbished to serve as a lounge and bar area.

Punakha (Meri Puensum Resort)-

The family-run resort is perched at the hilltop and is surrounded by the citrus orchids. The rooms are done up with Bhutanese painting and furnishing, giving a comfy homely touch.
