Situated high in the Eastern Himalayas, Amankora presents a unique resort concept designed as a circuit of five peaceful lodges scattered across the breathtaking kingdom of Bhutan. Combining the Sanskrit word for “peace” with the Dzongkha word for “circular pilgrimage,” the property invites travelers to explore the dramatic landscapes, historic fortresses, and living cultural traditions of this legendary mountain realm in unparalleled comfort.
Each of the five lodges—located in Paro, Thimphu, Punakha, Phobjikha, and Bumthang—boasts its own distinct personality while maintaining a shared aesthetic of rustic minimalism. Interiors are crafted using natural rammed-earth walls, warm wood paneling, and traditional wood-burning stoves known as bukharis. Floor-to-ceiling windows framed by towering pine forests and snow-capped peaks bring the rugged beauty of Bhutan directly into every suit, creating a serene, sanctuary-like environment for quiet reflection.
Guests can embark on tailor-made journeys that go far beyond standard sightseeing. Days are spent hiking through pristine mountain valleys, ascending steep cliffs to visit iconic monasteries like Tiger’s Nest, and attending private blessings with local Buddhist monks. After a day of exploration, guests can retreat to the lodges to savor nourish organic meals prepared with farm-fresh local produce, or indulge in traditional hot-stone baths infused with aromatic mountain herbs.
With its deep respect for local culture and commitment to sustainable travel, Amankora provides an extraordinary gateway into a land where happiness is prized above all else.
Embark on an unforgettable spiritual and luxury journey through Bhutan’s breathtaking mountain sanctuaries.
