This isn’t just another holiday. It’s an invitation for the Leisure Explorer to step off the map and into a living Himalayan legend. Five valleys. Five lodges. Infinite moments. From mist-cloaked pine forests to cliffside monasteries, Amankora is Bhutan as it was meant to be experienced—raw, untamed, and entirely yours to explore.
At 2,250 metres above sea level, Paro Valley sets the tone — secluded, majestic, and unmistakably Bhutanese. Hidden among pine trees, Amankora Paro’s 24 suites invite deep immersion: raw timber walls, whitewashed stone, sloped Bhutanese roofs, and interiors aglow with wood-burning stoves and sunlit window banquettes. Step outside, and the landscape is just as cinematic — with the 17th-century Drukgyel Dzong and the snow-laced peak of Mount Jhomolhari in view.
Begin with panoramic views of Mount Jhomolhari at Amankora Paro. This is your gateway to hike to the legendary Tiger’s Nest, unwind with a Himalayan hot stone bath, print your own prayer flags with a local monk, or end the day with a Forest & Fortress dinner under the stars, lantern-lit and entirely unforgettable.
Cruise through Bhutan’s capital in the Third King’s antique Royal Body Car. Explore the Tashichho Dzong, stroll the arts-and-crafts-lined streets, and cook alongside Aum Kesang in a local home. Then, sit down with Mynak Trulku, Bhutan’s most revered cultural scholar and reincarnate lama, for an exclusive Buddhism talk that will stay with you long after you leave.
Descend from the Dochula Pass into the subtropical splendor of Punakha. Visit the majestic Punakha Dzong, wander across hanging bridges and rice paddies, and enjoy a chef-curated picnic beside the Mo Chhu River. Feeling adventurous? Paddle Bhutan’s gentle rapids. Then retreat to the lodge and sink into the valley’s only outdoor heated pool.
High above the Phobjikha Valley, wake to the call of the black-necked cranes and wander the Gangtey Nature Trail. Light a butter lamp at Gangtey Goemba, then follow a forested path to a candlelit stone hut, where your Traditional Hot Stone Bath awaits—bamboo doors open to valley views, hot apple cider in hand, sunset or stars overhead.
For those who want more: Trace Bhutan’s spiritual lifeblood through sacred temples, artisan villages, and untouched forests. After a morning of exploration, pause for a private Riverside Picnic with Kurjey Temple and Zangthopelri in view. Flowing rivers. Sacred air. Flavors rooted in the land.
Until 31 March 2026, amplify your Bhutan story by pairing it with another iconic Aman destination: Aman Nai Lert Bangkok, Amanpuri Phuket, Amansara Siem Reap, Amantaka Luang Prabang, or Amanoi Vietnam. Two worlds. One seamless adventure. Enjoy exclusive perks like airport transfers, USD 100 resort credit, and room upgrades (subject to availability).
Begin your journey with a private meditation session at Buddha Point, where a revered lama offers personal blessings and spiritual grounding as the valley stretches beneath you.

This isn’t ticking a destination off a list. This is rewriting the definition of adventure. Let Bhutan change you and let Amankora show you how.
