Punakha River Lodge

The safari-style tented suites are suspended from a traditional Bhutanese timber structure, cleverly positioned to ensure the utmost privacy while boasting an ensuite, an indoor and outdoor shower, a star bath, and a private veranda. For couples, the two-storey River House is set along a peaceful stream and has a spacious lounge and dining area downstairs with a lavish bedroom and open ensuite bathroom upstairs. If that’s not enough, a private plunge pool and outdoor veranda complete the space.

For families, look no further than the Family Suite with its two interconnected ensuite rooms. There’s a spacious lounge area, personalised bar, outdoor veranda and private swimming pool. Balancing the need for seclusion but also close proximity to the lodge’s facilities, it’s ideally positioned with a view of the Khamsum Yuelley Namgyal Chorten amidst paddy fields.

For some well-deserved pampering, look no further than the tranquil spa positioned in the orange orchid with views of snow-capped peaks. Opt for a signature Bhutanese treatment using 100% natural products, a balancing yoga session, or a not-to-be-missed, hot stone bath. On warm days, take to the swimming pool which boasts river and mountain views.
