Paro Lodge
Amankora, Bhutan
Hidden among winding mountain streams and thick forests of pine
trees, Paro Lodge offers an elegant, secluded sanctuary in the
hills above Balakha village. At an elevation of 2,250m, rooms use
wood panelling and clay-coloured walls to reflect the hotel’s
rustic setting. Suites come with cosy armchairs, wood-fired stoves,
terrazzo bathtubs and window seats with views across to
snow-covered Jhomolhari mountain. Spend days wandering through the
village and exploring the remains of 17th-century Drukgyel Dzong
(built to control the trade and military route to Tibet) or arrange
a hike to Tiger’s Nest, a monastery and sacred site dating back to
the eighth century. Reward your efforts with a trip to the
two-storey spa or huddle up by the firepit on the terrace. If
you’re looking to extend your Bhutan trip, book into one of
Amankora’s other lodges, spread across five pristine valleys
throughout the kingdom.
