Where to stay
We have not published individual hotels for Bhutan yet. This is how stays differ there, by the kind of trip.
Paro, Thimphu, Punakha — 5 nightsThe Classic WestTaktsang, the capital, and the Punakha dzong at the fork of two rivers. This is the complete Bhutan first visit and it does not need extending. — Two passes, three valleys · Taktsang is a half-day walk · Works in any season but monsoon
Taktsang and PhobjikhaWalkingThe Tiger’s Nest climb is the one everybody comes for — a steady ascent of several hours, no technical skill needed. The Gangtey nature trail through Phobjikha is gentle and beautiful. — Taktsang: start early, allow a full morning · Horses available for part of the ascent · Phobjikha suits all fitness levels
Paro or Thimphu tshechuFestivalsThe tshechus are masked religious dances held in dzong courtyards, and they are observance rather than performance. Dates move with the lunar calendar and accommodation is scarce around them. — Paro tshechu in spring · Thimphu and Punakha in autumn · Book many months ahead
Paro and PunakhaHoneymoonBhutan works unusually well for honeymooners: small luxury lodges in quiet valleys, no crowds and short days of walking between long ones of doing very little. — Riverside lodges at Punakha · Hot-stone baths are the local ritual · Spring and autumn are the windows
Phobjikha, late Oct onwardsNatureBlack-necked cranes migrate into the Phobjikha valley from late October and stay through the winter. The valley is a glacial bowl with a conservation centre and gentle walking. — Cranes from late October · Crane festival in November · Cold — pack accordingly
We book hotels for Bhutan to order, around your dates, transfer and budget.
How we choose
What Makes a Hotel Unforgettable
We do not chase star ratings. A great hotel is judged on the things that linger — a genuine welcome, a true sense of place, food worth staying in for, and service that anticipates rather than reacts.
Good to Know
Frequently asked
We choose hotels for location, service and character, and for how well they fit the journey around them.
Sometimes. Where a hotel extends benefits to travel advisers — an upgrade, breakfast, a resort credit, early check-in — we pass them on, and we tell you exactly what applies when we quote your stay.
We design complete journeys, but can also arrange standalone stays for existing travellers.
Whatever the journey calls for — city hotels, resorts, villas, safari camps — matched to how you travel. Only a few are written up on this site.
