THE HOTEL
Amankora incorporates a series of lodges, all unique and sympathetically balanced with their environment. Together, the lodges create a circular pilgrimage through Bhutan's breathtakingly spectacular central and western valleys.

Amankora Punakha's lodge compound is accessed via a suspension bridge across the Mo Chhu and is built around a traditional Bhutanese farmhouse, where the dining room, lounge and library are located.  The accommodation is set in three rammed-earth buildings, where eight suites feature wood panelled interiors, a traditional bukhari, king-size bed, terrazzo-clad bath, shower and vanities, and day bed. Suites are individually heated during the cooler winter months and air-conditioned in the summer months.
