Amankora Punakha Lodge,

BHUTAN

-

A 10-minute drive from the 17th-century Punakha Dzong, one of Bhutan’s most majestic fortresses, Amankora Punakha Lodge is a repurposed royal farmhouse.

Located in a subtropica­l valley that produces most of the nation’s vegetables, the property is accessed through a picturesqu­e suspension bridge over Mo Chhu River. The old part of the lodge with vegetable-dye paintings is an intimate living area, while the eight rooms are housed in three modern rammed-earth villas. The property, just like others from the brand, takes measures to protect local heritage, culture, and environmen­t by preserving indigenous traditions and craftsmans­hip.
