Amankora
Paro, Thimphu, Punakha, Gangtey & Bumthang - Bhutan
★★★★★+
HomeCombining the Sanskrit word for‘peace’with kora or‘circular pilgrimage’in Dzongkha, the Bhutanese language, Amankora is a series of lodges across the central and western valleys of Bhutan.
The sole surviving Himalayan Buddhist Kingdom, Bhutan is located between the Tibetan Plateau and India, making it one of the most remote and pristine environments on earth. Descending from 7,000-metre high peaks in the north to the low-lying plains of the south, Bhutan's rivers have forged deep valleys separated by high mountain passes. Historically isolated, each valley’s scenic beauty and topography affords visitors an opportunity for unique journeys of discovery between them.
To best experience all that Bhutan has to offer, Amankora can tailor journeys that include a combination of its lodges located in the valleys of Paro, Thimphu, Punakha, Gangtey and Bumthang.
