Hotel information
Accessed by crossing a suspension bridge over the Mo Chhu, the lodge is centred by a traditional Bhutanese farmhouse.
This quaint, three-storey structure with its preserved vegetable dye wall paintings is now a reception area with a dining room, traditional Altar Room, a courtyard for al fresco dining and a tea pavilion, with the spa, steam room and yoga and meditation room just beyond.
Eight suites are situated in an orange orchard with views across the rice fields and up the Punakha Valley.
