Overview

Amankora Thimphu sits within a forest above Thimphu, Bhutan's capital, with 16 suites and access to the city's shops, temples and government quarter below. The lodge belongs to a network of five Amankora properties spread across the kingdom's central and western valleys, each built as a single low lodge rather than a large hotel.

Guests can combine a stay here with visits to the other four lodges through Amankora's longer journeys. The Ultimate Amankora Journey runs for 14 nights and takes in all five lodges, while Quest for Happiness spans seven to sixteen nights and also visits all five, with time built in for connection with local communities. Shorter itineraries, such as the five- or six-night Cultural Sojourn through the western valleys, or the three- or four-night Tiger's Odyssey culminating in a hike to Tiger's Nest, cover fewer lodges.

Amankora's team, with roots in Bhutan spanning over two decades, handles the practical side of a trip: pre-booking activities and spa treatments, and processing the international visas required to enter the country. Bhutan itself changes with the seasons, from flora and fauna in spring and summer to golden autumn light and clear winter skies, and travellers connecting through Bangkok can break their journey at Aman Nai Lert Bangkok before flying onward.
