Located in the pristine and lush valley of Punakha, the Amankora Punakha Lodge offers a spectacular view of expansive paddy fields and orchards. The lodge is accessed by crossing the beautiful suspension bridge over the Mo Chhu River covered in prayer flags. Built around a traditional Bhutanese farmhouse with a colorful history, the original wall paintings are still preserved in the quaint three-Storey structure. Centered around a pretty courtyard with a Chinese cherry tree, eight of the suites have views across an orange orchard and rice terraces. The four Mo Chhu Suites are situated in the new building, and two feature separate living areas. The suites can be combined to offer two 2-bedroom units. Along with the tea pavilion, there is a spa with a yoga studio, two treatment rooms and a steam room. The lodge features an outdoor infinity pool with a perfect view of the rice fields.
