Discover a land of mythology and magic at Taj Tashi, nestled in the folds of the magnificent Thimphu Valley. An enchanting fusion of Bhutan’s Dzong architecture and modern design, this spectacular hotel will leave you captivated.

Five years in the making, Zhiwa Ling is a tribute to the ornate architectural arts of Bhutan. Every part of the hotel is handmade, from the massive hand-carved wooden beams to the seemingly endless designs of the colorful, hand-painted ceilings and walls. Zhiwa Ling provides the most authentic top-tier hospitality and accommodation experience in Bhutan and is Bhutan’s first locally owned, faithfully traditional hotel with 21st century conveniences. As a result, guests can experience an authentic Buddhist ceremony beside the 450-year-old timbers of our in-hotel temple while remaining comfortably warm thanks to an advanced Swedish in-floor heating system. Likewise, guests can order room service for favorite local dishes such as “ema datsi” which is traditional chillies and cheese while checking their email or surfing the Internet, wirelessly, inside the privacy and comfort of their rooms. Zhiwa Ling is a unique cultural hybrid–an exuberant celebration of the best of a 1,000-year-old culture combined with modern day innovations.

COMO Uma Paro is located in the heart of Bhutan. Hotel guests enjoy sweeping views of the pristine Himalayas from the 38-acre estate, comprising 20 rooms and nine villas with a design that is a subtle fusion of indigenous style, and a fresh, clean-lined modernism.

Hiking, mountain biking, archery, festivals, and overnight camping trips are all available, as well as two-centre trips with sister hotel lodge, COMO Uma Punakha. Guests can later restore and indulge in vital holistic therapies at COMO Shambhala Retreat, and dine in style at the Bukhari restaurant, where local Bhutanese produce is blended with Indian cuisine.

An array of Bhutanese, Western and Indian dishes are served across all five Amankora Lodges, using local ingredients such as yak meat and fresh honey from the Bumthang Valley. Private dining can be arranged both inside and outside the Lodges, whether for an intimate dinner or group celebration
