Exploring Bhutan

Where to Stay

We’re all about boutique hotels around here and in Bhutan, you’ll find plenty! We’ve scoured the main towns and valleys in search of our favourites and show you a selection of these below.

In some areas, the options are either a simple three-star property or a luxurious five-star haven. If location or budget requires a three-star stay, it’s important to know that standards differ across these hotels. You’ll find what you need in the way of a clean room, hot shower and heating but whether there’s a fan or air conditioning is not consistent and service varies widely. We’ll do our best to get you into those with better service and amenities although at times, choices may be limited. We’ve included two three-star properties below – Dewa Chen and Mountain Resort – to give you an idea of what’s on offer. If you’re doing any overnight trekking or are interested in a homestay, we’ll talk during the booking process about what to expect.

Looking for something specific or have questions? Get in touch with our experts at bhutan@fleewinter.com or by ringing 020 7112 0019 and we’ll be happy to chat through the options of where to stay in Bhutan.

Paro
Home to the country's only international airport and the well-known cliffside Paro Taktsang or Tiger's Nest monastery, your holiday will almost certainly start and end here.
Thimphu
This capital city is the largest in the nation and although it's becoming more modern, it maintains its historic character and charm. Home to many museums and other sights that provide insight into Bhutanese culture, Thimphu is worth at least two nights on your holiday.
Punakha
Generally considered the most beautiful fortress in a country full of stunning buildings, Punakha Dzong alone makes it worth visiting this small city in a subtropical valley. The drive over mountain passes is memorable and on a clear day, the views are spectacular.
Gangtey
If you're hoping to see black-necked cranes, the Gangtey region will be on your itinerary. Late October is typically the best month to see these rare birds coming through although you may see them all the way into February.
Bumthang
Many call this the cultural heart of the country, and if time allows for a visit to Bumthang, you'll be well rewarded. Bring good walking shoes as some of the best sights are seen on foot.

Your adventure starts here!
