Amankora Bumthang Lodge: 16 Tranquil Suites in Bhutan’s Sacred Heartland

Amankora Bumthang Lodge is where ancient tradition and soulful tranquillity meet in the lush highlands of eastern Bhutan. With just 16 suites, this intimate property sits next to the historic Wandichholing Palace and offers a front-row view to the kingdom’s cultural and spiritual epicentre.

As part of Aman Hotels & Resorts—one of the world’s most revered luxury hospitality brands—Amankora Bumthang is designed for those seeking a meaningful journey through Bhutanese heritage, spiritual discovery, and grounded luxury. From daily rituals to immersive experiences, every moment here feels like a step deeper into Bhutan’s timeless soul.

A residence shaped by sacred landscapes and living heritage

Bumthang means “beautiful field,” and the lodge delivers on this promise. The property blends seamlessly into its historic surroundings, nestled within Jakar town and surrounded by temples, monasteries, and rich farmland. Each of the 16 open-plan suites is a serene sanctuary of timber, earth tones, and natural textures, featuring king-size beds, terrazzo-clad bathtubs, wood-burning stoves, and expansive views through traditional windows.

Quiet moments are a theme here—morning tea by the fire, evening rituals under the stars, and sunrise reflections overlooking Wandichholing’s majestic silhouette. It’s more than a stay—it’s a sacred pause in your journey.

A culinary journey inspired by Bhutan’s “food basket”

Bumthang Valley is famously fertile, producing some of the finest honey, cheese, and local crops in the country. At the lodge’s warm and characterful dining room, menus draw heavily from the land’s seasonal offerings—crafted with authenticity and served with heartfelt care.

Beyond traditional seating, guests can enjoy a range of bespoke culinary experiences:

• Firepit barbecue feasts in the courtyard
• Hands-on cooking classes led by local chefs
• Garden-to-table moments in the lodge’s kitchen garden
• Private indoor or outdoor dining for up to 32 guests

Every dish tells a story—of farmers, festivals, and a valley that continues to nourish Bhutan’s soul.

Mindful wellness rooted in local rhythm

After long walks to monasteries or treks through terraced landscapes, Amankora Bumthang’s spa welcomes guests into a haven of stillness. The wellness experience here focuses on recovery and rebalancing, from signature Zen Massages to guided mindfulness classes and gentle steam rituals.

It’s a place to reawaken body and spirit through daily wellness sessions, age-old healing traditions, and peaceful environments surrounded by Himalayan air and sacred energy.

Cultural paths carved by centuries of belief

What makes Bumthang truly special isn’t just its scenic beauty, but the way tradition still shapes everyday life. At Amankora Bumthang, guests can explore the spiritual depths of Bhutanese culture through curated experiences that honour centuries of belief and community.

Walk to the nearby Jambay Lhakhang—one of Bhutan’s oldest temples—for a 108-butter lamp offering ceremony, a moving ritual that lingers in memory. Join local monks in their morning prayers, explore cottage industries like cheese-making and beekeeping, or visit hidden monasteries nestled in the valley’s folds.

Every experience here deepens the connection between traveller and place, between heart and heritage.
