Bhutan | Nov 18 - Dec 8, 2023

really friendly and helpful staff

nice place

really nice place. We would have enjoyed an extra night here

nice place but worst breakfast of the trip (everything was cold including the instant coffee)

interesting experience, great breakfast. It would have been better if they could have conversed with us

Took a few tries to get a room with hot water, but otherwise was a reasonable place

Beautiful hotel and location, Great, helpful staff.

Decent place, really good breakfast

Beautiful hotel

Beautiful place, large unit. helpful staff, nice to have a bath in the unit

Room was not well sealed and was therefore cold, but staff was very accommodating and even put in an electric mattress heater which helped a lot! I believe that we actually stayed in a place nearby with a similar name

beautiful place

nice place but I don't agree that no wifi in our room is eco-friendly as they suggest

It was good to have a look around. Best done on foot

Dochu La pass was a good one to start with

Lawa La pass is a tough climb. It gets steeper near the top. Need to be careful going into the blind corners as sometimes oncoming vehicles are trying to pass... The road down into the valley is mostly paved.

We walked instead of cycling. Nice to see the cranes

Another nice ride

Another nice ride with an amazing descent into warm weather

Another well built and scenic dzong

The descent in the middle portion of the ride was surprisingly chilly, but otherwse it was yet another great cycle route. Nice to see monkeys along the route.

Amazing place. We were well acclimatized for the hike after our 3 weeks in Bhutan. We hiked up to the next temple as well which was worth it for the views and additional photos

It was good to ride a bit to see that the bikes were working fine

Punakha Dzong was one of the nicest ones to see

A nice ride with a lovely descent into a warm valley

Nice short hike to the museum and dzong which are both worth seeing.

The museum is interesting. We didn't have time to see the dzong. Would have enjoyed an extra day here.

A good ride, with warm weather the whole distance. It felt good to walk into the great hotel and enjoy the views

We did the hike up the ridge from Chele La, the panorama hike and the hike over the pass towards Paro during our few days in Ha Valley, The latter two were in mostly pine forests. We did see a sambar deer. The views from the ridge above Chele La were great - could see Jomohari quite clearly

Another nice ride
