Gangtey Lodge is a beautiful Bhutanese farmhouse with sweeping views over the stunning Phobjikha (Gangtey) Valley and its endlessly rolling hills. Here you can retreat to warm, welcoming service, hot apple cider, and opulent accommodation after a day of exploring the natural, beautiful surroundings.

The main lodge holds an intimate and communal dining area serving fantastic Western and Bhutanese food, two large stone fireplaces to cosy up to and a spacious terrace for guests to admire the remarkable views over a drink or breakfast. Local artists and masons have contributed to the murals and carvings.

A range of complimentary activities are included, such as meditation, archery and mountain biking, and the property is a fantastic base to explore the surrounding area. One of the regions best day hikes ends just outside the hotel and can be nicely followed up by an in-room massage. You're just minutes from Gangtey Monastery to witness the morning or evening prayers. We can arrange a blessing for individuals if interested. Of course, the Phobjikha Valley is most well-known as a reserve for the Black Necked Cranes that migrate in the winter, as such the valley is protected and can not be built upon, not even electricity pylons are allowed, Gangtey Lodge is in one of the best positions to take in the sheer beauty of it all.

With just 12 luxury rooms, the lodge is intimate and tranquil. Room's have the views too, and you can even look over the valley below from the comfort of your roll-top bathtub! Rooms are spacious and fitted with custom furnishings, underfloor heating and a cosy fireplace in the corner. Modern amenities are successfully mixed with traditional Bhutanese touches to provide a relaxing, homely feeling.

For those seeking luxury, breathtaking views and warm service, this property is one of the best we've come across anywhere.

 

Luxury - Luxury hotels would have a superb level of service, very comfortable and usually spacious bedrooms, excellent food, great design and character. For us, when we visited, these places all had the 'wow factor'. A luxury hotel should satisfy the criteria of the most discerning clients.
