Como Uma Paro Bhutan - Experience Travel Group

Set in the lush, dramatic landscape of the Paro Valley, Como Uma Paro is a deluxe property and a top choice for this valley.

With just 29 accommodation options across a main lodge and nine private villas, the resort offers an extraordinary Himalayan retreat within a ten-minute drive from the international airport. Airy interiors feature hand‑painted artisan motifs, while gardens bloom with rhododendrons and camellias.

After a walk through secret pine groves, return to lounge beside the indoor pool and spa, sip cocktails by Bukhari’s signature fireplace or indulge in organic Bhutanese and Indian dishes made with produce from the resort’s garden. Butler service is available in villas—every stay feels distinctly personal and celebratory of Bhutanese spirit.

The Rooms

There are a variety of rooms, suites and villas, with 29 in total spread out through the forested area. Handpainted designs cover the bedroom walls, while rooms have either forest or valley views. The opulent suites have a dining room, sitting and study areas as well as a kitchenette. The exceptionally luxurious villas are separate to the main buildings, providing more privacy and a 24-hour butler service. One or two bedroom villas are available, complete with large bathrooms, fireplace, and dining and lounge areas with floor to ceiling windows leading out to a balcony surrounded by forest.

For a peaceful, luxurious and memorable stay in Paro we recommend this property and the villas for families. The top floor Valley Rooms are also highly recommended.

In Our Travellers’ Words

Experience in Nepal

Our itinerary was stimulating and varied. It coincided with the festival of Tihaa or Diwali and therefore allowed us to experience a special family time of year. Our guide, Anup, was charming and knowledgeable. He invited us to join his family for their special Diwali celebrations ,which was such a memorable experience and also a privilege. Trekking in the Annapurna foothills was a significant part of our two week visit. The chance to trek from Lodge to Lodge, and to see the village way of life was fascinating. We would thoroughly recommend ETG for their attention to detail in creating a perfect holiday.

ETG look outside the box

They always come up with things that no one else seems to, that's why they are so good. They are original and trying their best to show you the real country and people and not the facade. Great listeners, always a smile and a good banter... exceptional service and insight.
