Intimate and jewel-like, COMO Uma Punakha perches on a gentle hill above the Mo Chhu River at the western end of Punakha Valley.
With just ten valley-view rooms and villas set amidst rhododendrons and orchards, it offers seclusion and refined Bhutanese charm. Guests are welcomed by views that stretch across rice paddies and sacred hills—an elegant retreat in one of the most spiritual corners of Bhutan
The Rooms
Nine hillside rooms with valley views and two freestanding private villas make up the property. Each room has sweeping views down the Mo Chhu River and valley. Rooms are light and airy, with whitewashed walls covered in handpainted designs and wooden beam roofs. Valley View rooms include floor to ceiling windows, while some have terraces as well. The standalone villas are fitted with french windows and a spacious stone terrace with a fire and dining table. For families or groups, the villas are ideal, with two adjoining rooms and a central living space.
The Valley View rooms are quite small, so we recommend upgrading to a private villa. For an intimate and indulgent stay in Punakha, look no further than Como.

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.
Experience Travel Group live up to their name
A holiday away from "normal" life that comes with many experiences. A three week combined rest and adventure discovering different areas of Laos... Never far away from the fascinating Mekong River, we felt privileged to spend time with the beautiful people of Laos, (even if they did eat everything!).
