Amankora Resorts & Lodges... five star plus luxury packages


 

Combining 'aman', the Sanskrit word for 'peace' and 'kora' meaning 'circular pilgrimage' in Dzongkha, the Bhutanese language, Amankora is a series of luxury lodges in Bhutan's central and western valleys.

Designed in traditional Bhutanese Dzong style, Amankora lodges offer the discerning traveller to Bhutan a truly premium quality experience.

Phobjikha . Aman Resorts is the only international hotel group in Bhutan to offer its own accommodation and services throughout these valleys. For Guests staying seven nights or more, a tailor-made itinerary based on preferred length of stay will include complimentary long road permits, private transport with driver and guide and one spa treatment.
