Bhutan is one of the world’s last frontiers. The Kingdom has maintained its traditional Mahayana Buddhist way of life for centuries and the rugged, unspoiled, mountainous terrain has nurtured numerous ethnic groups within its remote, protective folds. These distinct cultural and linguistic traditions continue to this day, uninfluenced by the outside world. Adhering to ancient cultural, religious and social traditions, Bhutan annually offers a limited number of travellers wonderful insights into life in the Himalayas.

Descending from 7,500 metre high Alps in the north to the low–lying plains of the south, Bhutan’s rivers have forged deep valleys separated by high mountain passes. To facilitate one’s circular journey of discovery, Amankora offers a number of guided treks and excursions by car or on foot throughout Bhutan’s principal central and western valleys of Paro, Thimphu, Punakha, Bumthang and Phobjikha. Each valley and elegant lodge has its own character, setting and experience.
