Our smallest, most jewel-like Uma lodge sits on a small hill at the western end of the Punakha Valley above the Mo Chhu river. It seems to breathe a different air, and is ideally located for Himalayan exploration, for village treks, temples, festivals, and whitewater rafting.
Our resort is a five-hour drive from our sister property, COMO Uma Paro, and the nearby international airport. It is a more remote experience deep into the Himalayas.
Every room commands sweeping views of the Punakha Valley and the Mo Chhu as it winds its way through the rice fields and orchards.
From butter lamp ceremonies and Bhutanese whisky tastings to visiting village artisans and cycling through Himalayan forests, experience the culture and landscapes of this mountain kingdom.
Join a traditional butter lamp ceremony at a Bhutanese temple. In Buddhist practice, lighting the lamps symbolises the dispelling of ignorance and the arrival of wisdom.
Sample tasting flights of Bhutanese whisky and signature cocktails found only at COMO Uma Paro, from distinctive blends to house creations.
Spend half a day in a Bhutanese village, learning about traditional weaving and thangka painting, and following the rhythms of rural life.
Ride through blue pine and rhododendron forests at Chele La Pass, with views across the Paro Valley and Himalayan mountain peaks.
Named after the traditional Bhutanese fireplace, Bukhari is the warm heart of our resort - a restaurant serving produce from Punakha Valley. The food is healthy, wholesome and full of flavour, from Bhutan and India, with some international favourites too.
