COMO Uma Paro is our flagship Uma lodge in Bhutan — an intimate, adventure-focused resort that sits atop a gently sloping blue pine tree-clad hill, overlooking the town of Paro. It is ideally positioned to explore the wider region accompanied by our expert English-speaking guides.
Bhutan's international airport is a 10-minute drive from COMO Uma Paro. Druk Air connects Bhutan with Bangkok, Kolkata, Delhi, Kathmandu and Singapore, with additional routes provided by Bhutan Airlines between Bhutan, Kolkata and Bangkok.
Transport between Uma lodges is made by car and is arranged for guests by Uma staff. It is not possible to hire cars for private use in Bhutan. Our sister Bhutanese resort, COMO Uma Punakha, is a five-hour drive north from COMO Uma Paro.
COMO Uma Paro: The Awakening
Travelling to Bhutan can be seamless – we offer comprehensive assistance with all travel services, including the daily fee required of all travellers to Bhutan. We help with processing visa applications at least two weeks prior to arrival (US$40 per person) and booking flights via Druk Air and Bhutan Airlines. We also arrange all ground transportation and provide an English-speaking guide.
Bhutan has a surprising range of climates. The very far north-western, mountainous region has a polar climate, whereas the southern plains and foothills are subtropical. The spring season (late March to May) and autumn season (late September to November) are the most popular times to visit with generally clear views of the Himalayas, lower rainfall and a range of festivals to attend.
Built of handcrafted stone, wood and tiles, our lodge feels at once Bhutanese and luxurious with wood furniture vividly painted with flowers by local artists. Indian cotton bedcovers have hand-stitched patterns paying homage to Bhutan’s Buddhist culture and colours, and hand-knotted rugs come from nearby Nepal.
