The Amankora Resort is a series of holiday cottages scattered across the main river valleys in central and western Bhutan. Here, visitors can explore Bhutan's pristine Himalayan landscape and experience ancient cultural, social and spiritual traditions that have spanned centuries.
The word Amankora is made up of aman and kora. The former means "peace" in Sanskrit, while the latter means "cyclic pilgrimage" in Bhutanese. Amankora Resort's villas form a unique loop in a quiet kingdom
As majestic as it is notoriously mysterious, Bhutan is only slowly opening up to foreign visitors, and remains enticingly devoid of the trappings of tourism. Spread across the country, Amankora’s five lodges Paro, Thimphu, Gangtey, Punakha and Bumthang offer unprecedented access to the world’s last surviving Buddhist kingdom. Combining the Sanskrit word for peace with the Bhutanese for circular journey, Amankora allows guests to create a tailormade tour of their own, visiting all or a selection of the lodges, with a driver provided for the duration of their stay.
Bhutan is a global pioneer, the first nation of the world to systematically measure its success not by the strength of its economy but by the happiness of its people.
