Bhutan Thimphu Hotels

Sited in a pine forest in the upper reaches of the Motithang area of the Thimphu Valley, Amankora Thimphu opened December 2005 is a quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of the Kingdoms booming capital. Dzong-like architecture incorporates high stone, white-washed buildings accessed through an enclosed arrival court. Thimphu, Bhutans capital city, is a two-hour drive from Amankora Paro or one and a half hours directly from Paros international airport. At an altitude of 2,350m, Thimphu lies in a steep valley surrounded by richly forested mountains dotted with ancient monasteries and lhakhangs temples.
