Amankora Paro marked a unique entry into a secluded kingdom whose pristine Himalayan landscapes and remarkably preserved way of life have fascinated travellers the world over. Sited in Balakha Village, 20 minutes from Paro Airport, the resort is in the shadows of the imposing remains of the 17th century Drugyel Dzong. The suites are designed and built in Bhutanese style with natural rammed-earth walls, gently sloping roofs and wood-panelled interiors. The king-size bed, traditional bukhari wood-burning stove and large terrazzo-clad bath make it contemporary yet cosy . The views take in Drukgyel Dzong and stretch to the 7,300 metre snow-capped peak of Jhomolhari and beyond. The Amankora provides the ultimate in understated luxury. **** SPECIAL OFFER For guests staying seven nights or more, a tailor-made itinerary based on preferred length of stay will include the following complimentary: long road permits, private transport with driver and guide, plus one 60-minute massage at the Amankora spa per Amankora Journey, all offers are subject to availability****
