Bask in the splendor of the Phobjikha Valley when you book one of 12 suites at the luxury Gangtey Lodge. Taking cues from its rural surroundings, the resort’s Farm House Suites are designed in an authentically rustic style: wooden accents, warm colors, and classic Bhutanese motifs predominate. Each room also features a fireplace, underfloor heating, a large living space, and a roomy bath. Complimentary laundry service, wireless internet access, and two meals are also included with each stay. The hotel restaurant serves both Asian and Western cuisine, with particularly good vegetarian options.

The terrace at Gangtey Lodge offers fine panoramas of the Phobjikha Valley, and you might be entirely content to spend an evening admiring the view with a drink in hand. But if you want to get out and explore the countryside, the lodge can arrange for guided hikes, mountain biking expeditions, and archery or darts lessons. If you want to get in touch with the spiritual side of the Phobjikha Valley, allow Gangtey Lodge to set up a private meditation class for you. You’ll also want to visit the nearby Gangtey Gompa to witness the evening prayers. Most visitors to the valley stay at least two or three nights; be sure to conclude at least one of them with a therapeutic massage or hot stone bath at the hotel spa.
