The popular Dewachen Hotel and Spa in the Phobjikha Valley is handsomely designed with wood and stone, resembling an upscale version of a classic Bhutanese homestead. Inside, you’ll find 28 modern deluxe rooms appointed with every luxury convenience: wireless internet access, telephone service, tea and coffee, and room service. The hotel also provides cable television, but don’t be surprised if you spend more time on your room’s balcony, taking in the sweeping views of the valley. When you want to get out and about, the resort can arrange for cultural experiences, horseback riding expeditions, day hikes in the surrounding hills, and more.

The central location of the Dewachen Hotel and Spa makes it an ideal base for exploring the many attractions of the Phobjikha Valley. The resort is just seven kilometers from the colorful Gangtey Gompa. Staying here also places you virtually on the doorstep of the Jigme Singye Wangchuck National Park, home to rare animals like the tiger and red panda. And no visit to Gangtey would be complete without a trip to the Black-Necked Crane Information Centre, which lies just 20 minutes’ walk from the hotel. When you’ve finished exploring, return to Dewachen to enjoy a delicious meat at the hotel restaurant, a traditional hot stone bath at the Aru Spa, or a specialty cocktail at the resort’s bar.
