COMO Uma Punakha is a beautiful resort, perched on a hillside overlooking the Mo Chu River. The hotel overlooks the Punakha Valley with lush-green paddy fields and rolling forested mountains. This low-lying valley serves as an interesting destination for both summer and winter touring. In this beautiful and interesting destination, Uma Punakha offers just 11 rooms, all spread out along a ridge, taking in the valleys fresh air and offering jaw-dropping views.
The COMO Uma Punakha luxury lodge has just eleven light and airy rooms. There are eight Valley View rooms, some with private terraces and breathtaking views. Those seeking more space and privacy can opt for the resort’s two COMO villas, set away from the main building. There is a two-bedroom COMO Villa, ideal for families and a One-Bedroom Villa, perfect for couples. Both have privacy and views of the forest, mountains and the surrounding valley.
Punakha, once the capital of Bhutan, is now an important holiday destination for foreign travellers. It has the country’s most impressive Dzong and the surrounding valleys offer many treks to nearby monasteries and villages. There are opportunities for whitewater rafting, cycling and meeting locals at weekend markets. Archery is common game here and you fill find villagers invite you to a free practice. But more importantly, what you will find here in abundance is peace and tranquillity.
