With its peaceful setting on the banks of the Mo Chu River, just a 10-minute drive from Punakha Dzong, this tented camp feels wonderfully cocooned amongst lush paddy fields and forested hills. It’s these hills and valleys that make this an adventure playground with rafting, archery, kayaking and hiking, though those looking to be pampered are also in the right place, with yoga, a hot stone bath, and wellness therapies. The enticing pool and sun loungers are a welcome addition to this luxury lodge, whether you’ve been battling rapids or practising sun salutations.
The six timber and canvas tents, two-bedroom suite and one-bedroom River House are luxuriously appointed, with inviting velvet sofas, beautiful blue inlaid detailing, large baths, and private verandas, ideal for enjoying a morning coffee. For families, the River House and the two-bedroom suite each boasts its own pool and separate living space. Dining here is to be savoured, from local specialities with a twist to the changing menu that creatively uses the fresh, sustainable produce of the region.
