About this property
Set into the forested slope above the Punakha valley floor, Dhensa looks out across terraced rice fields towards the river and the ridgeline beyond. Punakha is warm, green and around two and a half hours from Thimphu over the Dochu La, which makes it the standard second stop on a western itinerary and a welcome drop in altitude after the capital.
The house style leans contemporary rather than traditional — a small, low-slung building in a valley where most hotels reach for painted timber and dzong motifs. It suits travellers who want a quiet base for the walk to Chimi Lhakhang and the Khamsum Yuelley Namgyal Chorten, without the scale or the price of the international lodges nearby.
Why we like it
- On the forested slope above the Punakha valley floor
