About this property
The Phobjikha valley is a wide, treeless glacial bowl at around 3,000 metres, ringed by forest and grazed by cattle, and from late October to February it is where several hundred black-necked cranes come down from Tibet to winter. Gangtey Goenpa, the monastery that gives the valley its other name, sits on a spur above it.
Amankora’s lodge here is one of the smallest on the circuit and faces straight out over that view — a stone-and-timber building in the brand’s spare, quiet idiom, deliberately doing very little. It is the stop travellers remember, and the reason to break the drive between Punakha and Trongsa rather than push through in a single day.
Why we like it
- Faces across the Phobjikha valley towards Gangtey Goenpa
- In the winter grounds of the black-necked cranes, late October to February
- One of the smaller lodges on the Amankora circuit
