Amenities include king-size beds, traditional wood-burning stoves and banquette window-seats, while bathrooms feature terrazzo-clad bathtubs, twin vanities, a separate shower and toilet. Hiking and cycling are arguably the best ways to explore the incredible landscape, and every lodge offers an exhaustive list of options and routes.

At an elevation of 2,250 metres (7382 feet), Paro Valley makes a beguiling start or an atmospheric end to an Amankora journey.
