Aum Leki's two-story farmhouse has a beautiful view of Punakha valley and the surrounding forests. Guests get a good sense of daily life in the countryside, with villagers plying the rice paddy fields close by. Aum Leki prepares hot stone baths on request, and can arrange campfires where her neighbors dance and sing for guests. Many short hikes with views over the valley are easily accessible from here.

A unique property in Bhutan, this hotel is the converted Governor’s residence. A blend of old and new, the rooms in the outer structure are spacious, tastefully decorated and still exhibit some of the old methods of construction such as windows set into 2 foot thick pressed mud walls. The property has an amazing view of Paro town and the Paro Dzong, which is particularly beautiful at night from the large grassy lawn at the front of the property or the new restaurant complex, also an excellent space for functions. Includes wifi.
