Amankora, Gangtey

Gangtey, Bhutan
“A charming modern and minimalist lodge perched in the Phobjika Valley”

In the little-visited Phobjikha Valley near the village of Gangtey, the eight suite Amankora Gangtey Lodge is set on a forested knoll with scenic views of the valley floor and the 16th century Gangtey Goemba monastery. Part of the Black Mountains National Park wildlife reserve, the valley is home each winter to a flock of 300 endangered black-neck cranes. Suite interiors are identical to those of Amankora Thimphu, each enjoying a view across the valley. 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.
