Nestled in the high Himalayas, the Kingdom of Bhutan is a world away from life in the western world. Lush green valleys strike a dazzling contrast against towering, snow-capped peaks. Buddhist prayer flags, dzhongs and colourful palaces are an ever-present reminder of the folklore that shapes daily life here. Tourism is strictly limited to preserve the traditional way of life.
Only a handful of lodges have been permitted here, with strict adherence to the iconic architectural style. Gangtey Lodge is one of our favourites, a blend of Bhutanese atmosphere and exquisite comfort. The food here is an indulgent array of traditionally inspired cuisine. This frozen mocha soufflé is a modern, but welcome treat after a morning’s hike. Try it and imagine yourself among the mountains.
