Best hotels in Gangtey

Peeking out from a cluster of Bhutan's quintessential blue pines, Amankora overlooks a valley where endangered black-neck cranes raise their wings to the sun. One of very few lodges in its corner of Gangtey, the lodge has an intimate feel made stronger by the staff's attention to detail - from personalised gifts at turn-down, surprise picnics on hikes and hot towels waiting when you return. You don't have to miss a minute of the view as you dine on the lawn (binocs in hand) or walk past forests of bamboo or yaks grazing in lush fields.

Steep slopes covered in pine trees lead down into the secluded valley of Gangtey where you'll find endangered black-neck cranes in their numbers and a tiny village at its centre. With a view of it all, Gangtey Lodge is perched on a private ridge, its own luxury version of a mountain hut. On arrival, you're presented with a white scarf to symbolise respect and care, accompanied by a rendition of the national song and followed by a neck massage - the tone for your stay is more than set. Think hot stone baths and hiking to reach glorious panoramic views and you're on the right track.
