Amankora Thimphu: A Hidden Forest Retreat with Cultural Connections in Bhutan’s Capital

Experience a serene hideaway set in pine forests above Thimphu, where quiet seclusion meets easy access to the country’s rich heritage.

Amankora Thimphu — Woodland Suites with Authentic Bhutanese Design

Nestled in Motithang’s blue pine forest, Amankora Thimphu features 16 suites inspired by the style of a traditional Dzong, with rammed-earth walls, king-size beds, banquette seating by the window, and inviting wood-burning bukhari stoves. Bathrooms include twin vanities, separate showers, and terrazzo-clad soaking tubs overlooking the stream or courtyard.

Elegant Communal Spaces & Refined Dining

The high-ceilinged living and dining area, lined with warm timber, opens to forest views, while the flagstone terrace offers an alfresco streamside setting. Menus highlight Bhutanese, Western, and Thai cuisine, thoughtfully prepared using fresh local produce.
