About Gangtey Lodge
Bhutan is famous for its rugged mountain landscapes and its Gross National Happiness philosophy, and both come together at Gangtey Lodge, a 12-room luxury adventure hotel in the picturesque Phobjika Valley. It’s aimed, the owners say, at grown-up backpackers who’ve graduated to the luxury market, and it strikes a fine balance between monastic seclusion and plush comfort. Just up the hill is the Gangtey Monastery, for a look at the real monastic life; here, by contrast, you’ll have an en-suite fireplace, as well as underfloor heating and a roll-top tub with a panoramic mountain view. You’ll also have informal gourmet meals and treatments courtesy of the lodge’s spa. And among the excursions on offer are all manner of outdoor experiences, as well as such cultural offerings as guided meditation sessions with the monks.
