Each room features large windows or balconies, framing breathtaking views of the shimmering river below and the charming Khuruthang town across the valley. Whether it’s the soft morning mist rising over the water or the golden glow of sunset, the scenery is ever-changing and always enchanting.

The resort’s peaceful setting makes it perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring Punakha’s famous landmarks, such as the Punakha Dzong, Chimi Lhakhang, or the suspension bridges nearby. Guests can also enjoy leisurely walks along the riverside, breathing in the fresh mountain air.
