Perched in the secluded charm of Bhutan’s Phobjikha (Gangtey) Valley, Gangtey Lodge is a peaceful retreat that blends rustic farmhouse elegance with contemporary comforts. Designed in traditional Bhutanese style using local blue pine and stone, its 12 spacious suites offer heated floors, wood-burning fireplaces, and freestanding bathtubs positioned before panoramic valley views—ideal for soaking in the serene landscape.
At check-in, guests are greeted with heartfelt warmth—often a song, a shoulder massage, and warm cider—setting the tone for a stay defined by emotional hospitality. Meal times are communal yet soothing, and the in-depth seasonal menu, guided by talented chefs, showcases regional produce and flavorful cuisine.
Gangtey Lodge offers immersive, culturally rich activities that invite guests to live Bhutanese tradition:
Witness endangered Black-necked Cranes in their winter sanctuary and engage with educators from the RSPN center.
Join morning blessings at the nearby Shedra or Gangtey Monastery, and enjoy meditation or communal prayer sessions.
Embark on hikes or mountain bike through misty villages, sacred trails, and scenic viewpoints like the Gangte Nature Trail. Detailed treks into Phobjikha Valley offer spiritual insight and beautiful vistas.
Unwind with traditional hot-stone baths or scheduled in-room massages—simple yet powerful rituals for rest and reflection.
