Did you know that Bhutan, as small as it is, is divided into 20 districts or dzongkhags, each headed by a district officer (dzongda) who must be elected. In addition, each district is also broken into smaller areas known as geog (village), led by a locally elected leader called a gup. There are 201 elected gups. So it is very well governed and each district is managed as it has been for many centuries. Each time you pass through one of the districts, you can usually find a gateway or sometimes something a little smaller like marker posts. When you join us in Bhutan, you will now know what each one signifies.

Sometimes you have to take a step back to truly appreciate what is right in front of you. You need to look at things from a different angle and Punakha Dzong is no different. This photo shows the true magnificence of the masterpiece of design, the chosen location and the remarkable ingenuity of those who built it back in 1637. The bridge was replaced to the current cantilevered design in 2008. I do believe that those who travel to Bhutan become richer in many ways from visiting this iconic dzong.

In Bhutan, jobs are not the domain of either men or women, everyone does what must be done, and always with a smile. As travellers we either intrigue them or better still, make their day by our encounter. That is the way with the Bhutanese people, they find joy in their existence no matter what task is required.
See Bhutan with us.

Yaks are often spotted in the mountainous areas all across Bhutan. We were fortunate on this trip to see newborns rollicking with other babies and even one mother struggling to give birth. Such an amazing site, you should join us to see it for yourself.

What an entertaining video. If you have a spare few minutes you might enjoy learning how the ramp eart process is done.

Not really a spoiler alert but an introduction to Bhutan. This is the beautiful statue in the gardens of Paro Airport right before you meet your guides. Such a nice way to begin your journey.

Paro Dzong may not be the biggest in the country and in some ways could be thought of as insignificant. With all monasteries there is a role to play and this one is no different. Also known as Rinpung Dzong, it houses the district Monastic Body as well as the government administrative offices of Paro Dzongkhag. History also tells us that trade goods brought from Tibet, began in Paro and the Dzongkhag played an important role.

When you visit Phobjikha, if you do not stay at Gangtey Lodge Bhutan you will never know just how spectacular it is. Yes the surrounding landscape is second to none but it is what you feel in your heart that will take your breath away. .

No wonder we are in love with this property AND have voted them the best in Conde Nast. Love

Join us for an afternoon refreshment and snack to get a taste of our homemade crisps made from Bhutan’s famous potatoes. In fact, the Phobjikha Valley produces 80% of Bhutan’s total potato supply and over 85% of the population is engaged in potato cultivation.

Leading up to the harvesting season in August, the local farmers will spend most of their time nurturing their crops in the potato plantations to secure another season of great-tasting potatoes for its people.

Keep an eye on how our chefs will be incorporating potatoes into your culinary experience at Gangtey Lodge.

Having just stayed at Gangtey Lodge with a group of agents, we unanimously agreed that we know why it has won so many awards. The Phobjikha Valley is nothing short of natures perfection and the stay in Gangtey Lodge which overlooks the valley is also perfection personified. As the description says., a seamless blend of modern and Bhutanese design. The staff become like family and the friendships are embedded in your mind for a lifetime.
