A Central Oasis Surrounded by Palaces, Temples, Monasteries,
More central to the palaces, monasteries, temples and wonderful landscapes of the verdant Choekhor Valley.
Unlike its contemporaries, Amankora Bumthang settles in the heart of the valley amongst the ancient buildings and streets of the fascinating town of Jakar. Step outside the resort’s courtyard and you will be immediately enswirled in a world of palaces, temples, monasteries and local dwellings.
Wandichholing Palace – the birthplace of many royal members of Bhutan’s monarchy – is next door to Amankora Bumthang. No fewer than 29 temples and monasteries are within walking distance. Museums and historical sites are at hand, and organic farms and local craft producers lie just outside the city.

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
