Perfect base for touring Bhutan
In the remote vistas of the Bhutanese Valleys, you will find the luxurious COMO Uma Punakha, giving you an oasis of comfort in the most serene of landscapes.
Far below you, the mysterious Mo Chu River snakes its serpentine way across the verdant valley floor. On either side of the gentle river the hills stretch upwards, steep carpets of luxuriant green undergrowth reaching towards the sky.
Beyond them lie majestic mountains, coloured dark blue and purple by the distance and crowned – like gigantic mythological kings – by wreaths of white snow. You sigh to yourself. Have you ever seen anything so naturally beautiful and untouched? Is Bhutan the land that the world forgot? Possibly. But that doesn’t mean the COMO Uma Punakha doesn’t know how to look after guests – which is why it’s an essential stopover on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Bhutan.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
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.
