I am considering a trip in October with Amankora, but I am concerned about the number of days/nights in each city. I have 8 night as go as follows:
Paro - 3 nights
Punahka - 1 night
Thimphu - 2 nights
Gantey - 2 nights
Normally, the trip would be 2-nights in Paro and 2-nights in Punakha, but due to occupancy, I can only get the above nights. Any problems with the above nights?
Suggested time in Paro, Punakha, Thimphu, and Gantey
you have to keep in mind the amount of time it takes to travel between towns. for instance, paro to thimpu is only 50km, or so. but it can take over 2 hours because the road is being repaved. elsewhere, the roads are extremely winding.
i think you can see most of paro in 2 days. we found punahka in one day to be sufficient.
i%26#39;m very familiar with aman resorts all over the world and visited a couple of their locations in bhutan. i am generally not a fan of it for bhutan. i don%26#39;t think bhutan is a country you want to see from the luxury of an anesthetized, western boutique resort. granted that many of the other lodging choices in the country are quite rustic by western standards, i was very glad that i stayed in mostly local hotels and lodges rather than the amans.
Suggested time in Paro, Punakha, Thimphu, and Gantey
in 2006 November we stayed 2 nights in each of Paro Thimpu Phunaka and Gangte at aman resorts which were wonderful with great food for this part of the world. I would have prefered 3 nights each. There is so much to do in each area, with hiking, sights, car and driver and guide and just getting used to the altitude (no great problem for any of gthe 6 of us) and getting oriented, I%26#39;d stay 3 nights next time in each resort.
