Bhutan is a Himalayan hideaway with a wealth of mystery concealed within its hills. As the only Vajrayana Buddhist nation in the world, you’ll notice a strong religious influence in all walks of life, as well as the widespread philosophy of ‘National Happiness’. During your stay in Bhutan, a daily tourism fee covers a local guide, museum fees, meals and transport. Local tours are an ideal way to explore the main destinations like Thimphu, Paro – home to the famous Taktsang Monastery – and Jakar – the site of the ancient Kurje Lhakhang temple. Adventurers should head for Bhutan’s lesser-explored east, showcasing the country’s authentic natural beauty. The eastern region features a number of hilltop monasteries and the pilgrimage site of the Aja-nye cave. Whether you’re looking for a short walk or something longer, you’ll encounter dense forests and scenic routes along the way. Most areas have hotels available, with luxury options available in the picturesque towns of Paro, Jakar, Punakha, Gangtey and Thimphu.

Guest review
Our recent stay at Zhiwa Ling was nothing short of extraordinary, not just for the serene beauty and comfort the hotel offers, but more so for the unparalleled compassion and support shown by the staff during a very unexpected and difficult time for our family.
Upon arriving in Bhutan, we were captivated by the charm of Paro town and the hotel room and grounds. However, my mother suddenly fell ill, and the response from the Zhiwa Ling team was was nothing short of exceptional and deeply moving. From the moment we sought help, the staff treated us not as guests, but as their own family. They coordinated immediate medical support, ensured our comfort at every step, and went out of their way to check on her throughout each day and night we were there. Their empathy, warmth, and sense of responsibility were truly remarkable.
In a foreign country, far from home, it's rare to find such genuine human connection. The entire experience reminded us that hospitality, at its best, is about heart, not just service.
To the Zhiwa Ling team—thank you. We will never forget your kindness. You not only made our stay comfortable, you gave us strength when we needed it most.
We would like to especially thank Pema who was very kind at reception, Pemba the amazing manager and Sonam our incredible driver. Pemba and Sonam, in particular, stayed with us each step of the way guiding and reassuring us. They became our extended finally. Same for Zhiwa Ling Accent and team who treated us with warmth and love
We will surely visit all of you again, even if it’s just to say hello!

Guest review
The hot stone bath was definitely something we looked forward to after a long day. The staff were extremely nice and cheerful.
Additionally , they had organised a private camp fire just for us. In the cold weather, this became the way we celebrated our night. Out doors in 4°C but still warm and filled with laughs.
