Hotel description

The name of the Amankora hotel complex is made up of two languages - Sanskrit and Bhutanese. In Sanskrit, the word "Aman" means "peace", from Bhutanese "kora" is translated as "wandering pilgrim". The hotel complex "World of Wandering Pilgrims" consists of 5 small cozy boutique hotels. Each hotel has from 8 to 29 rooms and is located in a gorge lost in the shadow of the Himalayan Mountains.

Amankora Gangtey is surrounded by pine forests and farms in the picturesque Gangtey Valley.

This is the only hotel that was allowed to be built in the Black Mountains National Park, the only place on the planet where black cranes return for the winter - rare and amazing in their beauty and grace birds.

Gangtey is the smallest and coziest hotel of the Amankora complex in Bhutan. There are only 8 rooms. Their layout and interior are similar to the interior of the rooms at the Amankora Thimphu hotel. All rooms are spacious, made in an ascetic Buddhist style from natural materials. Minimalism, environmental friendliness and at the same time concern for the maximum comfort of the guest - this ideology of the Aman chain is reflected in the design of the rooms of this cozy mountain hotel. The walls of the rooms are covered with panels of natural wood in calm light shades. Each room also has a Bukhari, a traditional Bhutanese wood-burning stove. The seamless mosaic floor in the bathroom - terrazzo - is made exclusively from natural materials. The bathroom will definitely have a double vanity, shower and toilet. The room itself has a cozy living area with armchairs by the window, so that you can enjoy the truly fabulous beauty of the local nature in privacy. The windows offer stunning views of the valley and the Gangtey Goemba monastery, built in the 16th century. All this, and in addition the special aura of the Himalayas will bring peace, harmony and relaxation to your holiday in Bhutan.
