Overview

Thimphu, being the capital and the most developed city in Bhutan, the hotel infrastructures, facilities and services are comparatively better than those in other places. Places like Paro, Punakha and beyond mostly have resort type and old structure accommodation. Almost all the resorts and hotels in these areas are located away from the main town and scattered throughout the valley. The services and the facilities may not be comparable to those in Thimphu.
