Amankora
The first resort in Bhutan and with five lodges across its central and western valleys, Amankora has been a part of this legendary Buddhist Kingdom for almost 20 years.
Amanyangyun’s story began over 700 kilometres from Shanghai in rural Fuzhou, a region characterised by camphor forests and historic villages.
Two decades later, an established forest has flourished, with one central 80-tonne Emperor Tree at its heart. In homage to this tree, Amanyangyun introduced an Emperor Tree Seedlings Program this spring, cultivating the seeds that fall from the tree by drying, selecting, and sowing them by hand. The resort’s gardeners carefully nurture the seedlings to germinate, before transferring them into pots in Cultural Discovery Center where little ones are invited to assist, learn and share the responsibility of these precious plants, securing their future for years to come.
