A Mindful and Cultural Journey

Amankora is a series of five lodges across the central and western valleys of Bhutan, one of the most remote and pristine environments on Earth. The first two nights will be spent in Amankora Thimphu, situated in blue pine forests close to the capital’s sights and shopping. Nights three and four will be spent in Amankora Paro, close to some of Bhutan’s most treasured historical monuments including the Tiger’s Nest Monastery.

Privately guided expeditions will take in Thimphu’s Pangri Zampa Lakhang, where monks study astrology, the National Library and the National Textile Museum, as well as Paro’s beautiful Dzong and ancient Kyichu Lkakhang temple. Guests will also experience a blessing ceremony with Rinpoche.

In the historic port of Galle, Amangalla rests within the ramparts of Galle Fort, revealing the Unesco World Heritage Sites’s daily activities from its gracious verandah. Behind the hotel’s regal façade lies a 200-year-old garden and a serene swimming pool. Dine on exquisite Sri Lankan and international fare in the chandelier-lit Zaal (Great Hall), beside the pool or on the verandah itself.

A complimentary 90-minute treatment in the Amangalla spa, The Baths, will prepare you for a full day of exporation. Stroll from Amangalla along the Fort’s winding streets lined with buildings from the Dutch and British colonial areas, browse the multitude of boutiques and jewellery stores, and watch as locals fly kite from the ramparts at sunset.
