Accommodation in Bhutan
Where will you stay in Bhutan?
Accommodation in Bhutan is unlike anywhere else. Cosy, authentic and perhaps a little dated, it’s a world away from what you might be used to in the UK. Although there are often only a few options in Bhutan, we’ve managed to hand-pick a range of accommodation that reflects the character and culture of each destination. You might spend a night with a local family, in cosy guest houses with sweeping views of the valley below, or in a cottage-style hotel with a toasty fire.
How it works
We use a hand-picked selection of smaller hotels wherever we can, avoiding international chains, to give you a local and authentic experience when it comes to where you stay. As hotels in Bhutan don’t always fit in with European star ratings, we’ve created our own categories so you know what you can expect from your trip.
Here’s what to expect from your Rickshaw accommodation:
Most of our accommodation in Bhutan falls into this category (category 3). You can expect a small-scale guesthouse or mid-range hotel, always Bhutanese-owned and run. Perhaps it’ll be a traditional hotel with painted wooden carvings and a crackling wood stove, or maybe something a little more modern in the heart of the capital city.
In-Style accommodation - Category 4
For some buidestinations, we offer very special accommodations that are a bit more expensive than our standard options, but they provide a truly unique and comfortable stay. If you’re interested, we’d love to hear that from you.
Simple Accommodation – Category 2 (or 1)
In some destinations in Bhutan there just aren’t that many options, or it’s more about what you’ll see when you step out the front door. In this category you can expect modest accommodation, more simply furnished with only a few facilities. It could be the only guest-house in town with friendly staff but only limited English or perhaps a small family-run hotel full of local character.
Basic Accommodation – Category 1
In this category you’ll find only the essential facilities; don’t expect hot water, electricity or private bathrooms. It might well be a tent with a roll mat in the heart of Bhutan’s stunning landscape or a night in a family home where you’ll get a unique insight into the Bhutanese way of life.
