One of the challenging tasks in the Bhutan tour is to decide on an ideal place to stay. Why is that so? The range of elevation of Himalayan Kingdom is pretty wide starting at around 200 metre with the highest elevation being above 7,000 metre. This makes the topography very interesting and diverse, making you want to stay at various elevations and hence choosing among the best hotels in Bhutan is an Himalayan task.
At the lowest elevation is Drangme Chhu where water sports are permitted. Here is also the famous Royal Manas National Park. At higher altitudes are Thimpu, Paro and Chela La pass. Staying at any of these places will offer picturesque views of the landscape. Naturally, it will be a tough call to make.
Here we come to your rescue. We have a short list of 7 top resorts and hotels in Bhutan, each of which will more than adequately quench your passion for being amidst nature.
