Jakar Village Lodge

Top choice in Bhutan


This hotel, situated down a quiet village lane below the dzong, is run by a former dzongdag (district administrator) who will regale you with stories as you sample his assortment of teas and freshly ground coffee. Guest rooms are spotless and beds are sumptuous, while the sunny terrace enjoys great views over the valley and up to the dzong.

Boasting some of the best food in Bumthang, the kitchen staff take great care to vary the menu, which includes tasty buckwheat pancakes for breakfast. Bicycle hire is also available.
