I really enjoyed the dining experience at Naksel. The buffet choices were plentiful and delicious, offering a mix of local and international cuisines for every meal. Each dish was beautifully prepared, making me look forward to lunch and dinner every day I stayed. It truly showcased the flavors of Bhutan!

Really good Relaxation

I indulged in an aromatherapy massage at the spa after my hike, and it was absolutely very nice. The atmosphere was calming, and the therapist really knew how to work out the knots after a long day of trekking. This spa is definitely one of the highlights of my stay!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, set on beautiful hills with breathtaking mountain views. The architecture is charming and the rooms are comfortable. While the dining experience had its ups and downs, and the plumbing could use some attention, the overall ambiance and views make it worth the visit. Just be prepared for the altitude and consider requesting a golf buggy for easier access to the cottages.

This property exudes luxury, offering a serene atmosphere and extremely comfortable beds. The staff went above and beyond by providing packed breakfasts for our early flight, which was a lovely touch. However, it is valued highly, so be prepared for an expensive stay. Additionally, while the views are stunning, the overall experience may feel more like a large tour operation than an intimate getaway.
