- How far is the property from the road, and is luggage carried?
- Can dietary needs be handled without compromising the local meal?
Comfort is regional
Thimphu and Paro have the broadest hotel range. Rural valleys offer memorable stays but fewer last-minute alternatives, especially during festivals or heavy weather.
