Amankora :
A Journey of Soul and Stillness
The Destination
Combining the Sanskrit word aman (“peace”) with kora — the Dzongkha term for “circular pilgrimage” — Amankora traces a spiritual and physical journey through the valleys of Bhutan, the last Himalayan Buddhist kingdom.
Nestled between Tibet and India, Bhutan remains one of the world’s most pristine and culturally intact destinations, where glacial rivers carve deep valleys beneath snow-capped peaks and centuries-old monasteries crown forested ridges.
The Experience
Aman’s unique concept in Bhutan — five lodges, one seamless journey — invites travellers to discover the country’s diverse landscapes and spiritual heritage in luxurious simplicity.
Located across the valleys of Paro, Thimphu, Punakha, Gangtey, and Bumthang, each lodge reflects the spirit of its surroundings while maintaining Aman’s signature calm and authenticity.
Each lodge features intimate dining and lounge spaces, soothing Aman Spas, and warm Bhutanese hospitality. Guests can start or end their journey at any lodge, with all logistics seamlessly arranged for a fluid and deeply personal exploration.
