The Fifth Amanresort Opens in Bhutan

The best way to see the magical kingdom of Bhutan, Land of the Thunder Dragon, is with Amanresorts. For centuries the Kingdom was closed to the outside world, and Amanresorts was the first foreign company allowed to open a series of properties throughout the different remarkable regions of Bhutan. Called Amankora, the luxurious lodges are nestled strategically through the pristine landscape, the perfect place to discover the ancient traditions of the mystical Himalayas. Beginning in October 2007, the Amankora experience will be extended east to Bumthang with an additional 16-suite lodge with a dining room, living room, library and spa. Follow the "peaceful pilgrimage" of Amankora and enjoy a circuitous journey from lodge to lodge, experiencing the very best of Bhutan along the way.
