Discover Bhutan’s Unique Charm with COMO Uma Lodges

Bhutan Unveiled overview

Bhutan is a unique kingdom with stunning Himalayan peaks and rich legends. See its unusual characteristics while staying at COMO Uma Paro or COMO Uma Punakha.

Important details from the source

• Bhutan is a kingdom that defies the ordinary from the outset, from the Himalayan peaks that pierce its landscapes, to the legends that shape its reputation as the Land of the Thunder Dragon.
• Here, we list some of Bhutan’s most unusual characteristics — and how to experience them for yourself with a stay at one of our Bhutanese lodges, COMO Uma Paro and COMO Uma Punakha.
• Bhutan’s borders were closed until 1974, when the government began to welcome tourists to promote its traditions to the outside world.
• Previously, Bhutan had been in self-imposed isolation to protect the country’s Buddhist culture and unspoiled landscape from globalisation.
• COMO’s itineraries offer an authentic deep-dive into the culture, history and natural beauty of Bhutan — which even today, can feel elusive to visitors unfamiliar with the country.
• You’ll get the sense of that clean air and thick forest cover almost everywhere in Bhutan, but Dochula Pass is the best place for far-reaching views that reveal the true scope of this environmental ambition.
• It’s located along the winding road between COMO Uma Punakha and COMO Uma Paro.
• The pass sits at high altitude — 3,000 metres — with sweeping views of the Himalayas on a clear day, and seemingly endless forests stretching out in every direction.
• In Bhutan, all citizens turn one year older on New Year’s Day.
• It originally began as most people did not record their own birth date due to illiteracy, and was maintained as it became easier to share a communal celebration of the year rather than a month and day.
