At Gangtey Lodge we focus on the 5 keys to wellbeing by immersing you into the culture and natural environment of the Valley.
From spiritual blessings and community engagement to physical and mental rejuvenation, our authentic experiences enable you to reconnect with yourself and your loved ones.
Immersion in nature is proven to be emotionally and physically beneficial to our wellbeing. Our pristine valley boasts an array of paths and ancient trails that meander through dense pine forests, open meadows, traditional villages and crane roosting grounds. Our nature experiences cater to all fitness levels and age groups.
After a day of immersion in our beautiful valley, unwind with a relaxing in-suite fireside massage.
Finish the day with a traditional Bhutanese Hot Stone Bath or our selection of bath and spa treatments.
Our Spiritual Experiences help support the 17th century Gangtey Geonpa (Monastary) and Shedra (Buddhist College), both a short walk away.Through these venerable institutions find spiritual enrichment and delve into ancient traditions, which are an integral part of the local community.
From intimate Bhutanese dinners in our cosy Woodshed to outdoor picnics with dramatic backdrops, our dining experiences promise to introduce you to the exotic flavours of Bhutan as part of your cultural immersion into Gangtey Valley.
Phobjikha (Gangtey) Valley is rich in culture and customs, its origins shrouded in myths and legends passed down through the ages in the oral tradition. Today, the people of the valley predominantly farm potatoes, plus wheat, buckwheat, and barley. Visit the Phobjibs, who speak Nyenkha, an ancient language, and the Gangteps, who reside in the valley below the monastery and served the lamas in ancient times. Hike to a traditional farmhouse where you will be able to immerse yourself in the local community and learn more about their culture.
* The Gangtey Shedra and Monastery are working institutions and we are their honored guests. As such, all our spiritual experiences are subject to availability and the seasonal & daily schedule of the Shedra and Monastery. The monks at the Shedra and the Monastery are away for their winter break from December to February.
IMMERSE YOURSELF WITH OUR
AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCES
Our carefully curated three-night escapes allow you to deeply appreciate and connect with the beauty and spirituality of the valley we call home.
At Gangtey Lodge, we aim to disconnect children from their phones and reconnect them with the world around them. Children are naturally curious, and both our Lodge and our valley offer a wealth of authentic experiences. From milking cows and making cheese at a farmhouse to exploring the ancient trails that meander through ancient pine forests past crane roosting grounds, experiences in Gangtey offer opportunities for children to learn and grow. Our young guests love to learn how to shoot an arrow in our archery lessons or make momos in our cookery class. End the day recounting adventures with homemade hot chocolate and marshmallows by the fireplace.
Gangtey is suitable for older guests who are still mobile and able to enjoy moderate walking, nature and culture.
Gangtey Lodge is ideally located to all the attractions in Gangtey. The 16th century Gangtey Goenpa (Monastery) and Gangtey Village are 10 minute walk from the Lodge; a 5-minute walk up behind the Lodge is the Gangtey Shedra (Buddhist College). The beginning of the famous Gangtey Nature Trail is just below the Lodge, leading to many of the walks and mountain bike routes.
