Amankora Gangtey is located in the remote Phobjikha Valley, a glacial valley that has been virtually untouched by modern civilisation. Part of the Black Mountains National Park wildlife reserve, the valley is home each winter to a flock of 300 endangered black-neck cranes. It is surrounded by nature and blends tradition and simplicity with high quality facilities and service. The modern and minimalistic eight-Suite Amankora Gangtey offers stunning valley views via its floor-to-ceiling windows. The hotel features a family style dining venue, Spa facilities including two treatment rooms and an intimate yoga/meditation room. The hotel also offers locally brewed alcohol with a flickering candle light dinner.
