Taktsangri-La : Faraway Heaven

Wonderful stay place and very near Taksang Tiger's Nest

Wonderful boutique hotel in the heart of the Himalayan mountains!! Situated near the Tiger’s Nest, this is a great place to relax and day trip from. The facilities have been recently renovated (e.g., modern bathrooms) and blend seamlessly with the traditional Bhutanese architecture. The owner, Sonam, kindly welcomed me with copious amounts of ara and the staff were always on hand to assist with my requests. Overall, great value for money. Do yourself a favor and book now!!

The perfect place to set down your bags after a day of exploration. The welcome is warm and genuine, the rooms are spacious and well-equipped, and the traditional décor ensures you never forget where you are. The cuisine is refined, both in taste and presentation. More than just accommodation, this is a place to truly unwind in the heart of nature, with all the comfort you need — ideally located at the foot of the trail leading to the Tiger’s Nest. Dima.

We stayed here in July 2025 and it was exactly what we were looking for! A beautiful traditional-style hotel with great taste and attention to detail. The view from our room—overlooking the mountains and forest—was stunning. It’s right next to the starting point of the Tiger’s Nest trail, with a green area and easy access to the forest, which was perfect for us as we wanted to enjoy the outdoors with our baby. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Honestly, it ticked all the boxes. Special mention to the set menus—we tried the traditional Bhutanese set and absolutely loved it. A must-try if you're after a fine dining experience with local flavours!

It’s one of the nicest places that we stayed at while in Bhutan. The staff was extremely cheerful and Sonam gave us great recommendations for our Bhutan trip. He was also extremely helpful in arranging a cake for us at the last minute. Would recommend this place to anyone coming to Bhutan and planning to hike to the Tiger’s nest monastery.

Some places don’t just give you a room, they give you a feeling. Taktsangri-La did just that. I hosted a soul yoga retreat here, and from the moment we arrived, we felt it… this deep, calming energy that holds you. There’s something incredibly powerful about waking up and seeing Tiger’s Nest Monastery right outside your window. It’s like the mountains are whispering, reminding you to breathe deeper, feel more, and return to yourself. The architecture is stunning; traditional yet cosy, grounding yet full of light. The whole space invites stillness. Whether you’re meditating, journaling, or just sitting with a cup of tea, you feel connected to the land, to the moment, and yourself. And then there’s Sonam and his team. I’ve never felt so cared for. They didn’t just welcome us, they embraced us. Every meal was made with love, every detail felt intentional, and every smile was genuine. This isn’t just a hotel. It’s a soul space - a place for healing, for reconnecting, for remembering what matters. I left a piece of my heart there… and took with me something even deeper.
