An absolutely fantastic hotel! The Bhutanese food is delightful, and the views from every corner of the hotel are mesmerizing. The rooms are very spacious, with big balconies that provide perfect views of Wangdue Dzong. Excellent WiFi and working space. The price is very reasonable for the experience and the beautiful surroundings this ecolodge offers. I also enjoyed a countryside trek and a cooking class where I learned to cook local Bhutanese food. A must-visit!

Great ecolodge

Love the philosophy and everything that has been done with the place. Wonderful view of the mountains and Wangdue Dzong from the dining area and rooms. Such friendly hosts! We were well-fed with organic and homegrown food for all of our meals.

Must-stay in Wangdue

This is a place you want to stay in, if you like intimate, quiet places and love waking up to scenic views. The location is beautiful, and it is easy to access the rest of the spots like the Punakha fortress, Wangdue fortress, etc. 
You must try your hands at Bhutanese cooking. Dawa, the chef, is a master and she effortlessly guides you to some simple yet delicious bhutanese dishes. My favourite was preparing the banana flower cheese (veg) prep. 
The staff sets a warm and friendly tone, with Kezang (manager) ready to address any issue, Dawa preparing comfort- home cooked meals and Jimmy setting up the place with care.
The rooms are spacious, with a lovely and generous balcony. The bathroom is fitted with modern hardware and has hot water.  
Do explore the area over a stroll around the windmills, or simply sit in the balcony for hours watching the paddy fields below and the hills in front. 
Tip: Carry mosquito repellant cream/spray. The rooms have the plugged in vaporisers but they aren't effective against the very adamant insects vying for some new blood! 
Carry your own toiletries, and a pair of slippers.

If you want a closer to local experience, away from the busy places - this is it.

Beautiful property, scenic views, perfect weather, perfect hosts. Place is very calm serene and peaceful. Food was delicious. Hosts were very welcoming and helpful. If you’re in Punakha this property is highly recommended. Warm and pleasant stay!

Great experience!

We stayed for a night at the ecolodge before our transit to Paro. An amazing location , very kind staff & great room. 
We had the view of the wangdue fortress from our room and it just gets better once the night falls. 

The food was excellent , they served us chocolate mint tea at our welcome, homegrown  at their lodge. The dinner was a spread of Bhutanese food with very fresh ingredients. Overall, we loved our stay and we would definitely recommend this place .

Great service, warm staff, brilliant location

Special Energy in this ecologically responsible lodging.  The owners pride themselves on organic produce and farm-sourced meals.  The views of the cloud forest from  the terrace are breathtaking.  All the details are attended to here.  I felt very cared for.  Stay here if you enjoy peace of mind.

Special Energy

Had a lovely time at the Ecolodge, it's a magical place.  Just the right mix of luxury and home comforts.  We were greeted with cups of lemon verbena tea and fruits/veg grown in the garden.  Kitchen staff is friendly and attentive, make sure to tell them that you like to eat spicy food and you'll be treated to the most delicious of homegrown chilis!  Amazing and dramatic views of the Fort from the balcony, and there are many interesting day trips to be taken less than 30 minutes drive from the lodge.  Highly recommend!

Hilltop refuge

I have missed this place since the moment we left. Had I had it my way, I would have extended my stay. Stay here when you come, it will set the tone for an unforgettable trip. 

After a timely airport pickup, our expert and friendly driver took us to the lodge. A long and beautiful drive through the mountains, punctuated by a tea stop in a circular lodge enveloped by clouds, culminated with the arrival to this most spectacular location. 

The lodge's layout is brilliant, all rooms are equally spacious and elegant, and have a beautiful large balcony with a view to the valley, the river and the fort. Make an effort for an early morning - the clouds rising from the mountains are a sight to behold. 

Slept soundly enveloped by silence on a very comfortable bed with deliciously soft bedding; appreciated the cleanliness, the big airy bathroom, thoughtful lighting and a cute little booth table.  

The staff, caring and friendly, crafts incredible meals out of home-grown ingredients. Served in a cozy, plant filled dining room or al fresco, they nourish body and soul after days of hiking and exploring all there is to see. 

A bargain for the price, do come with a loose agenda, you might want to reconsider your plans! Can't recommend enough. 

Nourished body and soul! 

The Ecolodge is a special place that I could not recommend enough. It was easy to make a tour arrangements through the lodge in advance, and our wonderful driver picked us up from the airport upon landing in Bhutan. After a long but beautiful drive through the mountains, we arrived at the lodge that evening to a spectacular room—beautifully furnished, clean, quiet, large, with a view of the valley and fort. What a perfect spot to land!

Unfortunately—and unrelated to the lodge—I came down with a 24-hour flu that night. Even though I was bedridden for an entire day, the incredible staff at the lodge checked in on me, brought me hot drinks, a variety of foods (in an effort to feed me), and generally went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable and recovering. Their kindness and attention made a real difference, and even though it was horrible to be sick, turns out the Ecolodge is also the perfect spot to convalesce :) 

This spot is a real gem, and by far the nicest place I stayed during my travels in Bhutan. The food (once I was well enough to eat) was delicious, the grounds beautifully maintained, the location serene and scenic. For the price, it is a bargain too. Stay here!


Exceptional Stay!

I stayed in Ecolodge in Wangdue in August 2002. The journey to Wangdue was amazing but I was just so thrilled when I reached Ecolodge. 

The lodge itself is overlooking the Wangdue Dzong, you get the privilege to get a view of it from every corner of the lodge.

The lodge was built in traditional Bhutanese fashion, the ornaments, furniture, decorations as well as paintings on the buildings are another point to be amazed.

Not only room was so spacious and comfortable that no need to mention it at all, food was also a ‘Cannot miss’ so was a ‘Must have’ thing. Kezang, the hotel manager and his family grow vegetables and fruits around the lodge, he uses only seasonal homegrown ingredients to prepare meals. I must say that he and his wife must be the best chefs in Bhutan 😊

After staying in Ecolodge for two days, I move to the eastern side of Bhutan but since I missed Kezang’s food as well as the beauty that Ecolodge provided, I returned back and stayed there for another four nights.

Beautiful little birds woke me up each morning, and I so much loved having breakfast whilst overlooking the Dzong. 

What a place! It truly is a ‘Must stay’ if you are traveling to Bhutan.
I really miss the time in Ecolodge! Thank you so much Kezang! 😊😊😊😊😊
