Amankora Punakha

Built by a former chief abbot as a rural summer palace, this old farmhouse, with two modern packed-earth extensions, has pretty views over orchards, rice paddies and the Mo Chhu (or Mother River) and offers visitors a chance to live in a traditional farmhouse, then retire to modern bedrooms.
