They were also extremely helpful in dealing with our son's food allergy. Our... More

Uma arranged the 5 day Himalayian Explorer package that allowed us to explore both Paro and Punakha during our trip to Bhutan and everything was completely unforgettable. We had 3 nights at Uma Paro exploring the local Dzong, mountain biking, hiking up to the Tiger's Nest and chilling out in the wonderful spa. The views from the rooms were beautiful... More

Excellent service, above and beyond what was expected. During my stay here I had an accident (at PM) and the hotel provided me with a hospital companion and when I got back at PM there was a chef who asked what food I wanted as I had missed dinner. Then the following morning the manager made up a good arm... More

Well, we were staying with our friends and visited this place only for 1 thing - to check out the world's biggest book, on display in their library. The property is beautiful - a great combination of traditional Bhutanese architecture with most modern of the facilities.

Recent opportunity to stay on two occasions during our recent travels to Paro for the Tsechu religious dance festivals. The valley view is AMAZING! The food and accommodations are architecturally stunning yet in perfect keeping with Drupka traditions and their country setting. The food - Indian, Thai, Continental, or local toned down for tourist consumption - simply fabulous! Croissants rival... More

On our Classic Journeys guided adventure in Bhutan, the Tiger's Nest was the highlight. Our "base camp" is this elaborately decorated hotel which offers vistas and views of the valley unsurpassed in beauty. Our room was spacious and it was only a short walk to the dining where excellent meals were served.

My friend and I booked a 6 night stay with Uma (4 nights in Paro, 2 in Punakha to be reviewed separately). They handled the booking perfectly answered all of my questions via email quickly (given the 13 hour time difference) and provided us with a great guide and driver. The hotel looks like it could have sat on this... More

After first having stayed at the Uma property in Punakha, our expectations were high. I can safely say they were fully met. Our suite was spacious and well equipped, the staff friendly and responsive. When our waiter realised we liked our coffee, he in the morning suggested he would get the coffee from the espresso machine in the bar rather... More

Some years ago my husband red about Bhutan for the first time and decided that, sooner or later, we should have gone there. Actually we did it this year, at the end of March, and we definitely fell in love with this incredible country: a pristine nature, gentle and kind people, majestic Dzongs and monasteries, gorgeously decorated temples, chanting and...
