Delicious Dining Experience

The restaurant at the resort offered a good buffet, with a fantastic selection of local Bhutanese dishes and Indian cuisine. Each breakfast was a treat, and the dinner was no different with a beautiful setup on the terrace. The ambience created an enjoyable dining experience, especially with some local dance performances before dinner.

The bathroom in my room was a luxurious retreat featuring high-quality amenities. I really enjoyed the large soaking tub as well as the walk-in shower. The spacious design added to the feeling of comfort, making it feel more like a spa than just a regular bathroom.
