The Udumwara Resort is about 5 km away from town and has a picturesque location. Check out if you are looking for a quiet sojourn away from the bustle of the main town.

The Main Bar is named Pakshing (means Bamboo in Bhutanese) and serves traditional Bhutanese liquor right from the humble Ara to the expensive 1907. For global brands, you can walk down to Nyeltsho Bar that has a good selection of international wine, scotch, rum, vodka and beer brands. The open deck in Nyeltsho is a good place to sit and watch the sunset with your favorite drink in hand.

The double bed room at udumwara
Rooms are attractive, spacious though I could feel a cold draft inside. There are heaters but no underfloor heating like in Zhiwa Ling hotel. There is a curtained shower area but no bathtub. There is free wi-fi, tv, mini bar and the usual amenities

This is found in most Bhutanese homes
The Udumwara Group of resorts is owned by late hotelier Khipchu Dorjee’s family. I was in the hotel in off season (January) and there were virtually no guests. The scenic beauty around is good and the facilities seemed well equipped if not outstanding.
