Bhutan is a Himalayan hideaway with a wealth of mystery concealed within its hills. As the only Vajrayana Buddhist nation in the world, you’ll notice a strong religious influence in all walks of life, as well as the widespread philosophy of ‘National Happiness’. During your stay in Bhutan, a daily tourism fee covers a local guide, museum fees, meals and transport. Local tours are an ideal way to explore the main destinations like Thimphu, Paro – home to the famous Taktsang Monastery – and Jakar – the site of the ancient Kurje Lhakhang temple. Adventurers should head for Bhutan’s lesser-explored east, showcasing the country’s authentic natural beauty. The eastern region features a number of hilltop monasteries and the pilgrimage site of the Aja-nye cave. Whether you’re looking for a short walk or something longer, you’ll encounter dense forests and scenic routes along the way. Most areas have hotels available, with luxury options available in the picturesque towns of Paro, Jakar, Punakha, Gangtey and Thimphu.

Wonderful service from the staff who welcome you with a traditional Bhutanese khata (scarf) and welcome drink. The room itself was large and well-appointed. Great location in the bustling heart of Thimphu, walking distance to lots of shops and restaurants. The restaurant serves a small selection of Bhutanese dishes which were delicious.

Guest review
It felt like I was visiting a close friend or a relative. The staff as well as the owner Mr Ugyen were exceptional hosts - extremely helpful, and polite which made our stay a wonderful experience. Right from great recommendations for food, places to visit, as well as for the very pleasant conversations with the owner during the cold Thimpu evenings - this trip will always be memorable. I rarely write recommendations, but this place and the people definitely deserve it. I wouldn't hesitate even for a second to book Kisa Villa again if I ever get a chance to visit thimpu again.

Penjor tries to accomodate special requests and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. You have a great view of the Paro Valley and tucked away in the mountain nestled in a quiet serene corner. The main town is only a 15 minute walk down the hill and you have the best of both worlds where you can reach the town easily and yet have a certain quieitude.

Definitely stay here! The location is stunning overlooking the Dzong, the Bhutanese food was excellent, and the room was large with plenty of Bhutanese touches that make the place feel homely and welcoming, including some antique items in the rooms. The manager and team were friendly and warm, and all the food comes from their own garden. The dining area is especially beautifully done, in a traditionally Bhutanese style with views of the Dzong as you eat. The team agreed to serve us a super early breakfast at 5:30, served on the terrace outside - again with magnificent views of the Dzong. The owner's family offers the use of their private altar room to meditate. I would happily stay here again!

Guest review
This is a really good property with an awesome restaurant which serves very tasty food. I am a very frequently traveller and had arrived after a stay at Marriott. I must say this hotel equalled if not bettered Marriott point by point on service promptness and quality. Rooms are very clean and very well maintained. Laundry service is awesome and it didn't burn a hole in my pocket. Very affordable hotel at an excellent location in Thimphu. Special thanks to Lhamo Tshering of the restaurant and all other staff members for taking good care of me during my 10 night stay there.
