À vivre

The Wangdue Eco Lodge, perched at 1,459m altitude overlooking a valley dotted with small Bhutanese villages, is a renovated ancestral house that has become a pioneer of ecotourism in Bhutan.
Involving the local community, the lodge is recognised by the “Bhutan Low Carbon Destination Project” for its commitment to sustainable production and consumption. While seeking to mitigate tourism's negative impact on the environment and communities, it is built on eco-responsible hospitality. It aims to contribute to building a green community through sustainable facilities that ensure a low carbon footprint.
As part of this green community destination, travellers come here to step away from the outside world and immerse themselves in an authentic, peaceful Bhutanese retreat.

Layout

In addition to its four cabins, Wangdue Eco Lodge also has a lounge and bar on the ground floor of its main building, as well as a separate building housing a dining room, kitchen, and conference rooms.
Its produce comes from its own terraced plots (herbs, vegetables, rice, and more) or from surrounding villages, and is served in dishes typical of Bhutan.

Rooms

The chalets, built in the traditional style and set along the ridge, each comprise two suites, with each suite self-contained and designed for a couple or family. They consist of a spacious sitting room, a dressing room, a bathroom and a bedroom with a king-size bed or twin beds. The bedroom opens onto a large panoramic balcony overlooking the valley, its villages, their daily life and their organic terraces. On clear days, some Tibetan peaks of the Himalayas can even be seen.
Hot water in the rooms is produced using solar energy.

Activities offered

The lodge occupies a strategic location, making it easy to explore western and central Bhutan, with many cultural and outdoor excursions available nearby.
Travellers wishing to discover everyday life in Bhutan can observe farming activities on local plantations, get acquainted with national cuisine, produce traditional local cheese and wine, or take part in authentic community activities.
More adventurous travellers can try archery or set off on hikes to the surrounding monasteries, forests, villages and peaks.
