The Bukhari restaurant serves both local and international cuisine with ingredients sourced from the local farmers in Punakha. The Punakha valley is considered one of the most fruitful valleys in Bhutan with a variety of fresh vegetables, fruit and dairy daily. Savour the flavours of traditional Bhutanese dishes or take comfort in old favourites – whichever you choose, you won’t be disappointed.

COMO Shambhala Menu offers healthy cuisine rich in living enzymes, vitamins and minerals, raw food and predominantly vegetarian selections, available at Bukhari and from room service.

With nine hillside Valley View rooms, and two free-standing luxury private villas (one One-Bedroom Villa and one two-bedroom COMO Villa), Uma Punakha provides luxury in the wilderness in signature COMO style.

9 Valley View Rooms (27–34 sq m/291-266sq ft): Valley View Rooms, some with outdoor terraces, are light and airy with king-size or twin beds, sheesham-wood furniture and bright wall paintings by local artisans. These rooms also have enough space for a comfortable lounge area, deep bathtubs and a separate shower.

1 One Bedroom Villa (51sq m/549sq ft; Outdoor Terrace: 18sq m/194sq ft): This one bedroom standalone villa with a separate living room, dressing room and bathroom offers extremely spacious accommodation. The villa has French windows opening up to the valley view from the bedroom. Outside, there is a private glade, abundant with flowers.

1 COMO Villa (90sq m/969sq ft; Outdoor terrace: 40sq m/ 431sq ft): The COMO two bedroom villa has a large living and dining area opening on to a panoramic sweep of the Punakha Valley. Two double bedrooms flank each side, affording dramatic views and welcome privacy—including from the large outdoor terrace. Interiors feature Bhutanese design details and understated comfort. In the bedrooms, luxurious Indian cotton bedcovers have hand-stitched patterns paying homage to Bhutan’s Buddhist culture and colours, while hand-knotted rugs come from nearby Nepal. The COMO Villa sits within its own glade planted with azaleas, rhododendrons, camellias and hydrangeas.
