Set on the banks of the Pho Chhu and Mo Chhu in Gumkhamo, just a short drive from Khuruthang town and a few kilometres from Punakha Dzong, Hotel River Valley is an intimate riverside stay where the sound of flowing water and wide valley views define the experience. The hotel is designed to immerse guests in Punakha’s landscapes and cultural atmosphere, with the surrounding hills, river bends, and open courtyards creating a calm and restful setting. Its location offers both convenience and serenity, making it a practical base for exploring one of Bhutan’s most picturesque valleys.

The Rooms
Hotel River Valley offers a collection of deluxe rooms, executive deluxe rooms, and a service apartment, all furnished with Wi Fi and views across the valley. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with contemporary amenities designed for easy, unhurried stays. Guests can wake to sunrise over the river and mountains, then return in the evening to interiors that balance simplicity with the warmth needed for Punakha’s climate.

Dining
The hotel’s restaurant serves Bhutanese, Indian, Chinese, Continental, and American cuisine, offering a broad menu suited to both local and international travellers. Guests can dine indoors or outdoors, and the property’s bar and cafeteria add a relaxed social element to the stay. From herbal teas in the morning to a starlit dinner in the courtyard, the food experience is shaped by comfort, variety, and views of the valley.

Facilities & Events
Hotel River Valley is equipped for both leisure and gatherings, with a fitness centre, spa and massage services, a big conference hall, and spacious courtyards that can host weddings, retreats, seminars, and private celebrations.
