PEMAKO PUNAKHA

A journey of awakening in Bhutan's Punakha valley

THE LEGEND OF PEMAKO
An earthly paradise waiting to be discovered

Inspired by the remote Himalayan sanctuary, or beyul, of the same name, Pemako is an earthly paradise waiting to be discovered.

A perfect convergence of person, place and time; where peace restores perspective, spaces inspire wonder and the pace is entirely your own.
