ZHIWA LING ASCENT

The Zhiwa Ling Ascent: A boutique oasis in the capital with a soothing, zen aesthetic

The Zhiwa Ling Ascent is a tranquil retreat that blends traditional Bhutanese motifs with a zen aesthetic, offering a spot of monastic calm without the asceticism. Set in the middle of a clearing surrounded by tall pine forests, its rooms and dining areas have clean, modern lines. An outdoor lawn space allows guests to take in the clean mountain air while sipping restful cups of locally-grown tea, or a strong cup of coffee if that's your brew of choice. Plus, you'll feel good knowing that your stay helps Bhutan's aims of building local self-reliance. The highly professional and discreet staff, trained to international standards, regularly teach interns from the nearby hospitality institute in the daily course of their work, which reduces youth unemployment. This is a luxe experience without the luxury price-tag of the bigger hotels nearby.

Thank you for supporting a locally-owned business!

At Bhutan Himalaya Expeditions we offer a carefully curated selection of Bhutanese-owned lodges around which we build most of our trips. We believe our business supports the hopes and dreams of our homegrown Bhutanese entrepreneurs and entities whose success is vital to the strength and resilience of Bhutan's economy. Such businesses are often family-owned and operated so your journey makes a big difference in supporting the livelihoods of Bhutanese people, including the workers, farmers and producers who supply the lodges and provide the lodge's guest services.
