Punakha Lodge Dining Room Menu & Review

At Amankora, Paro, Bhutan

Set among rice paddies near Punakha Dzong

At the lower-altitude Punakha lodge, the kitchen leans further into Bhutanese cooking than the Paro dining room does, drawing on the valley's rice paddies and warmer growing conditions. It's typically visited partway through an Amankora journey, and the menu is designed to feel distinct from the Paro and Thimphu stops rather than repeat the same rotation.

Menu Highlights

  • Phaksha paa, pork stir-fried with dried chilies and radish
  • Punakha red rice, grown in the valley below the lodge
  • A seasonal vegetable curry using produce from the valley's farms

Reservation Tip

Ask your Amankora guide to arrange a Punakha Dzong visit timed around a lodge meal — the fortress is a short drive away.
