Inspired by the Four Harmonious Friends fable, Yarkay celebrates Thimphu’s cultural soul. The hotel offers fine comforts while staying true to Bhutanese symbolism. It’s ideal for guests seeking a mix of heritage and boutique charm.
Designed to reflect the rich cultural heritage of Bhutan’s captivating capital, our first hotel in this unique and special country draws its inspiration from the Four Harmonious Friends, a beloved national folktale which describes an elephant, a rabbit, a monkey and a partridge working together to harvest fruit from a magical tree.
