Highland Glamping

Highland Glamping is a dome-style retreat in Paro, Bhutan, offering riverfront accommodation at Kepdinkha and hilltop stays at Zachakha. It suits travellers who want a closer connection to the landscape while enjoying the comforts of a well-appointed room.

The appeal lies in making the setting part of your stay. Give yourself an afternoon between sightseeing excursions to enjoy your surroundings, rather than treating the accommodation simply as somewhere to return after dinner.

Highland Glamping at a glance

The riverfront and hilltop accommodation occupy separate locations, offering different perspectives on the valley.

Choose your setting: riverfront or hilltop

Riverfront domes at Kepdinkha

Set beside the river among pine trees, the riverfront domes are our recommendation for travellers drawn to a sheltered, natural setting. Choose this part of the property when leisurely mornings and time outdoors are priorities.

Hilltop domes at Zachakha

The two hilltop domes overlook Paro Valley, with views towards the airport, Rinpung Dzong and Ta Dzong. For photographers and aviation enthusiasts, watching aircraft approach through the mountains adds a distinctive dimension to the stay.

Our recommendation is to choose by setting first: the riverfront for proximity to the water and trees, or the hilltop for the wider outlook.

Dome accommodation and facilities

Bathrooms include a bathtub and separate shower. In-room facilities include Wi-Fi, a mini fridge and a writing desk.

For a longer stay, the Superior Deluxe category offers useful additional space. Couples celebrating a special occasion may prefer the more intimate scale of the hilltop location.

Hot stone baths, wellness and dining

The property’s wellness offering includes an open-roof herbal hot stone bath, steam bath and spa treatments, alongside spaces for yoga and meditation. Dining encompasses Bhutanese, Indian and Continental cuisine.

We recommend leaving the late afternoon free after a day of exploring. A bath, an unhurried meal and an early evening can be a welcome balance to a sightseeing itinerary.

Exploring Paro from Highland Glamping

Paro brings together some of Bhutan’s most recognisable sights, including Tiger’s Nest Monastery and Rinpung Dzong, as well as traditional villages and temples.

For a first visit, we recommend three nights in Paro: an easy introductory day, a dedicated day for Tiger’s Nest and time to enjoy the accommodation itself. Place the monastery hike after a gentler day rather than immediately after arrival.

Highland Glamping works particularly well towards the end of a wider Bhutan journey, when a slower final chapter gives you time to reflect on the places you have visited.
