Step Into Bhutanese Heritage: A Traditional Village Homestay Experience

Nestled in the heart of a tranquil Bhutanese village in Paro is a remarkable home that’s over 400 years old. Lovingly preserved and passed down through generations, this traditional house offers travellers a rare opportunity to immerse themselves in Bhutan’s rich heritage and warm hospitality.

A Glimpse Inside the Traditional Bhutanese Home

This three-storey farmhouse, owned by Ugyen and his family, blends historic charm with everyday village life. Each level serves a distinct purpose, offering guests a meaningful insight into Bhutanese traditions.

Top Floor – A Sacred Sanctuary
At the very top of the house is a quiet altar room—a sacred space dedicated to prayers and offerings. It reflects the deep spiritual roots of Bhutanese culture, and visitors often remark on the serenity they feel here.

Second Floor – Where Stories Are Shared
This is where the family kitchen and dining area are located, alongside comfortable guest rooms. It’s the heart of the home, where guests are welcomed with home-cooked meals, warm conversations, and a true sense of belonging.

Ground Floor – A Personal Museum
Once used to shelter livestock, the ground floor now houses Ugyen’s private collection of traditional artefacts. Many of these treasures were handed down from his parents, and he has curated the space as a living tribute to his heritage.

Add a Touch of Tradition to Your Stay
For a fully immersive experience, guests can also enjoy a traditional hot stone bath in a nearby extension—an age-old Bhutanese remedy known for easing aches and relaxing tired muscles.

Try Your Hand at Archery
Ugyen is an avid archery enthusiast and is always eager to share his passion. Guests can visit a small archery range on the property, where they’re invited to learn about Bhutan’s national sport and even try it themselves.
