Hotel Sinchula

Western Bhutan


This local hotel located next to a grand peepul tree is mainly of interest to foreign travellers for its alfresco rooftop restaurant and bar. Grab a cold beer (Nu 150 to Nu 180) and a chicken sizzler and kick back under a blanket of stars.

Room rates are Nu 1146/1260 for a single/double, and Nu 1980/2220 for a deluxe single/double with air-conditioning.
