A Getaway in Bhutan with a British Touch


British Royal couple Prince William and Kate Middleton will be heading out to Bhutan for a special meeting with the country’s king and queen this spring, and Uma by COMO is commemorating their visit with a special itinerary that combines British influences with Bhutan’s remarkable offerings.  Partnering with games manufacturer  Jaques London, the intimate 29-room resort will bring a hand-crafted croquet set—a quintessential English pastime—which guests can enjoy at the lawn when not out on an excursion exploring the Takstsang “Tiger’s Nest” Monastery or hiking the surrounding beautiful hills. A British-inspired afternoon tea will also be part of the package, served at the lobby by the hotel’s bukhari (a traditional fireplace), while for those in need of something relaxing at the end of the day, a complimentary holistic therapy at the COMO Shambhala Retreat awaits. The Royal Himalayan Discovery itinerary is available from April to July 2016.
