Como Uma Paro
Overview
Being located in the Paro Valley, your resort has the advantage of being in close proximity to some of Bhutan’s greatest cultural landmarks. Bhutan is home to numerous monasteries, dzongs (fortresses), and sacred sites that hold significant religious and historical importance. Guided exploration of these landmarks allows guests to immerse themselves in Bhutan’s rich cultural tapestry and learn about the country’s traditions, beliefs, and history.
The design of “The Como Eye” lodge seamlessly blends Bhutanese aesthetics with a touch of luxury. The materials used in the construction include handcrafted stone, wood, and tiles, which contribute to the lodge’s authentic and natural ambiance. The incorporation of these traditional materials reflects the cultural heritage of Bhutan.
The furniture in the lodge is made of wood and is adorned with vibrant floral paintings created by local artists. This intricate artwork adds a unique and artistic touch to the lodge’s interior, showcasing the talent and creativity of Bhutanese artisans. The use of such furniture not only enhances the overall aesthetic appeal but also pays homage to the local artistry.
To further celebrate Bhutan’s cultural heritage, Indian cotton bedcovers are used, showcasing hand-stitched patterns. These patterns draw inspiration from Bhutan’s Buddhist culture and incorporate vibrant colors, reflecting the country’s rich traditions and spirituality. The combination of traditional craftsmanship and vibrant colors brings a sense of warmth and cultural authenticity to the lodge’s bedrooms.
Additionally, the lodge features hand-knotted rugs sourced from nearby Nepal. These rugs, crafted with meticulous attention to detail, not only add a luxurious feel but also represent the close ties between Bhutan and its neighboring country, Nepal. The use of these rugs not only enhances the comfort of the lodge but also supports local artisans and promotes sustainable practices.
