The Rinchenling is a small, rustic lodge some distance outside of Jakar, on the west side of the river. My wife and I stayed here for a total of four nights – two on our way to eastern Bhutan, and two more on our way back. Rooms are arranged around a small courtyard planted with apple trees.

The Rinchenling Lodge is the nicest place that we stayed at in all of Bhutan. The rooms are large and clean with private bathrooms.
