  1. Gangtey Monastery sits just up the hill, which means you wake up to that view whether you want a spiritual experience or simply a roll-top tub and an en-suite fireplace. This small luxury lodge in the Phobjika Valley pitches itself at grown-up backpackers who've stopped pretending discomfort builds character. Guided meditation with monks, gourmet meals, and a spa share the itinerary with mountain treks. The Michelin Guide awarded it 2 Keys.

    One honor, in evidence:

    The record strongest first
