Private Tours to Gangtey

Phobjikha Valley is a stunningly vast U-shaped glacial landscape also known as Gangtey or Gangteng Valley after the impressive Gangteng Monastery. Uncover a vast marshy land criss-crossed by swathes of grassy pasture where cattle and horse graze. The picturesque valley, set against the backdrop of the towering Black Mountain Range, offers rich biodiversity and is popular for its scenic splendor and cultural uniqueness. Phobjikha Valley is brimming with diverse fauna, including the black-necked cranes and 13 other globally threatened species. It’s also famous for a special type of dwarf bamboo, which draws in the cranes during roosting season in the winter. The region is also famous for its coniferous forests with blue pine, maple and rhododendrons interspersed through the valley, along with farmlands where cash crops such as potato and turnips are grown.
