Gangtey, also known as Gangtey Valley or Phobjikha Valley, is a mesmerizing destination nestled in the heart of Bhutan. Located in the district of Wangdue Phodrang, Gangtey is renowned for its pristine beauty and unique cultural treasures. The valley is home to the picturesque Gangtey Monastery, a significant religious site for followers of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. The monastery offers visitors an opportunity to immerse themselves in spiritual practices and witness traditional rituals. Gangtey is particularly famous for being the winter home of the endangered black-necked cranes that migrate from Tibet. Visitors can witness the graceful birds during the winter months, adding an enchanting touch to the valley’s natural splendour. The valley’s serene ambience, lush green meadows, and panoramic views of the surrounding mountains make Gangtey is a paradise for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful retreat in Bhutan’s untouched landscapes.
