GANTEY/GOGONA
TREK (8 days 7 nights trek and tour trip)
This trek is to the beautiful Phobjikha valley (3,000m), one
of the few glacial valleys in Bhutan, which lies in the mountains
east of Wangduephodrang. After crossing over the pass you
soon come to the great monastery of Gangtey, established in
the 17th century. The village of Phobjikha lies a few kilometers
down from the monastery, on the valley floor. This quiet,
remote valley is the chosen winter home of the rare black
necked cranes, who migrate here annually from the Tibetan
plateau. This moderate trek visits the villages of Gogona
and Khotokha, passing through meadows and fields, then forests
of juniper, magnolia and rhododendrons in full bloom in April.
It is one of the finest low level treks in Bhutan.
Season:
The best times for this trek are March to May, and September
to November. The best months are April and early May when
the rhododendrons are in full bloom.
