The little village of Gangtey is located in the beautiful Phobjikha Valley, within the Wangdue Phodrang District in Central Bhutan. Set at an altitude of 3000 metres, and tucked away in an ancient glacial valley of lush greenery and cultivated farmlands, it serves as the perfect base from which to explore the spectacular surrounding wilderness. The village is home to several fascinating sites, namely the 17th-century Gangtey Monastery, the only Nyingmapa monastery on the western slopes of the Black Mountains. In winter, visitors can spot endangered black-necked cranes, which migrate from the Tibetan Plateau and the vast plains of Central Asia to this warmer corner of the world. The lucky few can enjoy the famous Tshechu Festival, a lively and colourful annual celebration featuring a vibrant mix of games, costumes, dancing and drumming.
