PhobjiKa Valey

Phobjikha Valley, or Gangte Valley, is located at an altitude of 3,000 m, 135 km from Thimphu, Bhutan, 80 km north of Punakha. The U-shaped Phobzika Valley, located across a vast area of ​​the Ganges region of central Bhutan, is actually a protected wetland and also a Ramsar site. The Phobzika Valley, located just below the Ganges Cave, is the winter habitat of the rare species of Black Naked Crane. Numerous birds come here every year in the lure of small bamboo grasses in the valley. Bhutanese consider this bird sacred and a symbol of good fortune. For many years there was no electricity service in the area except for the birds. There is a crane center in the valley from where the whole valley is monitored and the birds are taken care of. It is said that when these birds came to the valley from distant Tibet at the end of October, they circled the cave three times in the Ganges, then entered the valley, and returned in the same way when they returned in February.
