Bhutan gangtey Gogona Trek

Bhutan Gangtey Gogona trek is a combination of cultural and moderate nature trekking trip. This trip commences with a visit to some wonderful Dzongs, Chortens and Museum in Paro and Thimphu. We will also visit the famous Taktsang Monastery which is regarded as one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Buddhist. It is perched on the side of a sheer cliff 900 m above the floor of Paro Valley and takes around 2/3 hrs hike to reach the monastery. Then we drive east through one of the few glacial valleys in Bhutan to Phobjikha Valley the starting point of the Bhutan Gangtey Gogona trek. This is a short and finest low elevations trek which takes you through several remote villages, meadows and fields in Bhutan. The best month for this trek is from April to early May when the weather is excellent and the trail becomes colorful with rhododendrons flower all over. The Valley of Gangtey is one of the most beautiful places in Bhutan and is also the home to rare black necked cranes. We will also visit Gangtey Gompa monastery which is the only Nyingmapa monastery on the western side of the Black mountains.
