WILD LIFE & NATURE TRAILS
PHOBJIKHA VALLEY AND GANGTAY TRAILS
Phobjikha Valley is a serene U-shaped valley famed for its marshlands and as the winter home of the endangered black-necked cranes. The valley supports rich biodiversity and hosts a three-day trek, along with gentle nature walks like the “Gangtey Nature Trail” — perfect for birdwatching and cultural immersion.
The Gangtey Nature Trail offers an easy, scenic 2–3 hour walk through meadows, bamboo groves, and pine forests in the Phobjikha (Gangtey) region.
Nestled near Dochula Pass, this botanical park features rhododendron walks, forested trails, and the historical 108 stupas. Trails include the Rhododendron Walk (1 km), Dochula Nature Trail (1.5 km), Serchu Nature Trail (1 km), Lumitsawa Ancient Trail (4.7 km), Lungchu Tshey Pilgrimage (3.5 km), and the longer Thadna Jungle Walk (12.5 km).
The park is also a birdwatcher’s paradise, home to musk deer, red pandas, blood pheasants, and a diversity of ferns and rhododendrons
