Package Overview

The Black-Necked Crane festival in Bhutan is celebrated annually at the courtyard of Gangtey Goenpa in the beautiful valley of Phobjikha. This festival is a very rare occasion for visitors to rejoice and celebrate the arrival of this endangered and majestic bird, (Grus nigricollis) or generally known as Black necked crane, during the winter months of late October to late February. These migratory birds which come from the high Tibetan highlands is believed to fly around the Gangtey Goemba three times before landing in the Phobjikha valley down below and repeat the same act when they go back to their Tibetan homeland in late February. A small number of the Black necked cranes also come to Bumdeling in far eastern Bhutan. The festival includes cultural programs such as folk songs and dances (some with black-necked crane themes) and mask dances performed by the local people, crane dances and environmental conservation-themed dramas and songs by school children. Time of festival: 11th November, 2018.
