Festivals of Bhutan – Black Crane

Hidden in a corner of the Himalaya, the secretive kingdom of Bhutan is an unforgettable destination with ancient traditions, spectacular mountain scenery and vibrant festivals. This extra-special departure takes in the Black Crane Festival, held at Gangtey Monastery in the Phobjikha Valley. This annual one-day event is organised to celebrate the arrival of cranes to overwinter in Bhutan. This itinerary is valid for the Black Crane Festival only. For alternative festival departures in Bhutan, please have a look at Paro Festival, Thimphu Festival or Trongsa Festival.
