Day 68 - Phobjikha

A slightly shorter day today on the bikes broken up with a visit to Tongsa Dzong (fortified monastery). We arrived in good time to see some of the black necked cranes (which migrate here every winter from Siberia) including a couple that were being treated for injuries*. Also saw some yaks on the way. It’s very cold here after the heat of the last 3 days. The hotel has a nice wood fire on the go and we even have a wood stove in the room!
*We're staying in a Ramsar Conservation Area. There was no electricity in the valley until 2008, as they didn't want to disturb the cranes.Baca selengkapnya
