Gangtey Valley, Bhutan

Beautiful valley that is also very important ecologically. This is the place where the black necked cranes come to mate when the fly down from Tibet. The first 2 pics are of the crane, taken at the crane center. One is stuffed and in the museum. The other is a live injured bird housed at the center. The next two are of the valley, taken from opposite sides. The last two are from Lawala Pass on the road to Gangtey. 5th is a long view from the top. Last is a stupa and prayer flags, also at the crest.Read more
